Copyright violations[edit]

A large part of the content recently added by ‎User:Samarpan Korengee Lama was copy-pasted from published sources, but they did not even properly reference these sources. A few examples:

the sentence Gurung usually use "Gurung" to refer to themselves when they speak Nepali. However, in their own SinoTibetan language, Tamu-kwi, they refer to themselves as Tamu. and Long after jagir land allocations were restricted almost entirely to the higher oﬃcer classes of the Nepalese army due to their martial character, rank and ﬁle Gurung troops of the elite Kali Bahadur regiment continued to be granted them. (Regmi, 1965:23). were copy-pasted from Ragsdale (1990), see pages 5 + end of page 9 and several more sentences in this same article
the sentences The other groups living with them are Indo-Aryans from the south Brahmins, Chettris and the service castes, metal-workers, tailors and leather-workers. These people can easily be distinguished from the mongoloid hill peoples by their Aryan features. Brahmins, for instance, tend to live in the valley bottoms and their houses are often painted an ochre colour whereas Gurung houses are white. were copy-pasted from Macfarlane (1992), see page 3 and several other passages in this article

More soon. Pinging previous editors of this page @Arjayay, Yamaguchi先生, and GoingBatty: please comment and suggest how to deal with the copy-pasted passages. – BhagyaMani (talk) 18:59, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BhagyaMani: Per Wikipedia:Text copyright violations 101, revert the additions, and then discuss here the proper way to include the information in the article. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 19:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your fast reply. I had already twice reverted the additions a few days ago, but Samarpan Korengee Lama undid these reverts. And I had no intent to run into an edit war. – BhagyaMani (talk) 19:18, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The copyvios have now been deleted from the page history - Arjayay (talk) 19:43, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
