Untitled[edit]

The language was based on eariler biography information which was also used by the White Mountain Art & Artists website. - Language was revised to remove all conflicts.

If the language is based on any prior published material (which it is, as I found verbatim copying in your original version of the article from at least two sources) it either needs to be properly attributed per WP:PLAGIARISM if the source is in the public domain or removed and rewritten entirely per WP:COPYVIO if the source is copyrighted. Your assistance in cleaning up the article would be greatly appreciated. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A number of references have been included at the bottom. Does the text above need to have inline citations in addition to including them as references below? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.223.21.12 (talk) 19:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any references which were directly consulted should be turned into some form of inline citations to indicate which particular content they support wherever possible. There's no reason for them to be duplicated, they should just be changed/moved. As presently organized, it's impossible to tell which material came from which source so it's not easily verified by the reader. Wikipedia:Citing sources demonstrates a variety of different options which can be used. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
