- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
Last year at Wikimania in London we created a bot that checks all edits to medical articles over a certain size for issues with copyright infringement using the API of Turnitin. It then creates a list of concerns which are followed up by human editors. Many cases of copyright infringement that would have likely remained undetected have been dealt with. Additionally an opportunity to provide feedback regarding problematic edits was provided. This presentation will be a discussion of:
- how the bot works
- ongoing efforts to improve its function
- the possibility of expanding its scope not only to all of the English Wikipedia but also to other languages
We will also touch on those who copy and paste from us without attribution. A prominent example this year was a textbook by the Oxford University Press (specifically content about Ebola).
