Bias[edit]

I think many sections of this article are biased, such as the Criticism section which, all but one sentence, is about proving the critics wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muchotreeo (talk • contribs) 14:14, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations[edit]

This article was written in 2013 and since the editor who wrote it has been blocked indefinitely for copyright violations, I thought I'd check and see whether there were any copyvios in this article. There are.

The Slow ageing#Ageing section is lifted almost word-for-word from the Introduction on pages 491-492 of Chapter 15 (Aging) of Molecular Basis of Health and Disease by Undurti N. Das, published in 2011.
Slow ageing#Theories of Ageing is lifted from pages 475-477 of Radical Self-Defense by Anthony Speroni, published in 2012.
The first paragraph of Slow ageing#Maximum Human Mortality comes almost word-for-word from this BBC article from 2012.
The first sentence of Slow ageing#Calorie restriction comes from page 476 of Speroni.
Everything in Slow ageing#Successful ageing starting with "Successful ageing is an interdisciplinary concept" is from this The Hindu article from 2009.
The first sentence in Slow ageing#Therapies comes from this BBC article from 2012.
The second paragraph in Slow ageing#Mental approach comes from this blog post from 2012.
Much of Slow ageing#Personal hygiene comes from page 12 of this thesis published in 2012.
Slow ageing#Sleep and rest appears to have been copied without attribution from the Sleep article.
The first sentence of the second paragraph in Slow ageing#Environment comes from the aforementioned BBC article from 2012.

There might be more; I didn't check everything. So much of it is a coyvio that I think the only solution might be to nuke it. I'm going to explore next steps for this article but I thought I'd post this here anyways. Ca2james (talk) 01:29, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adding: I've tagged the page as a copyright violation and manually added it for investigation. Thank you. Ca2james (talk) 01:37, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch there, Ca2james, and an impressive amount of detail in your analysis! There's a CCI open for this serial copyright violator (see below). Just a thought: there are just under 5000 articles in that CCI; if by any chance you might be interested in looking at some of the others I'd be pleased to give you a hand getting started. Good job here, anyway. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:39, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
