Copyright issue

Regarding this edit: I think the link in the notice is wrong and should be this one instead: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-12-15/news/9812150313_1_art-institute-mr-bennett-chicago . As the notice says not to change it, what is the appropriate course of action? Or is it a moot point, as long as the text is amended appropriate? isaacl (talk) 23:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The key part is not which link is being copied - but whether this article does copy exact wording sans proper attribution of such. I do know it caused the plagiarism detector to have a fit <g>. I came here because of philately of all things ... but some of the wording struck me on this and other articles as not natural <sigh>. Collect (talk) 00:45, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to make a note, since when I visited the referenced link and didn't see any overlap with the deleted lead, I was uncertain where the text was apparently copied from. isaacl (talk) 00:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - I believe the cite I gave is a fit for the second section - you might look at that. I really can not believe that this sort of writing is still going on in Wikipedia though. Again - thank you. I think several sources might be involved for sure. Collect (talk) 00:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
