Copyvio issue[edit]
When created, this article triggered a 12-word warning at Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations. The original 12-word paragraph was found at www.teach12.com/store/professor.asp?id=256
However, it is questionable whether such a small and very common paragraph (considering the total length of the article, and its wording) can be considered copyvio. I have left a note in the creator's talk page, as he is the only one able to confirm this. In any case, I don't think this qualifies as copyvio (I searched for "bill gates is the owner of microsoft." and found one match, would that mean that phrase is already copyrighted to that blog poster?). So, I am delisting it from WP:SCV, leaving a note here for future reference. -- ReyBrujo 22:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that this isn't a copyright issue. The title "Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Literature" is indeed the name of a position at Harvard University. Undoubtedly, the similar phrase, "George Bush is the president of the United States" would not be considered an infringement on copyright. Longouyang 15:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Regardless of the copyvio status, teach12.com is a retail sales website and is not really appropriate as a reference under WP:EL. I have replaced with a cite to the Harvard Gazette and tweaked the intro. -- Satori Son 16:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
