I've been seeing a rise in in-article copyvios. Last night I got one
in [[Content managment system]]. I know that only some paragrahs have
these copyvios, and not entire articles, so complete rewirtes aren't
necessary. Thus, I'm attempting to write a script that
(a) opens tabs with "Special:Random" on them
(b) select the first setence from each paragraph (line break)
(c) Google the sentence
(d) If there are any exact matches not from en.wikipedia.org, put up a
little message for me to check and remove the copyvio.
(e) repeat.

Problem is, all I know is Applescript. If any of you Perl or
pywikipedia or AWB-types have another way of writing this, can someone
write it so the general community can use it to remove copyvios? (or
is this possible with AWB?)
