Certain historical revisions of this page may meet criterion RD1 for revision deletion, as they contain significant copyright violations of https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/mad-jack-churchill-a-rare-breed-of-warrior/ (Copyvios report) that have been removed in the meantime. A comment was left for the reviewing administrator: The details of the copyrighted material are described on the talk page. The infringing material was copied from the source ad-verbatim, and much of it has remained in the article for the past 18 years, without attribution (some of the most problematic of that has now been removed). In some cases, the sections have been attributed to the correct source at some point, but may still be copyright infringement, or may have been for some time. Note that the copyvios scores are unreliable, due to a comment on the source page, where someone has copy/pasted the Wikipedia article as of 2006 (from two weeks after the infringement) into a comment. Even 18 years later, the article contained sections that were directly taken from the source, without attribution..
Note to admins: In case of doubt, remove this template and post a message asking for review at WT:CP. With this script, go to the history with auto-selected revisions. Note to the requestor: Make sure the page has already been reverted to a non-infringing revision or that infringing text has been removed or replaced before submitting this request.
