Deleted, restored[edit]

This article has been restored, after being deleted for apparent copyright violation. The issue was that in two different sites, material from the article was used verbatim, not doing a good job saying that it came from Wikipedia. The sites were: <https://web.archive.org/web/20170212015106/https://acousticmusic.org/research/guitar-information/guitars-stringed-instruments-general-information/> and <https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/114005-Who-was-the-first-American-mandolin-manufacturer/page3>. The acousticmusic site in particular, having blended the content into a larger article, appeared as original source material; however the mandolin content came from Wikipedia. The Mandolin Cafe conversation centered (at that point) on the content of the Wikipedia article, and quoted from it; it was clear once one read the conversation, but could have been made more clear when the post was made.Jacqke (talk) 13:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
