Talk:Brown Lady of Raynham Hall

Copying

 * I have restarted the article on the temporary sub page here Jack1956 (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. I appreciate the work on the rewrite, but I'm afraid that not all of the problematic content was identified. In the first edit, for example, this content was included:

This source says:


 * Some of this content, which follows quite closely, has been retained, including the nearly verbatim sentence "This sighting resulted in several members of staff resigning and a full investigation of Raynham Hall by local detectives."
 * Too, the rewrite retains considerable structure from . While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, I believe the article needs additional rewriting. The essay Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". I'll ask another copyright worker to take a look just to make sure that we agree about the ongoing issues. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The analysis by Moonriddengirl is endorsed, I will relist the entry for another 7 days for tweaking. MLauba (Talk) 13:18, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I see that. I over-looked that information. I will rewrite it. Sorry. Jack1956 (talk) 23:00, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I've reviewed the latest rewrite and I feel it still follows too closely to the source. The paragraph about Captain Marryat bothers me some, although I'm having trouble pinpointing the most problematic areas. The presence of other accounts which don't strike me as similar here and here leads me to believe that it could be improved and further separated from the source. More worrisome, however, are the following paragraphs. For example, the article says:

I've bolded the words which are identical to the source, which says:

This is just one instance; the entire end of the article still follows the source very closely. I'm relisting the article for another 7 days. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Statue of Virgin Mary?
Hasn't this been put forward as an opinion on what the photo subject actually is? I cannot be the only one who's read this. --98.246.156.76 (talk) 01:41, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
