Copy paste

I believe the article started by Philafrenzy was copy pasted from our article The Asiatic Society. This sort of thing needs attribution. However the situation here is a little more tricky because the page history from where it was copied itself contains copyright violation inserted by B. Mandal.

You are correct, I forgot to say where I got it from in the edit summary, which I should have done. As for copyright violations, as far as I know there is no copyright in a simple list of names, so the only thing that we should be concerned about in this list is factual accuracy. Do you doubt the accuracy of the information? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:34, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No the information here is Okay. Actually you deserve a thank you for taking the initiative to create this article. I merely wanted to note the problem-history (copyright violation and the like) of The Asiatic Society. I will try to link some unlinked/redlinked names on this page soon.

I often move long lists out of articles for readability reasons. You have reminded me that this one exists. I will see if there are any I can create. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:24, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
