editNo intentional copying done. Borrowed and revised content with proper attribution provided. Not sure how a bio can be created without stating facts and citing sources.--Pubdog (talk) 02:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- The copying is just about word-for-word. Attribution is important, but the writing has to be wikipedia's own work. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:00, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have revised and hopefully removed your concerns about copyright. Please review.--Pubdog (talk) 02:32, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Much of the sentence and paragraph structures remain the same. For example:
In addition to her current duties as West Virginia’s First Lady, the Governor has appointed her to serve as a member of the State Board of Education and as a Commissioner on the West Virginia Commission for National and Community Service. In addition, the Governor has also appointed her as the Chair of the Governor’s Healthy Lifestyles Coalition, and the West Virginia Citizen’s Council on Children and Families, and as a Co-Chair on the Governor’s 21st Century Jobs Cabinet.
- is reproduced in the article as:
During his term, the Governor appointed her to serve as a member of the State Board of Education and as a Commissioner on the West Virginia Commission for National and Community Service. In addition, the Governor also appointed her as the Chair of the Governor’s Healthy Lifestyles Coalition, chair of the West Virginia Citizen’s Council on Children and Families, and as a Co-Chair on the Governor’s 21st Century Jobs Cabinet.
- I think the material needs to be completely re-written and restructured to avoid close paraphrasing. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:36, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Revised again to delete series of official titles. Hopefully this will address copyright concerns. Not certain how else to address without guidance.--Pubdog (talk) 02:13, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- Cheers - the change to the third paragraph obviously addresses the concerns with that paragraph. I'll have a look at the other two paras within the next day.--Mkativerata (talk) 02:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- Revised again to delete series of official titles. Hopefully this will address copyright concerns. Not certain how else to address without guidance.--Pubdog (talk) 02:13, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Mergeto Joe Manchin
editGayle Conelly is insufficiently notable in her own right and her article should be merged with that of her husband, Joe Manchin. Quis separabit? 17:59, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- The discussion on this question is pending at Talk:Joe Manchin.--TommyBoy (talk) 08:24, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
