Copyright Investigations (Manual article tagging)
[edit]
  • Considerable portions of text in the history section seem to be drawn from [3]. For example, the article says, "By 1931 Atkinson had copyrighted a braille/inkprint calendar. In 1938 Braille Institute published the first Merriam-Webster dictionary in braille. The 32-volume dictionary included, for the first time, a braille code for pronunciation." The source says, "By 1931 he had copyrighted a braille/inkprint calendar. In 1938 Braille Institute published the first Merriam Webster dictionary in braille in 32 volumes, including for the first time a braille code for pronunciation." Permission has been asserted for this, but not verified. Please see WP:DCM for the process. For other material, I believe the article needs to be thoroughly checked or revised. For instance, my automated detector- which tends only to pick up larger runs of text-picked up the following: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. I don't see any assertion of permission for this. The website bears a copyright notice. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
