I believe the bot is in error.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Arispool (talk • contribs)

@Arispool and Peaceray: Hello and thanks for the article. While not a direct copy of the indicated source, the bot is correct in that there is substantial material copied from the source. Some of the intervening verbiage is different, but the general flow of the article makes this a case of close paraphrasing bordering on a copyright problem.

See [1] for the detailed bot report showing this article and the source side-by-side. Please reword in your own words to clear these issues. As I mentioned, just changing a few words to lower the percentage while keeping the same flow, and covering the same selected events in the same order doesn't really address the problem.

Feel free to ask any questions here, as I know the policies can be confusing. Thanks, Crow^Caw 16:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given the extent of the copying in the initial version of this page (over 82% overlap according to Earwig's tool), I saw no alternative to wholesale excision of the infringing text. As the search-bot notice ungrammatically tells us, " … simply modified or rephrased text is still an infringement—to remove the copyrighted contents you will need to completely remove them and then write totally new text to replace it". The content can be re-added to the page, but must be expressed entirely in original language. Sorry! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem removed[edit]

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf029000tj/entire_text/. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
