[edit] Copyright Violation listing is wrong

John Beecher should not have been listed as a Wikipedia:Copyright problems#August 13. I admit that the original article from back in March (at [1]) was indeed a copy violation of [[2]]. Unfortunately, I didn't know this when I started editing the article. Despite this lack of knowledge, the article has been expanded and rewriten. Now it only has parts of two sentences which are the same as the original source (a problem which can be easily fixed). The article also has a good deal of info not in the original link. Any similarities to the original link are now due to the fact that the article follows the main points of his life. In short, while the article may have originally been a violation, it is no longer one. I don't think we should delete an article merely b/c it started out as a copyright violation.--Alabamaboy 00:10, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I remove my objection. While I still don't think the article as it is now is a cv, I'm willing to let it be deleted so we can start with a blank slate.--Alabamaboy 17:39, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Deleted, then, and thanks. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 04:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
