This article was previously promoted to Good Article after a long and thorough GA review process, but has since been delisted because a single editor believes that it is full of "a large amount of textual plagiarism", and for several complicated reasons there was no real effort to contest this statement. I am now attempting to get the article promoted back to GA, but the editor behind the delisting has made it clear that they will obstruct attempts to do so without addressing their concerns. They have also refused to help identify the problem in a way that could be directly addressed, and the copyvio tool is not picking up any violations, so I am hoping that other editors will be able to help identify these plagiarism issues in the article so they can be rectified. Any other insights that could help with improving the article and getting it promoted again are also welcome. Thanks guys, adamstom97 (talk) 07:49, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97: Please retract the above personal attack that is clearly directed at me (a single editor believes that it is full of "a large amount of textual plagiarism") and do not attempt to deceive your peers with such misleading statements.

Multiple editors recognized the plagiarism (in fact it's only you and two others -- essentially the three editors primarily responsible for the plagiarism in the first place -- who continue to deny it), and that wasn't even the only issue. There was also the lack of stability, edit-warring, POV-pushing ... And in fact the presentation of copy-pasted text as Wikipedia's own words may have been the worst of it (and thus what has been focused on thus far), but WP:QUOTEFARM it is also a form of plagiarism for virtually the entire article body to consist of quotes, with almost no meaningful content written in Wikipedians' own words.

It might also be worth noting that Adam admitted elsewhere that his requesting this peer review was a deliberately uncollegial effort to continue to avoid engaging in civil discussion with me over the issues I have voiced over this and similar articles above and elsewhere. This is in-line with his previous refusal to even attempt to work with me to achieve a compromise.[1][2] I would therefore urge any uninvolved editor to speedy close this discussion as a tendentious attempt to get around normal dispute resolution procedures and undermine the previous consensus to demote per the clearly outlined issues with the article by canvassing editors with a lie that those issues were not outlined.

Adam, if you are not going to strike your own off-topic personal remarks about me, you have no right to collapse my requesting that you do so by claiming that said request is "off-topic". And even if you do strike said remarks, you should not collapse perfectly on-topic comments to the effect that you yourself admitted elsewhere that you opened this peer review request in a deliberate attempt to avoid standard discussion.

@Adamstom.97: I'll take a look. Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 19:38, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

• "...but his sovereignty is challenged by an adversary..." Worth mentioning Kilmonger at this point.
• "Boseman worked with the same dialect coach..." Does the article cited mention why Boseman needed a dialect coach? Otherwise it doesn't make sense to include.
• During the 'Cast' section, the article seems to rely too heavily on what the actors say about their character, not the characters themselves.
• "By May 2015, Marvel had discussions with Ava DuVernay to direct this film or Captain Marvel (2019)". Wording is unclear.
• "T'Chaka" Is this definitely spelt correctly?
• "Pixstone Images" is a red link.
• "When the hashtag #BlackPanther is used on Twitter a custom emoji appears." This can probably be removed.

That's all I've got to say. Well done thus far! Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 20:03, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the input Thatoneweirdwikier, it is much appreciated. I have made some updates based on your suggestions. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:57, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
