It's still a blatant rip off of a .org site that has no evidence that it is in the public domian. I apologize for removing the hangon, because at the time it was not tagged. Then I realized why it was in my watchlist (I think TW watchlists all articles tagged), and then checked the logs and realized that I had tagged it before. The text is the same. Please, please, please, c-and-p'ing is bad. hbdragon88 04:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Second time that this copy and paste has been done. Doesn't look good - LarryFooter, I've reported your editing to WP:AN/I. There is more than enough warning messages that tell you not to copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. - Ta bu shi da yu 05:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I had permission to use modified versions of that content from the author - apologies for not adding the tag - when you the article is unblocked, i will add it back in with the proper content tags ... and doesn't your user page say "Can everyone just clam down?" ... not a bad idea!

Permission is not enough. Will the copyright owner allow the material to be released under the GFDL? If so, tell him/her to send an email to permission at wikimedia dot org. hbdragon88 03:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

When this is all straightened out, we'll need to merge it with Andrew McCarthy (journalist). -- Randy2063 20:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Is it the same person? - Ta bu shi da yu 23:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. He writes for National Review, as that article says, but I don't think he's technically a journalist.

-- Randy2063 00:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

So should we just move the material in Andrew McCarthy (journalist) into Andrew C. McCarthy? Would be easiest. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I just did the move. FWIW: I'm not certain about the claim that he served as a lawyer for Rudy Giuliani, but I haven't read all the sources yet. -- Randy2063 17:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
