Text copied verbatim

[edit]

The text of § History appears to come verbatim - with references! - from three Queensland Government webpages:

  • Two of those, which appear at the beginning of the section, virtually duplicate each other[1][2].
  • The other constitutes all the material under the subheading "European contact"[3].

Note, however, that the text is marked as CC-BY, meaning (I believe) that Wikipedia may have license to incorporate it, providing the source is acknowledged.

Ideally, Wikipedia would paraphrase all this text, no matter how well written or referenced, rather than lifting it wholesale. I also think that the history would be more easily referenced if it were organised under further subheadings, dealing with the themes of pastoralism, mining, missions, reserves - and possibly paternalism, or other aspects of government policy. yoyo (talk) 07:24, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
