 * Ellen Coolidge Burke ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.alexandria.lib.va.us/client/en_US/home/;jsessionid=5C97D2DCF7CD56A7481A528B12516A7C.enterprise-23800?rm=ELLEN+COOLIDGE1%7C%7C%7C1%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7Ctrue&ic=true&dt=list. I may be way off here, but in my view the amount of copy-pasting from the source into the initial version of this page is unacceptable. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:04, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Earwig's tool gives 27% "unlikely" even to that version.  The phrases re-used contain standard clinches "until her retirement" or obvious ways to express ideas "as a cataloger and reference librarian"  or related to proper names "Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.".  These have already been removed to placate the bot - Earwig's now reads 1% identifying only the phrase "the League of Women Voters" in common.
 * If the Alexandria Library wish to sue me on the basis of either version, which is an almost vanishing likelihood, I wish them luck. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:27, 11 December 2015 (UTC).


 * I have requested G7 deletion and will replace with the re-written version. Generally we don't worry about this sort of stuff in history. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC).


 * Er, actually yes we do worry about it, . You copied several chunks of text word-for-word from the source instead of writing new text in your own words. Why? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It is futile to worry about reproducing short phrases of no significant creative value.


 * Please don't derail a discussion about copyright into one about motivation.
