This article has been largely excised from Wikipedia on the grounds of copyright violation, and I, as a substantial author, held responsible. This comes as a surprise, as I consider myself diligent in not copying other people, and take great pleasure in falsifying — in the Popperian sense — sources, ADB in particular. So I did a little tracking through the article's history, looking for two phrases which are patently those of the ADB contributor: entered the life of an artist and enabled him to marry May Millman. I find neither was in the article I moved out of userspace on 30 November 2009 and both were present 1 February 2010 before my next edit. I don't expect an apology, as admins have enough to do without going into that sort of mining, and I don't even know if those lacunae are the only problems, but I feel entitled to a private sigh of relief — mea non culpa.

Rewritten from the ground up, with nothing from ADB except certain facts not mentioned elsewhere, and referenced. Doug butler (talk) 08:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
