Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Plagiarism?

I got a 99.4% match for plagarism from this link. Care to elaborate? EggRoll97 (talk) 04:51, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Take a look at the site that came up positive on the plagiarism search and then think about who copied who - I think it is pretty obvious!! [1] Is anyone volunteering to contact them and suggest that they acknowledge Wikipedia rather than take all the credit for themselves?

@ThoughtIdRetired: Nevermind, now that I look it again, it's a bit suspicious that a tour website would have a Wikipedia-style description of Scotland. EggRoll97 (talk) 08:28, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

@EggRoll97: Thanks for reviewing – yeah, that's clearly plagiarism on their part rather than ours. A quick look at the page history shows that the prose was composed by several users over several years - plagiarising that website so slowly with so many sockpuppets would arguably have been a greater effort than just creating new prose, haha! --Newbiepedian (talk · C · X! · L) 00:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
