Talk:Harry Rountree

Plagiarism

(import from the stub paragraph two)

Harry Rountree was determined to make his mark on the then-flourishing magazine and book market. For two years he struggled, studied and sold the occasional drawing. However, when the editor of Little Folks magazine gave him a commission to illustrate a story with an animal, he found his feet and suddenly he became quite successful. By 1903 he was illustrating books for the editor of Little Folks, writing and illustrating his own books, and in demand by nearly every publisher in London.

That was more than half of the original stub created by User:jstuartfrancis 26-27 May 2008 (who has no other contributions to en.wikipedia). Evidently it is WP:PLAGIARISM from:
[JVJ] "Harry Rountree". Illustrators. JVJ Publishing. (c) Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. 1998. (revised 2002, 2011).

(quote from JVJ paragraph two)

Harry came to London from New Zealand in 1901. He was 23 years old and determined to make his mark on the then-flourishing magazine and book market. He didn't. For two years he struggled, studied and sold the occasional spot drawing. It wasn't until the editor of Little Folks magazine gave him a commission to illustrate a story with an animal that he found his calling. Suddenly he could do no wrong. By 1903 he was illustrating books for the editor of Little Folks, writing and illustrating his own books, and in demand by nearly every publisher in London.
