For the record: the section "Historic review" was copy-pasted from Dutch India#History. The section "Modern Era Relations" was copy-pasted from a Dutch gov't website, as allowed by its CC0 license. Both need cleanup. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:47, 1 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

A large amount of content was copied and pasted into this article from other websites and documents without permission, right from when the article was created. The following are some of the sources that were used:

The content was added by RaNK001, 117.197.240.124 and IoS777 in 2014, 2015 and 2017, respectively. LibStar discovered some of the unlicensed content in 2015 and deleted it. One of the sources, the Dutch government web page, has since gone offline.

I have add a {{copyvio-revdel}} tag to the page, so that the pages containing the copied-and-pasted content can be deleted. This does represent a huge chunk of the article's history, and deleting which might actually amount to a violation of the CC BY-SA 3.0 licence; I do not know for sure whether this would be the case, but if so, it might be required to delete the whole article and start over. --Joshua Issac (talk) 17:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Qwertyus notes above that the content from the Dutch government website was CC0-licensed. This means that the content is not infringing, so I have removed it from the template. --Joshua Issac (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think it will not be necessary to delete the whole article, per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Reusing deleted material on revision deletions. --Joshua Issac (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
