Overall: 24.2% plagiarism confidence reported - violation unlikely, mostly in quotes. Please fix the following duplicate links: "invasive" - second para under Weeds section, "sapwood" & "pathogenic" - first and third paras respectively under In buildings section, "locusts" - In mythology, religion, folklore and culture section. Both the hooks are okay, however, I find the ALT1 more interesting. KCVelaga (talk) 21:16, 20 May 2020 (UTC) GTG. KCVelaga (talk) 07:33, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
