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:

Our article The source
New York City on September 20, 1896, the son of Mary Bradbury and architect John Galen Howard. At six years of age Robert Howard moved to Berkeley, CA with his family. Upon graduating from Berkeley High School, he studied art at the California School of Arts and Crafts (now called California College of the Arts or CCA) under Xavier Martínez. He moved on to study at the University of California and studied under Worth Ryder and Perham Nahi, and with Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League in New York City. Howard was married to highly successful artist Adeline Kent, from Kentfield, California. He died in 1983.

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.

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)[reply]
