How can the Copper Age replace the Stone Age? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.233.134 (talk) 21:18, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

That’s weird. I have never heard of the “Copper Age”. Should this be replaced? 2001:569:5657:1000:EC90:F2E8:7CC2:86DE (talk) 22:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's a term used in some periodizations of some regions. Remsense 02:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

This article is forged. edit

This article has been copied and pasted from an unknown source. This needs fixed. 38.43.22.44 (talk) 19:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

This seems not to be the case:
  • The only page as far as I can tell that mirrors much of the page's prose verbatim is this slide deck, which was clearly copying from Wikipedia, and was published after all the edits originally adding to the article.
  • The page's edit history does not seem nefarious, I don't see any copyvio editing patterns looking through it.
But, that's what I've ascertained from checking known sources. I couldn't say anything about whether it's been copied from an unknown source—no one could say that, oh no! Remsense 19:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
So this forge was forged from a website that forged wikipedia? 38.43.22.44 (talk) 22:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know, nothing in this Wikipedia article has been plagiarised from another source. Remsense 22:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I.e., there's no evidence found to indicate that this article was copied from some other source.
Instead, at least one other article was found that copied from this article. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations#Other websites copying Wikipedia (and see citogenesis, too).
(And what you're describing isn't forgery, it's copyright infringement.) Guy Harris (talk) 07:01, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Forgery is a white-collar crime, plagiarism is for the hoi polloi. Remsense 10:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok. I think I know why now. Thanks. 38.43.22.44 (talk) 18:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
