inserted. Note that this is a last resort option; try and find if you can access the content before doing this. Presumptive removals may also be warranted in cases where the subject copied a specific thing (e.g. plot summaries), figuring out where the subject copied from would be too difficult, or where the CCI could be wrapped up quicker by just removing everything. If the sources are inaccessible and stubbing/removing the problematic content would not be feasible, tag the article for presumptive deletion. For presumptive removals and deletions:

229:, which will run a Google search and compare websites that were found to have matching text. There is a daily limit on the number of searches that can be run. This option can be useful for recent edits and for CCI subjects who don't cite sources, but will usually just turn up mirrors or unattributed copies for anything older than three months. I recommend turning it off in most situations.

Earwig will sometimes have trouble reading certain archives and websites, so be patient and reload a few times if it doesn't work initially. Earwig does not work on books or journals, and cannot translate non-English sources into
English, so if you want you use Earwig for comparisons you will have to

America's; if you

4. View the results. Ignore the percentage, go off of highlighted text. At least check everything above ten percent. Just because something doesn't register on Earwig doesn't mean it's not a copyright violation-- close paraphrasing is not easily detected, and you'll sometimes have to manually compare

In some cases, sources copied from by the CCI subjects are inaccessible, of questionable veracity, or significant money would have to be spent to access them. There are also cases where infringement is guaranteed and obvious in most significant edits. In these cases, it is best to remove the content

3. Enter the article in and run the scan. Alternatively, just compare the sources cited in the edit with the edit id, as long as the source is not dead. I strongly encourage looking at the sources cited in the initial edits, as they may no longer be in the article, and earwig only does a limited web

CCI's vary greatly on subject matter and the way in which the subject copied over content. Becoming familiar with the subject's way of editing-- in what ways they copied from sources, the type of citation style they used, and what sources they were fond of copying from-- is useful when focusing down

12. For book or other "offline/paywall" type violations, look up sentences and unique phrases used in the edit on Google Books/google to try and find a match, although this is not always reliable as several books have no preview and Google can be random in what it decides to show. Additionally, you

2. On an article that has a long history and many edits from many different users, you may not even need to run a check. Instead, take the diff link and paste it into the "URL comparison" box and run the comparison on the article on the listing. Look at the text highlighted, which will show whether

6. If you do find (a) violation(s), remove or reword it. Make sure the article is still coherent afterwards. When debating between rewording or removing, consider how essential the content is to the article and how much would need to be reworded. Don't feel guilty for choosing remove over rewrite.
276:
Keep in mind, many sites have copied from
Knowledge over the years, and using the search engine with earwig will almost always find a handful, so be careful when removing content. If it seems like the website copied from Knowledge, CTRL F and type "Knowledge", which will often highlight along the
