Copyvio?

[edit]

I've done no research beyond stepping thru the edit history, and finding that:

_ _ Three editors contributed virtually all the prose.
_ _ The originator, single-article editor User:Aries 00, had two sessions, one ending a minute after the initial revision was saved and the other lasting 30 minutes, 6 hours later, and their edits, while inconsistent with cut-and-pasting from a well-proofread digital source, are consistent with either hand- or OCR-transcription from a copyright-protected source; they changed previously-saved wording only in one case: essentially to supplement the first sentence after the article's lead sent (which had begun with his early teachers) by mentioning his place of birth. (This proves very little, even tho most writers probably don't save the first digital draft between polishing structure and catching typos: some may thoroly draft original copy on paper, but make the the first save without catching the typos; IMO it is nevertheless cause for concern.)
_ _ One of them was the single-edit editor User:Weaving.

My gut makes me suspect one or more CopyVios.

"Sources"

[edit]

I not only assume but believe that it was in good faith that {{BLP unsourced}} was removed, when adding "sources", w/o changes to the prose and without linking those sources to specific statements. But no presumption that they document this article is justified, and the template should have been replaced with {{BLP sources}}. Eventually i noticed that one of the "sources" is the source i found for the YoB of the subject (for the page Weaving (surname)), leading me to edit the accompanying article to add that information to it as well. Having already read the piddling info that is available at the external lk, i've added refs for the three or so facts it verifies. When colleagues have, as it were, set side-by-side the article and the other Web pages in question, and clearly indicated via refs which facts they support (implicitly informing readers which remain unsupported), the article will need weighing of the level of detailed refs against the standards of WP:BLP, for consideration of the tag coming off.
