Copyvio?[edit]

Which page came first? Most of the current text of this article was introduced in May 2005. So the question is, how old is the Loremaster page? 204.153.84.10 (talk) 22:32, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Loremaster website is only a year old. The Wikia version was created about a year younger after the text was posted on this Wikipedia page; even if the text here was copied from somewhere else ultimately, the text at these other links was apparently copied from Wikipedia. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 03:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am extremely sceptical that the text inserted in these revisions is original to Wikipedia. It reads very much like it was copied from a sourcebook. That text still forms the core of the article, and the rest is entirely in-universe anyway. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was possibly copied from somewhere, but until such a source is identified, I don't think it can be properly called copyvio. If I have time (much) later today, I'll check a few books that I have to see if any of it matches. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 12:02, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One thing I can tell you is that it was not copied from the book Silver Marches, which I had pegged as the #1 suspect, unless it was very skillfully done. I'll have to check other sources later. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 12:16, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, sure. I've removed the speedy nomination for now. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:25, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - I also checked a few of the earliest sources, which I didn't really suspect, but once you rule out the obvious ones... 24.148.0.83 (talk) 13:21, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
