 * Copyvio template has been reverted, discussion exists here.
 * I've never seen that template. It confused me mightily for a moment. :) There is good evidence of a backwards copy here. In addition to the detail noted on this talk page, there are signs of natural evolution of the content here. For example, the information on "former television columnist James Walling" was in the article as of March 2007. It expanded in early April and on 29 April was edited specifically to say "former Vanguard columnist", language replicated in that external site. In November 2008 another paragraph was added that is also in use at the external site. Diminishing the likelihood of copying, it included typos that are not in the external site which were later corrected on Wikipedia (most tellingly, for these purposes, this one). It seems to have been copied from Wikipedia at some point between those edits and this one, which is the first I find that is not reflected in the external source. While it's always a good idea to investigate copyright concerns where duplication is found, in this case we're pretty much in the clear. I'll tag the talk page accordingly. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
