Copyvio/close paraphrasing check before publishing

Current arrangement does not warn the user of the possibility of copyright infringement or Wikipedia standards of close paraphrasing problems until after the fact, which is embarrassing at best, and at worst has cost us a lot of potentially good contributors who are not used to the over the top requirements on Wikipedia. We need a way to specify a source and check if an edit is compliant before saving. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:10, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

@Pbsouthwood:   In perplexity.ai, type this: "free plagiarism checker that catches paraphrasing as well". When I typed that in, it listed several. Are those what you had in mind?    — The Transhumanist   16:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Not really, those require that you manually upload your new content to an outside agent for the check. I would like it to be done automatically through the Wikipedia editor by clicking on an option from within the editor, ideally the option of setting it as a default, but I would guess that would be computationally heavy.

Additional useful option would be to specify source(s), which should reduce computational load by orders of magnitude. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 07:30, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Green redirects

Green redirects are helpful, yes, but with User:Anomie/linkclassifier you also get red borders on non-free images, yellow shading on links to disambiguation pages, and pink colouring of links to pages tagged for deletion. I recommend it! -- John of Reading (talk) 17:52, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
