Talk:Thomas Leighton Williams

OCR text?
The types of error in this text makes it seem very likely that it's been scanned in and OCR'ed from a pape source. That's a copyright violation, but can't be verified in the usual way by using Google.

I'm putting a prod tag on this as unsourced; if someone knows where it came from, please replace it with a summary and an external reference. --Alvestrand 05:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see no evidence that this is a copyright violation, nor of a proliferation of OCR-type errors. Googling finds no hits apart from Wikipedia. It could be from a source released to the public domain. Espresso Addict 00:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * A few of the errors (tilde substituted for characters, "of" being recognized as "c", last character being dropped from words) were repaired by User:Bathcover. But - almost nobody writes this kind of prose at one sitting; that's the main reason to suspect that it came from some copied source. And even if the source is in the public domain, Wikipedia policy requires that we attribute it properly.
 * BTW, good reference. Now we can cut back the article to what's verifiable from the reference, since we have no way of verifying the rest.. --Alvestrand 14:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
