Other stuff

Copy-violation

• 91.6% is WAY too heavy! It seems like your text is very similar to that on camilacabello.wikia.com/wiki/Real_Friends

  Wait, this is really weird. I swear that I haven't copied anything from this alternative Wikipedia, I've written it by myself. I remember the last time I checked this copy-violation it was less than 25%. What now? –UrbanJE (talk) 10:52, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

  Sorry to interrupt, but it could be a mirror website or someone that copy-and-pasted the information from Wikipedia to that site. Aoba47 (talk) 16:42, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

  If you see the edit history on the other wiki (here), a majority of the information was added on February 21, which supports that it was taken from Wikipedia. Aoba47 (talk) 16:45, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

References

• As far as I checked them, the references do cover the assertations made in this article (I can't verify the books, so I trust you with this!)
• Avoid SHOUTING in ref no.1

 Fixed
