Created on the 26th, not the 24th. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I've moved this on T:TDYK. You should probably step on the QPQ, given that this is already late.--Laun chba ller 08:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: QPQ done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Full review needed.--Laun chba ller 21:58, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

God help you if you ever try and pass this off as a QPQ. I just did my own checks and much of the University section is straight out of the source. This should be remedied before I can give this an actual tick.--Laun chba ller 01:01, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Could you elaborate on the issue? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:08, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Never mind, Earwig was bellyaching about [1], but it seems to have been published after us, so I think we're good.--Laun chba ller 01:14, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Wow, if that site is accurate, that looks like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers used text from my article in writing their press releases? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Looks like it. Journalism seems to be on the decline across the board; I've had the Evening Standard copy and paste wholesale from my early version of Matty Healy, Time Out lift from my Piri article, I've had my Mwaksy Mudenda article copied by the Daily Mail (who hate Wikipedia), and I'm all ears as to where The Guardian, the Financial Times, the i, the Evening Standard, the Face, and Harper's Bazaar Australia all got Nia Archives' real name from, given that I got it from an obscure not-on-Google database and many of them are not interviews.--Laun chba ller 01:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
