Copyright problem
[edit]I should perhaps make clear what I think the problem is here. Here is a comparison of the initial version of our article with an Art and Architecture – San Francisco page dated 7 September 2012:

I've bolded the text that is identical. Though most of it has now been rephrased, that is in my view unacceptable copying, and suggests that the rest of the article needs to be checked, and possibly other edits by the same user also. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 02:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Justlettersandnumbers good catch! The initial version clearly had an issue because I accidently started a draft in the main namespace, rather than the draft namespace where I usually work. And I am very sorry for the error. In your opinion, does the most recent version seem to have most of these issues resolved? Jooojay (talk) 06:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
