Paraphrasing of a source by (perhaps) its author
[edit]I note this article was much improved in recent years. There is significant close paraphrasing with [1], which is listed as a source. I began to fear copyright issues, but I note the similarity arose after significant expansion of this article by User:MartWriter, who has made no other contributions, very soon after the publication of that source, which is authored by a person whose name is very similar. So my Occam's Razor hypothesis is that one individual did admirable research and has edited both this article, and authored that source (with additional sourcing there, btw).
How does Wikipedia deal with this? I haven't asked the user (since I'm not sure what precisely to ask). I see no problem if my hypothesis is correct, and a potential problem if it is not. How best to proceed? Martinp (talk) 12:01, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
