- So, the original article in 2012 after it got changed from the redirect was a copy of the linked above page from Vocational Rehabilitation Association UK. It was cited, but the content was entirely copypasted from there. The only edit history of the editor who did that is the creation of that article; their account is now redlinked. There is plenty of good content that has since been added by other editors, and I don't want that to get lost. But I'm not sure what is the best strategy when the whole thing is built on copyvio. I can work on rewriting it (not today) to remove the problematic content or at least paraphrase. But I'm not sure what to do about the page revisions since every revision has copyrighted material in it. Hoping someone with more experience can help. I only caught it because I was looking at the citations to add some more information/generally improve the article after merging. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 20:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I created the rewrite page and just removed the copyvio. Could be re-added as paraphrase, but honestly I think the whole lead needs work. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 16:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- @SomeoneDreaming: Are you fine with possibly moving it to mainspace now to get more eyes on reworking the content? We'll double check for copyvio of course. Sennecaster (Chat) 06:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm cool with that. I'm just not sure how to handle revdel? SomeoneDreaming (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
