Plagiarised![edit]

That has now been added to this article as part of the "Death and legacy" of Beatrice Webb. However, is it even relevant to the article? We should definitely make note of it on this talk page (included in the template I added and the section here) but I don't think it is relevant to the article subject. For example, would we want to record on the article of a head of state every instance of someone plagiarising that article? From Hill To Shore (talk) 16:51, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's more coverage on this, and in good sources. And it's good that it's only one sentence atm. However, my view is that even one sentence fails WP:PROPORTION. Talkpage media banner is good, but it shouldn't be in the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:27, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
