Copyright and reference issues[edit]

The presence of over twenty irrelevant reference numbers in square brackets suggests this article may have been partly constructed by cut/paste from other sources which could be copyright. Will editors who have made a major contribution (especially @JennyFlemington: and @Eoinho:) please address this issue. Any editor who has worked in a university library should be particularly aware of Wikipedia's deprecation of copyright violation. Of course, this may be an innocent hangover from the use of personal links during the sandbox drafting stage, but they do still need to be cleaned up. Many thanks.

I do not know where these square bracketed references came from, I am pretty sure it is not my doing. From memory my starting the article as part of an Editathon consisted only of three or four sentences. I will look into this. Eoinho (talk) 21:25, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just checked, my last edit of 1st November 2016 had none of these square brackets. They may have been introduced by @Narky_Blert ? The large body of text added at that point - which does appear to have square brackets references - looks familiar from some of the earlier references I cited.. Possibly the text has been mistakenly lifted line for line from one of those. Eoinho (talk) 21:33, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
