Copy & Paste detection | |
It powers the CopyPatrol feed, among other tasks. It is a copy and paste detection bot that populates a database with possible copyvios which is then used to create the CopyPatrol feed. It is based on the multi-year efforts of WP:Turnitin. How it works[edit]
Page triage[edit]
Current state[edit]Currently it works only for the en/es/fr/cs Wikipedias (There may be potential for it to expand to other languages - just ask!). It has been a great help for medical articles. Efforts to make it more functional are ongoing. The results are being placed at CopyPatrol tool and the bot runs 24/7. There is NO plan for this bot to make edits to mainspace. The concept has been discussed with the WMF legal team who are happy with it. Who runs the bot[edit]It is run by Hebrew Wikipedian User:Eran. Doc James and User:Ocaasi have been guiding its development. Source[edit]The bot is based on Pywikibot and you can find its source code in GitHub. It is possible to run the bot in other Wikipedia languages, but to run the bot you have to request an account for iThenticate. |
