Bot error re copyright violation
The bot is in error as copyright violation. Most of the content at the Harvard Farlow Reference Library of Cryptogamic Botany website is taken from the article "William H. Weston (1890-1978); Charles M. Wilson, ; Mycologia 71, no. 6 (1979): 1103-1106", not the other way around. FloraWilde (talk) 11:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, ! You were gracious enough to accept some criticism from me when we last met, but here we are again. I'm puzzled by your remark above. What matters here is not whether the website came from the journal or vice versa, but whether the content of the article you wrote here in Wikipedia came from either one of them, because that would be a copyright violation. And that is what the bot has flagged here. However, I do see that you have made an effort to rearrange and rephrase the text of the original sources, and I think that the result is just on the borderline of being acceptable, and that the bot has been over-cautious (as it is programmed to be). Could I ask you to rewrite the text a bit more, in your own voice? Lower-casing the position titles, writing BA instead of B.A., and other minor conformities with the MOS would also make it look a more typical Wikipedia article.
