Parts of Michael Gove’s levelling-up plan ‘copied from Wikipedia’Opposition parties say document appeared ‘cobbled together in a rush’ Michael Gove's ‘levelling-up’ plan is facing mockery after it emerged that parts of it appeared to have been copied from Wikipedia.The white paper, released on Wednesday, also contains glaring publishing errors – with entire paragraphs repeated wholesale.Opposition parties said the document looked like it had been "cobbled together in a rush" and "recycled" from the internet and other government announcements.The white paper includes large sections of padding, with three pages devoted to the history of Jericho, Rome, and renaissance Europe.But bits of this section appear to have been lifted directly from the popular internet encyclopaedia.One off-beat part of the report reads: "Constantinople was the capital of the Roman/Byzantine Empire (330-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261) and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922)".The text is identical to the first line of the Wikipedia page for Constantinople, right down to formatting and punctuation.Another section of the report includes a full-page timeline of the largest cities in the world since 7,000 BC which is identical to a table on Wikipedia's "List of largest cities throughout history" page.Elsewhere, a paragraph about the history of the ancient city of Jerico is repeated twice on the same page – apparently not caught by proof-readers.In terms of policy substance, eight of the document's 12 "missions" are also the same as those included in Theresa May's industrial strategy, which was released four years ago and then scrapped by the government.
