To avoid false positives from mirrors, the best option is to compare a text
as soon as it is saved. Also, you exclude certain websites from the
comparison because you know they're the mirrors, you exclude rollbacks, ...
Then, it is better to have a human checking that it is really a copyvio (it
could well be a public domain text, or another Wikipedia article).
