Copyright investigations (manual article tagging)[edit]
  • Copyright concerns remain. The problems stem back to the very article creation, which reproduces verbatim a press release you can also see here. Nothing to salvage, best to start over from a clean slate. --MLauba (talk) 11:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • While a contributor attempted to clean this, I believe that it remains an unusably close paraphrase: [2]. Compare, for example, the new text:

American funds to the Russian government were immediately cut off in response to the Russian Revoultion and the US extended its maritime blockade of Germany to include Soviet Russia. In January through April of 1918 the British and French governments briefly considered the idea of helping the Bolsheviks to fight the Germans to the discomfort of anti-Bolsheviks in Washington. Lansing and President Wilson were adamantly opposed to this idea.

With the source:

American funds to the Russian government were immediately cut off, and the maritime blockade of Germany extended to Soviet Russia. When in January-April 1918 the British and French governments briefly considered the pragmatic idea of helping the Bolsheviks to fight the Germans, the anti-Bolsheviks in Washington were disquieted. Lansing and Wilson were adamantly opposed.

I wait further opinion. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seconded per way too close, unauthorized derivative and yadda-yadda. Can't use the rewrite, sorry. MLauba (talk) 13:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rephrased, I'll let you have the last word :) MLauba (talk) 13:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickY Thanks. :) I've already addressed the contributor for putting text from the same source into a different article (the one just below). I left a note at that talk page. I'll speak to the tagger/paraphraser at his or her talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
