Talk:Dexter Lehtinen

Copyright Violation
Callelinea, I noticed that several sentences in this article were taken directly from the Time magazine source : "The paper reported on a deposition from his former wife, who swore that before their 1982 separation he hurled a television set across a room, bashed through doors and shoved her around. The Herald also said Lehtinen sprained the arm of his girlfriend, former legislative aide Dolores Zell, by pushing her to the floor." You need to be careful when taking material from an online source to rewrite in your own words, summarize, integrate, or synthesize the material from several sources. It is not acceptable to copy and paste sentences, as that constitutes a copyright violation, which is taken very seriously on Wikipedia. Please replace that section of the article and any other that may be copyvios ASAP. Thanks, Jfire (talk) 08:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Would this satisfy the copywrite vio? Other problems brought up in his confirmation ordeal were according to the Time Magazine article "...The Miami Herald articles revealing details of Lehtinen's personal life. The paper reported on a deposition from his former wife, who swore that before their 1982 separation he hurled a television set across a room, bashed through doors and shoved her around. The Herald also said Lehtinen sprained the arm of his girlfriend, former legislative aide Dolores Zell, by pushing her to the floor". Callelinea (talk) 08:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's still questionable, and it reads very awkwardly to quote it like that. You have numerous citations for that section; what you should do is summarize in your own words what they say, rather than quote one of them but cite all of them. Jfire (talk) 08:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Reworded, hope its ok now. Thanks Callelinea (talk) 08:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
