"Catastrophic" edits

via email: AutoNation (The Company) and Chairman Mike Jackson through the Offices of Corporate Communications would like to know why you made such "Catastrophic" edits of Mr. Jackson's Wikipedia biography? User:Tramel33166/Marc Cannon Dec 12/12/13 3:39 PM

As stated on the edit, "Remove text copied verbatim from the Personal section on Mike Jackson's Facebook page". Wikipedia does not permit editors to plagiarize a published source for inclusion into a Wikipedia article unless the editor was the original author of the published source and there is no conflict of interest. More information on Wikipedia's policies is provided in the following articles:

If you think that I was incorrect in my assessment of this situation, I will request that an administrator review my actions and determine a proper resolution. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 21:51, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.

I've read your reply to our inquiry...and understand the copy-write points presented. They are correct. But as you stated; the case of the single editor for both; this is inplay here. There is an additional "twist". AutoNation's Office of Corporate Communications has hired "agents for hire" for both Mike Jackson's Facebook page and his Wikipedia page, so the original is the same content which came from the same owner. Mr. Jackson and the Office of Corporate Communication provided the information for both. So, of course, they would match. But, after I reviewed the original content, I did find that it did not meet Wikipedia "standards" regardless and I alerted the office of such.

The "office" has directed me to change the Wikipedia page to reflect the same information but not in the same format as the original Wikipedia page or the Facebook page so it may "stand on its own merits". Hopefully this will resolve the copy-write issue. ..... Your experience is valuable here and we look forward to improve Mr. Jackson's Wikipedia article.
