So far, steady progress is being made rewriting and having entries deleted, but there’s more work to be done.
EDIT: I’ve discovered some of the edits were in actuality because the TARDIS Wiki copied from TV Tropes in the years between edits. I’ll keep that in mind for future edits.

Per this ATT
, I decided to open up a project on this issue. Also want to shout-out Trooper 924 for bringing this issue to the forefront.
There is a shocking amount of plagiarism in Doctor Who’s recap pages, specifically the trivia pages. Most of it’s been taken from either the notes sections of the TARDIS Wiki
, Shannon Sullivan’s website
A Brief History of Time (Travel) or Wikipedia itself. Most of this stems from one account (William Shakesman) and its sock-puppets, affecting episodes
made with William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertweefrom every era up to Jodie Whittaker. Any episodes or serials not mentioned had no plagiarism.So far, steady progress is being made rewriting and having entries deleted, but there’s more work to be done.
EDIT: I’ve discovered some of the edits were in actuality because the TARDIS Wiki copied from TV Tropes in the years between edits. I’ll keep that in mind for future edits.
EDIT: As of March 29th, this short-term project is finished. All potential plagiarism has been scrubbed or replaced.
