Copyright violation?

Ack! The CorenSearchBot flagged this new article for possible use of material from http://knol.google.com/k/peter-palese/-/14p2mu07xc9ro/0. I hadn't seen this website before. Any similarity is unintentional. Please let me know if this article needs fixing. Thank you! Patricia Meadows (talk) 16:46, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the copyright flag as I believe it is in error. If I'm wrong, I will re-write the article to meet WP standards. Patricia Meadows (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While you didn't copy from the knol page it appears that you did follow other biographies very closely, and so I have tagged the article as a copyright problem for that reason. For example, you wrote:

An improvement of this technique has been effectively used by Palese and his colleagues to reconstruct and study the pathogenicity of the highly virulent but extinct 1918 pandemic influenza virus.

Where this source says:

Reverse genetics allowed Dr. Palese and his colleagues to reconstruct and study the pathogenicity of the highly virulent but extinct 1918 pandemic influenza virus.

While writing this I just came across this source which is even closer to your version:

In addition, an improvement of the technique has been effectively used by him and his colleagues to reconstruct and study the pathogenicity of the highly virulent but extinct 1918 pandemic influenza virus.

If you are taking wording from official sources, they need to be explicitly released under a free license via the process described at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If the content has not been released under an acceptable free license then it needs to be written entirely in your own words. Please also note that this is not just about the single sentence above, I only use that as an example: Every part of the article must be freely licensed or written in your own words.

Have a date on his picture

Here is a picture of him from 2016: TWiV 396: Influenza viruses with Peter Palese I'm sure Prof Vincent Racaniello would agree to using that picture. I like the picture we have now but wish we also had an additional picture with a year on it. --Javaweb (talk) 19:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Javaweb[reply]
