Libyan genocide ( history · last edit · rewrite) from "Genocide in Libya: Shar, a Hidden Colonial History" by Ali Abdullatif Ahmida (Routledge, 2021) [1]
Sections with issues are as follows:
Lead, paragraph 3: almost entirely verbatim from p.3 and p. 62
Lead, paragraph 4: Sentence 4 ("The history that Libyans recorded...") from preface
Lead, paragraph 4: Sentence 5 ( "As a result, Italian colonization and atrocities...") from p. 29
The issues above have been present since the very first version of the article, created on 10 December 2023 by Skitash ( talk · contribs). Diff: [2]
Next is the "Etymology" section, which was added by the same user on 11 December 2023, much of which is a very close paraphrase of p. 98. Diff: [3]
Previously, Skitash had to reword the "Links to the Holocaust" section as it was a close paraphrase of the cited Middle East Eye article: [4], which they had added on 11 December 2023 [5] in the same edit as the above "Etymology" section edit. They have also been warned on 18 June 2023 [6] and on 2 December 2023 [7] for copyright violations on other articles.
The second user who has seemingly added copyright violating content is Mohammed Al-Keesh ( talk · contribs), on 20 March 2024 [8] [9].
In the "Death Camps" section, the entire third paragraph ("Braiga concentration camp...") and most of the sixth ("Magrun camp interned...") is a direct copy from p. 42, p. 46, and p. 92. The first sentence of the first paragraph ("The colonial state spent...") is plagiarised from p. 60. There's also some copying of shorter phrases in the first, fourth, fifth, and seventh paragraphs.
He added the entire unsourced "Death Marches" section in the same edit, where most of the first sentence of the second paragraph ("One of the most documented is...") is copied from p. 62. The image included and uploaded by the user is also copied from the same text, p. 66, as evidenced by the figure caption included in the image.
Additionally, in the "Genocide" section, the fourth paragraph ("The intentional killing of cattle...") is entirely copied from p. 85, except for the first sentence.
In total, I count that around 400 words of the ~2.2k word article is blatant copying or close paraphrasing. I have removed the offending content in this edit [10] Meluiel ( talk) 17:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
