Talk:Augustus Sabin Chase

Copyright 'infringement"[edit]

Biographical material is in part rewritten and expanded from Joseph Anderson, ed. The Town and City of Waterbury Connecticut : from the aboriginal period to the year eighteen hundred and ninety-five (New Haven: Price & Lee, 1896) pp308ff. This 120 year-old published source is duly credited in a footnote. The on-line excerpt is merely scanned from the same 1896 source.--Wetman (talk) 21:01, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The bot only knows that it found matching text on another site, so no worries here. Crow^Caw 22:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The brackets in the first mention[edit]

Is there any particular reason for the single square-brackets in the first sentence of the article, partially separating the subject's name? I've boldly removed them, but wanted to make sure there was no significance I was missing as well. --Cheers! Elfabet (talk) 19:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is that he was commonly known as A. Sabin Chase during his lifetime and that is why the brackets were there in the article. I agree that they make it confusing.--FeanorStar7 12:46, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, FeanorStar7, for that insight. If you have a source for that, would you mind adding it after their name, in parenthesis, per WP:MOS/names?

I don't have a source, unfortunately.--FeanorStar7 00:37, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
