Is this a problem? RhinoMind (talk) 22:46, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yes, half of the article is a direct quote and not attributed as such.. no "". WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:CITE. Articles should be written in your own words. Jbh ^Talk 23:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article is brand new, and it should be no problem to reword a few lines, instead of complaining here. When a text is copied from a public, non-commercial source, I cannot see it is such a big problem really, but I guess someone had to point it out explicitly perhaps. Anyway I have worked a bit on the article now, putting in new information and some useful links. PS. I didn't start the article and take no responsibility for its initial state. I was just curious when I asked my question above that is all. RhinoMind (talk) 00:04, 15 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

I see you are doing some good work. The note here was to explain the 'Copyright' tag I placed when I reviewed it. Unless the text is public domain it matters quite a bit - even then its status needs to be noted.

If you do not end up rewording those sections in your improvements I work on them sometime in the next couple of days. Cheers. Jbh ^Talk 00:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
