Talk:Desert pavement

Copy/paste?

This article looks suspiciously like a copy/paste copyvio but haven't managed to confirm that. At the least, it needs to have each paragraph cited and to be properly wikilinked. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:31, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

12 years later, yes it has been blatantly plagiarized. It appears the original source is this 2004 article from the EPA: https://semspub.epa.gov/work/09/2065237.pdf

I can work on fixing it using that source. Max imus1254 (talk) 01:06, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

To add, seems some of also came from this ThoughtCo source, so I'm not really sure of the origin of all the plagiarism. https://www.thoughtco.com/theories-of-desert-pavement-1441193

Anyway, I reworded it to fit the Wells source since that's still a valid source for this article, but I don't have access to the full text, so if anybody else then feel free to expand on it. Seems the other two formation theories also need sources. Max imus1254 (talk) 01:18, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
