Ebenezer Locke

"Ebenezer Locke (1735–1816), suggested by his cousin to have fired the first shot by an American at the Battle of Lexington; buried in Deering." [Reference given in article: David Filipov, "Minuteman reenactor's forebear may have started the battle". The Boston Globe, April 19, 2010.]

I don't think hearsay counts for Wikipedia:Notability (people). He's not even individually mentioned by in the Battles of Lexington and Concord article, written by editors who would know the subject best. This is a listing that most definitely should clear review of having its own biography page before being listed here. Dkriegls (talk) 05:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Town history

I removed the "Details" section of the town history from the article. It matches, nearly word for word, the town history at the Deering website. Based on the username of the editor who added the text, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual author of the piece added it to the article here, for which I thank him for the offering of the work. Still, as I understand it, the article here cannot simply be a direct paste (or slight rewrite in places) of the original document; the history here needs to be in its own words. I'm looking through WP:Copy-paste for guidance, and it looks like there may be a case where an author can explicitly donate his/her work to the encyclopedia (which has not been done here), but even if that is so, I've never seen it done for an entire document.
