User:Chris is me/Copyviofinder.pl

Screenshot pointing out a copyvio from a blog. This led to a discovery of mass copyvios on the Death Note articles.

Copyviofinder.pl is a script written by Hex that I operate. The script is designed for in-legitamite-article copyvios. This is how it runs:

  1. It gets a result from Special:Random.
  2. It Googles 6-8 sentences from the article.
  3. Any non-mirror result is displayed.
  4. I check the URL and edit, if a copyvio.

If you were sent here from an edit summary, send your questions here, please. If you want the script, ask me. I don't see why I can't put it up for public download, but just as a precaution, I won't put up my modified version, nor link to Hex's (although it is quite easy to find).
