Overall: ALT1 and IMG0 preferred. Earwig shows 65.4% copyvio with Oliver's Christ's College Alumni page as well as a Business Insider article. 〜 Festucalex • talk 12:03, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@Festucalex: I always forget something, thanks for finding this issue. Think it's fixed now. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 16:37, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@MyCatIsAChonk: It's at 39.4% now; please try to get it below 32%. Here's the Earwig link if you want to compare. I'm not sure how this high copyvio score wasn't caught earlier in AryKun's GA review. 〜 Festucalex • talk 16:53, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I checked the revision of the article I passed, and I don't think there was a copyvio problem there. There were about three sentences that could be classed as copyvio; the rest was just names, stock phrases, and small factual bits that couldn't be paraphrased. I guess I should have been more insistent on changing those couple sentences, maybe, but even with what I would say is almost no copyvio, Earwig still returns almost 40%, so I'm not really sure how great a metric that is.

@Festucalex: Most of what it's catching are long names and quotes, so I'm not sure how I can do anything more than cut quotes. Regardless, I did my best to fix it again. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 17:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

All good now. ALT1 and IMG0 preferred. 〜 Festucalex • talk 18:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I think ALT1 is not factually correct so will promote ALT0 without objection. Bruxton (talk) 16:10, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
