Alice Greenough Orr
Hi, Montana! Please don't remove the copyvio blanking template from any article unless you're sure that it was added in genuine error or as vandalism. In the case of Alice Greenough Orr, it's there for a good reason – the page was created by Billy Hathorn, one of our biggest copyright offenders of all time and the subject of a massive CCI. If you compare the current version of the page with the last version edited by Hathorn you can see that it remains substantially unchanged. ALL text added by Hathorn needs to be removed, whether or not it now appears to be copyvio – his history is such that we presume all his contributions to be unacceptable. The page can be rewritten at ; to be useable, the rewrite should not contain any material from Hathorn's version of the page. An alternative is to wait for it to be deleted and then re-create it from scratch. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree with your assessment that this version is substantially the same as the one made by the sock account many, many years ago. When I ran toolforge, I looked at the top two articles flagged as possibly having issues, One pinned at 16% the other at 12%. Nonetheless, they highlighted some phrases that matched up and I took a look at those and rewrote them. If you really think there are still specific problematic areas, go ahead and note them at the talkpage, but seriously I think it’s fixed. Also, having done some copyvio cleanup myself, it is important to note that just because somebody committed mass copyvio much of the time does not mean every single thing they did was a copyvio.
