Due to similar content of the sources (see below), and not wishing to breech any copyright, I've removed the content. Whether the content was before or after my publishing of the book this comes from, I cannot say nor will I be able to show in time. As a result, and not wishing this to occur again, I'm discontinuing this series.

Apologies for this, and please don't upvote this post. I will inform the bots I delegate to to remove the upvote as soon as possible.

Update:

According to this tool the page was created in 2016. My book, where this series is from, was first published in 2013, as recorded on Smashwords (see screenshot below) and Goodreads.

Unfortunately, I cannot say for sure whether the page was created in 2016 without access to the domain server. This is the best I can do.

I just want to say that I believe in you. I do not believe in any way that you have plagiarized anything. So I am upvoting this post deliberately--after the cheetah comment and your edits removing the disputed content--to show my support for you.

Sorry Anike I do not understand what was pinged. I am looking at the page that cheetah has in the description below and I am trying to find where it has been "plagiarized". I searched a couple keywords to find something but I could not really come up with anything.

So what is the deal? If you use the words Asgard, Aesir, Valkyrie, Thor and Odin too many times then could that set it off?

First point I want to know this because I have yet to see what you did wrong and second I want to understand what the parameters are for this "flag" of similar content.

Maybe there is simple description that is similar and set the bot off? Isn't this going to happen again on other things that are based on history/science/mythology?

So cheetah probably uses parts of the content and spiders the internet/searches google to see whether there are matches and keeps count of the amount of matches found for every word/keywords. If there are a shitload of matches it would flag, if there are a couple of matches it upvotes and posts a comment with a link that has said matches. It's probably more complex, but that's probably the general baseline.
