Please correct/reword/rewrite some of the sections detailed in the following URL: https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Syama+Prasad+Mukherjee&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0 Currently the "Possible Violation" is at 67.7%.. I'd like to see that down around 20%. Haxwell (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Comment @Haxwell: That tool shows similarities in the text, only. It does not check which version (Wikipedia's or the other) came first. Copyright violations are a serious concern, but Wikipedia being mirrored is not. In such a situation I'd suggest that you check to see whether the original text came from Wikipedia or from elsewhere; if Wikipedia wrote this stuff first, this is a non-issue; if the other content came first, then this is grounds for an immediate fail.

@Vanamonde93: Can you give me your opinion? I checked and I'm not sure.. I think you are probably correct (they copied wikipedia) but perhaps not.. Haxwell (talk) 03:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
- Okay. this url appears to have copied from Wikipedia; our article contained the text before the dailyexcelsior piece was published. The same is not true [1] for the other piece; in that case, Wikipedia appears to be the one plagiarizing. The decision on this result I will leave to you. Vanamonde (talk) 10:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Comment I'd also suggest the lead requires some expansion as it does not offer an overview of the article to the reader. Bungle (talk • contribs) 18:13, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Comment Additionally, Mukherjee's primary legacy is that of the party he founded and the ideology he propagated, ie, a political legacy. The legacy section should not consisted merely of things named after him. Vanamonde (talk) 06:42, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
The reviewer disappeared, so placing back in the queue. Wizardman 15:47, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
