Not a plagiarized submission.

[edit]

I would like to respond to the reviewer's claim that this material was copied from https://wikiake.com/riki/. In short: this is not copied material. This whole draft was created by myself, in my own words, in February of 2023, and added on to over the course of this year in order to make the article more suitable to be accepted. At some point, I did notice that the website Wikiake began displaying what was my non-accepted Wikipedia draft on their website. I had never heard of this website before and do not know how my draft was obtained, but my guess would be that somebody with the ability to view Wikipedia drafts must have copied it over to that site? This submission has been sitting in rejected status for a number of months mostly due to lack of sources that qualify it as notable (I have included several articles that directly cover the subject, but I digress), however, I have to object to the claim that it was copied from another source. In short, the material was not copied from Wikiake, as Significa liberdade states, rather, the Wikiake article was copied from this draft. I cannot rewrite the material in my own words as the article draft here is my own words that some other website copied. There is no way for me to verify this, but it is the truth.

I have investigated this report of a copyright problem and have determined that the Wikilake web site has copied this draft without attribution. The earliest web archive I can find of the web site is from March 7, 2023. Note that that archive, and the current web site use the phrasing "2023 will see Riki play the Pasadena..." which corresponds to wording in this older version of the draft from Feb 17, 2023. A review of the history, from the very first version shows that the draft was built up the version that matches the Wikilake web site. There is no copyright violation. -- Whpq (talk) 20:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
