- Tourism in Balochistan, Pakistan ( history · last edit) from http://www.balochistan.gov.pk/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=4&id=29&Itemid=492, possibly othe sources. I am considering that WP:CCI may be needed here, although the most prevalent issues I am seeing are unattributed splits. See [5] (and subsequent sections) and [6].

- I've asked the contributor to work a bit further on the rewrite, User_talk:Mar4d#Close_paraphrasing. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:21, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- He has not. Will somebody else please evaluate this one? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- First of all, a government brochure promoting business investment is really not a good source on which to base an entire article. If perfume was traded 2500 years ago, then surely there will be a scholarly article discussing trade links. Not that that has anything in particular to do with tourism, and off-topic for the purpose of this page. The first paragraph looks OK (barring the odd typo), though more to do with geography than tourism, but doesn't appear to have been lifted from elsewhere. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs are minimal "copy/reshuffle/synonymize"s of the source material, much too close in my judgement. The 4th paragraph, first and last sentences look OK, the middle sentences are basically uncritical copying from the source. This whole thing should be redone from multiple sources, rather than just reading down through one brochure - or since the editor is showing no interest, removed.

- Thanks. I've removed the problematic paragraphs and sentences. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:00, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
