From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Y - It appears that the book, which shows a publication date of November 17 2008, is a copy-paste of dozens of Wikipedia articles. For example, I examined the history of the article Home Rule Movement which is also duplicated in the book. The opening sentence was started in the WP article All India Home Rule League on November 9 2005 by an IP and, through several edits by User:Rama's Arrow on November 24 2005 was developed into the entire article now appearing in the book. The book's text was copied sometime before this edit in September 2007. Editing in the Wikipedia article such as Jallianwala Bagh massacre shows that it was developed over time through various edits by a variety editors and was not a wholesale copy-paste. It is possible that the book's publisher, ISHA, is India's equivalent of Icon Group International. — CactusWriter | needles 14:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the same user created the article both times, I suggest the admins discuss with that user, and consider create-protection. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
