| :::::Hello, ] and ]. :) This is my opinion. I think as a stand-alone sentence this text is not too closely paraphrased. Many of the duplicative words are pretty standard, not striking, and the structure has been changed in many respects. That said, if I were doing this, there's one would that I would change. "Exodus" - it's not the most commonly encountered of words, and "departure" or perhaps "evacuation" (I don't know the context) would likely serve as well. I would also further distinguish by not following the core order of the sentence, which can be broken down "occupation prompted/caused the exodus", to something more like "The residents left the area after the Alliance forces took occupation of the town." That said, if this is the only sentence, it seems distinguished enough to me and as it is ] on top of that I would consider that the revision suffices. My only big concern would be if this were one sentence out of an entire passage that was paraphrased sentence for sentence, in which case you might duplicate the structure of a larger source. | |||

| ==Revdel requests for articles I have just cleaned up== | |||
| Hey there Moonriddengirl. I have just been spending the past week scrutinizing several articles for potential copyright violations. Sadly, I found these articles to be full of them. I have spent hours preparing their pruning. Most of the violations I uncovered were excessive (in-ref) quotations from copyrighted books and journals. For example starting with this edit right up to this the entire article was just copy paste of whole pages of books. I have done what I can to eliminate the plagiarisms and close paraphrasings on that article as well as a few other articles. It would be much appreciated if you could revdel all the revisions of these 4 articles prior to my clean ups. Regards, Dilpa. ] (]) 07:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC) | |||

| Welcome
If you are here with questions about an article I have deleted or a copyright concern, please consider first reading my personal policies with regards to deletion and copyright, as these may provide your answer. While you can email me to reach me in my volunteer capacity, I don't recommend it. I very seldom check that email account. If you do email me, please leave a note here telling me so or I may never see it. I hardly ever check that account. To leave a message for me, press the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page, or simply click here. Remember to sign your message with ~~~~. I will respond to all civil messages. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply; I will leave you a "talkback" notice if you request one and will generally try to trigger your automatic notification even if you don't. (I sometimes fail to be consistent there; please excuse me if I overlook it.) If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it, but I would nevertheless appreciate it you could trigger my automatic notification. {{Ping}} works well for that. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, feel free to approach me here. Admins, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it. |

During my current work interim position, I have found myself with not a lot of spare time that isn't consumed by family. I can go long periods without logging in to Misplaced Pages. If you have an urgent note for me here, please consider alerting me via email at mdennis
wikimedia.org. (This is my work email address, and I do not mix work and volunteering, but mailing that address makes sure I will see it promptly, usually within a day.) If not urgent, I'll come by as soon as I can, and I heartily welcome talk page stalkers. :) Oh, I have discovered that sometimes when people don't tell me it's a volunteer contact, I have handled it with the wrong hat on. Please make which "me" you want clear!
