Copyvio

Turns out the original version of this page came right from Mike's own site ([1]). It survived to the present as this article's Acclaim section, so I've sent that to WP:CPN. I'll likely start working on a replacement next week (gotta get up to the far-away library with the good sources) if nobody beats me to it.

Please do not add circular references to this article

retroacid.be (live: [2], earliest archive: [3], June 19, 2021) is nearly identical to this revision's lead section from December 12, 2016
jango.com (live: [4]) is also nearly identical to the same rev

The lead section has a long edit history on Wikipedia so I think it's safe to say the external sites were plagiarized from here instead of vice versa. I've removed the citations, and I'll go through and make sure the lead section matches [5], which is independent of Wikipedia, and cite that instead.

@Box of wolves I think @Liz may have cautiously blanked part of this article due to the copvio raised in the AFD. Since you've examined this closely, are you able to restore the sections that you determined to not be copyvio? —siro χ o 04:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
