Talk:Harold Alden

Copyright?
here (University of Virginia) there is a biography of Alden, and it says

''He received Bachelors of Arts from Wheaton College in 1912, and went on to receive his Master's degree from the University of Chicago in 1913. He served as an assistant in photographic photometry program of the Yerkes Observatory 1912-1914.''.

Here it says

''He received a BA from Wheaton College in 1912, and went on to receive his Master's degree from the University of Chicago in 1913. He served as an assistant in photographic photometry program of the Yerkes Observatory 1912-1914.''.

And so on. Copyright violation?190.21.233.81 (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it appears that way. I flagged the page for investigation. Thanks for the notice. Regards, RJH (talk) 20:07, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to confirm that this was not a backwardscopy. On the very day the content was placed, it was edited to remove this line: "Fellow astronomers attributed much of the Yale Observatory's success in this period to Alden's diligent leadership and dedication to accurate observation." They would have had a very narrow window in which to copy from us. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:28, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
