Can you provide a link to a public-domain source? Just asserting that it is PD is not enough. The text is displayed at http://www.moaablogs.org/healthcare/about-health-care-happenings/bio-radm-karen-flaherty-senior-health-care-executive/ marked "Copyright © 2010 All Rights Reserved."

The public domain source is http://www.navy.mil/navydata/bios/bio.asp?bioID=112. http://www.moaablogs.org/healthcare/about-health-care-happenings/bio-radm-karen-flaherty-senior-health-care-executive/ includes some sections lifted verbatim from the public domain source but other sections are original prose and copyrighted. However it is naughty of them to claim copyright of the PD sections. Exxolon (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the PD source from which MOAA blog may have been constructed was http://www.med.navy.mil/leadership/Pages/dsg.aspx .

The source of the words for the page Karen Flaherty came from this (http://www.med.navy.mil/leadership/Pages/dsg.aspx) source, not from MOAA. 138.162.0.42 (talk) 20:42, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks - my apologies, I should have seen the link in the references at the bottom of the article. JohnCD (talk) 20:54, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Great! Now that it is clear that I have not committed a copyright violation, is there any chance that you could remove, revise, or retract the copyvio assertions on my talk page?Mhjohns (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

You don't need to worry - the warnings are hedged with "It is possible that the bot is confused " and "appears to be a direct copy"; but I have placed a note on your talk page making it clear that you committed no violation. JohnCD (talk) 22:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
