Copyvio[edit]

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Unless I am mistaken, a significant bulk of the (overly flowery) text in this article is verbatim replicated from longfordtourism.ie. Unless it can be reworded to address WP:COPYVIO or WP:CLOP concerns, it will need to be significantly culled. It may need that anyway - for issues relative to WP:NOTGUIDEBOOK and WP:NPOV.

Resolved - OK. I have undertaken a significant summarisation and reword of the content. Reducing the CLOP concern from a problematic 75%, to a just about passable 34%. While more work could be done, the core copyvio issues appear to be addressed. Guliolopez (talk) 19:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Calvert[edit]

George Calvert did not found the city of Baltimore...he more or less conceived of the colony of Maryland as a Catholic sanctuary in America and as a business venture but he never went there..his eldest son Cecil may have been the one to put up the money but it was his 2nd eldest son Leonard who led the expedition to the new world and became the 1st governor of Maryland...however the city of Baltimore which is much further to the north of the original colony was not founded or even in anyway settled until long after their deaths 2600:1702:2340:9470:9CAE:A2B9:9362:D8CC (talk) 03:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have updated the text to reflect what the sources can apparently support. (As noted, "founder of Baltimore" [when city didn't exist for ~100 years after his death] and "governor of Maryland" [when province also didn't exist til after his death] are questionable claims. At best. And neither claim is made by the George Calvert article.) Guliolopez (talk) 09:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
