Copyright problems
This article was created with indication that it was copied from the public domain DNB. Evaluation following from contributor copyright investigation (see investigation subpages) suggests it was in fact copied from later, copyrighted versions of that work. Consider the following example. At its creation, the article said:

The recent ODNB says:

The older version of the DNB, which is public domain, at pages 235-236 here, bears resemblance to this text, but significantly differs:

This is but one passage. Alterations to the text exist throughout the modern ODNB. While ODNB cannot impose copyright over older versions, they can and do copyright the creative revisions to that text.

Unless this material can be verified to be public domain, the article will need to be rewritten, replaced with the PD material, or deleted. It will be revisited after a week to see what further steps may be appropriate. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
