Beginning review. I will be adding comments over the next several days. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 13:34, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Extensive potential copyvio found with OMICS International article on Eugene Wigner. The question is whether Wikipedia copied from Omics International, or Omics International copied from Wikipedia. This will require a bit of research Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 13:42, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

The pattern of edits over the years is generally supportive of the duplicated sections having originated through the collective effors of multiple Wikipedia editors, and the extensive duplications to be found on the web (not just the Omics article) represent copying from Wikipedia rather than copying by Wikipedia editors.

• Oral history interview transcript with Eugene Wigner 21 November 1963, American Institute of Physics, Niels Bohr Library & Archives

The following external links do not, in my opinion, provide sufficient added value as to meet the criteria presented in the Wikipedia:External links guidelines page.

• Annotated bibliography for Eugene Wigner from the Alsos Digital Library for Nuclear Issues
• Eugene Wigner Biography
• Nobel Prize Biography

If the above pages include relevant information that is not yet a part of the article, include the information and cite the pages as sources for the article. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 00:06, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
