message: One account has deleted matter from this article fifteen times, added the same plagiarism three times, and done no other edits anywhere.  Could there be a remedy more appropriate than shutting down the page? —Tamfang (talk) 09:11, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically there was no copyright violation. It became a edit war, with a editor constantly removing references and manipulating other source material (without not even bothering to at least say something here about that) until another editor placed this template. One can look at the old page and see there is not copyright violation. The template should be removed. No deletion of page as its about a term that was somewhat used by Westerners and others in the past and still by Turks for Albanians.Best.Resnjari (talk) 21:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, , but I don't agree. The content was copy-pasted from http://albanianorientalist.blogspot.it/, where it was posted on 16 April 2012, and where it is claimed that it was written by Ermal Bega, executive director of the Albanian Center for Oriental Studies, Tirana, Albania; published in issue number 5 of URA magazine; and translated from Albanian by Armir Taraj. I don't see any reason to doubt those claims, and nor do I see any free licence which would allow us to copy that material here. Do you? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:53, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree . I read the whole blog on Albanian Orientalist and in no way does this Wikipedia article copy content from that site as it stands now. Moreover the article you refer to on that site does not in anyway cite references while this article does. This article is based on references and has scope for expansion. I still fail to see how you have proven this to be a copyright violation or even plagiarism. The only thing that this article has and that the other article is that they share mainly the word Arnaut. Maybe i overlooked it, but cite an example to show this issue of copyright violations. Current tag should be removed. Issues are addressed. Best.Resnjari (talk) 14:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , I think we may be at cross-purposes? I have of course removed the copyright violation. The content added with  was an exact, word-for-word, copy-paste from albanianorientalist.blogspot.it, starting from "Many of us have heard about the Arnaouts …" and ending with "… the editorial board of the cultural-scientific magazine for Oriental Studies “URA” (the Bridge) has decided to dedicate this exclusive issue to them, the Arnaouts." The remaining content in the article is, as far as I can determine, fine, as I think you are saying. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:46, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , when the issue was first brought up no one made reference to that blog and it further implied that the article should be deleted wholesale, which i am not in favour of. Had no idea what was needed to be addressed and done or where to start. Anyway if one looks at the history of the page, an editor kept deliberately deleting the surname section and in a way editing warring before the tag was placed. By the way, is there some kind of Wikipedia tool that one can use to do a check if a page has plagerised from somewhere, kind of like a turnitin system used by universities these days to scrutinize students essay's?
