Talk:John Caldwell (Michigan representative)

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment
This article is part of Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Noting first version lost in history merges; see this discussion, including COI possibility.  The version of the article at Michigan state representative is the same as that first noted here, with a missing piece in the history.  So the Michael Hardy content is basically all DC content, and the JPxG major contrib is citation repair, so that essentially all of the content here is subject to WP:PDEL per WP:DCGAR, as it was essentially all written by Coldwell.
