Copyright problem resolved
Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.indiana.edu/~wanthro/biographies-a-selection-of-biographies-of-influential-anthropologists/barbara-meyerhoff. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've looked for, but regret that I have failed to find, an email from Ms. Shubovitz, and have therefore gone ahead and removed the copied content. If permission does come through it may be possible to restore parts of it, but would (in my opinion) almost certainly be preferable to write new text in encyclopaedic style, complete with proper inline references.

 * OTRS confirmation for the use of the content has now been received (see above), and I've altered the header of this section accordingly. In my personal opinion, the content at that site is not suitable for an encyclopaedia, and should be used only as a source for biographical facts; but that's just my opinion.

 * It is a scandal, I had the agreement to take over the article of a researcher who greatly enriched the biography of Barbara. I spent several hours to do and you had merely all rollbacked :(
