Hodgepodge

Some of this material is informative, some of it is inaccurate, and all of it needs a merciless proofread.

This article, which I have not written, but I have completed it with 1 link an 1 sentence, gave me long wanted informations about Virginia Hill, I have seeked therefore for some years.

In this article is the name Joseph Epstein linked to a person with the same name, Colonel Epstein , leader of French resistance, who has nothing to do with the Joseph Epstein of this article, it is only the same name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.171.131.245 (talk) 18:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issues

Copyright issues entered this article at least with this edit, which introduced for example the following content:

In 1942, in hopes of getting discovered in Hollywood, Hill moved to California, met up again with Siegel, who by this time had also relocated there with his wife and daughters. They would rekindle their adulterous affair; she would became his most steady mistress. Reputedly they fought as much as they made love, but Siegel did not stop his womanizing. There are rumors that they were secretly married in Mexico but Siegel never divorced his wife Esta. Siegel's nickname for Hill was "the Flamingo," for her skill at fellatio (oral sex).

The source says:

In the 1940s Hill moved to California, met Bugsy Siegel and, in turn, became his most steady mistress. Reputedly they fought as much as they made love, but Siegel did not stop his womanizing. There are rumors that they were secretly married in Mexico but Siegel never divorced his wife Esta. Siegel's nickname for Hill was "the Flamingo," for her skill at fellatio (oral sex).

Direct copy-paste is marked in bold and constitutes the entire end of this passage; the beginning part is closely paraphrased.

I have not checked to see if other sources have been copied. As I come to this from a copyright problems board listing for an article created by this user, it might be a good idea if efforts are made to salvage this material. Otherwise, it may be necessary to revert to this version. before the influx of this content. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
