[edit ]- Buddhism in the Netherlands (history · last edit · rewrite) from Janssen, R. H. C., "Buddhism in the Netherlands: History and Present Status", in: Buddhism into the Year 2.000. International Conference Proceedings (First International Conference 'Buddhism into the Year 2000', hosted by the Dhammakaaya Foundation, Bangkok (Thailand), February 8, 1990), Bangkok: Dhammakaya Foundation 1995, pp. 151–156.
The entirety of Buddhism in the Netherlands seems to be paraphrased from Janssen's paper, even the structure is the same. How much of the article needs to be amended so that it's no longer a copyvio? There is a lot of information in the article that seems to only be traced back to Janssen's paper. Would this all need to be removed or would citing Janssen's paper in multiple locations suffice?

It can always be recreated without prejudice and pretty much any admin should be willing to give you the sources from the deleted version. Sennecaster (Chat) 16:17, 25 October 2025 (UTC) reply
