Talk:Lawrence Weiskrantz

Deleted content
added some quotations to this article. They triggered a copyright violation tool, as quotations should, and removed them. I added the content back, and deleted it because "rm blatant copyright violation. even if attributed, having the whole article being a copypaste from elsewhere is a major issue."

This was discussed at Felix's page and my page; discussion should have all been here on this talk page.

I commented to Wizardman about this on his page. I do not feel strongly about this, but I always regret when disputes escalate without conversation. I did not see the problem with the quotations especially with the quoted information being odd dated personal descriptions that would not translate as effectively to re-written text. Perhaps it should be re-written, but it did not seem clear and obvious to me.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  15:38, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The basics of this is outlined at Copying text from other sources. To put it simply we cant have the bulk of an article full of copyrighted material as per Non-free content. I think it could easily be re-writen... nothing here that cant be paraphrase by even a student (I guess I will take the time to do this in the near future - have to read up about the person first)  User:Wizardman already  took the effort to fix it .  All we need is editors to put in a little effort... as any college student would do. As for "escalate without conversation"....the problem is that this has come up more then a few times with this editor....to no avail. No copy and pasting...write things out in your own words... save lots of trouble for others. -- Moxy (talk) 18:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
