The duplicate text still makes claims that don't agree with how the system works and what the rest of the message says.
We are supposed to mark two questions as duplicate because they are indeed asking the same thing, and one of the messages explicitly says so "[this] question has been asked before", but then the message muddies the waters by saying that they are "related". While technically true that two questions asking the same thing are "related", the meaning of "duplicates" is more narrow, since it means "these two questions are asking the same thing, so any answer would apply to one or the other".
Please, modify the text to make sure this is what it does:
