Japanese Independent Churches: since the very creation of this article (2009), a long paragraph which is a complete copy-paste from a copyrighted book has been in the lede. The source of the copy-paste was then added in 2013, but still without stating the paragraph is a copy-paste. I have copy-pasted the paragraph from the book and indicated that it is simply a copy-paste in an edit today. I am not sure if it is a copyvio, because I do not have much expertise in this domain.

@Veverve: I removed the quote entirely, as I don't think that it has a place in the article, and certainly not in the lead. It's technically fine, but it is weird to have a gigantic blockquote at the start of the article. Sennecaster (Chat) 03:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
