Possible copyright violation[edit]

Some recently added text seems to be taken verbatim from internet site [1]. This same text was also part of the Ann Bidwell article, which I have since reworded and expanded. -- LiniShu 06:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in John Bidwell[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of John Bidwell's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. I think I have it fixed. Downstrike (talk) 04:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
