It used to be easier to spot copyvios on English Wikipedia earlier, but due to some issues with Google, the bot which detected the copyvios (CorenBot) is no longer running, though I have come to understand that Jimmy and Coren are having talks with Google on this.
Fair enough. Just that at the scale the India program will run at, a technology solution might very well be a easier first step than human interventions.
I think sandbox editing before going to mainspace would work out well here. But a sandbox in a Chapter hosted wiki doesn't seem right to me, because it is almost totally disconnected from the ground realities at English Wikipedia. Also, editing on an enwiki sandbox will enable better feedback
Quite possibly correct. Just wondering about it in terms of DMCA liability for the WMF and more.
Thank you.
