GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is a fascinting story and the article is well written. I have one question:

RootsWeb seems to be a fairly well-known project where folks transcribe information from historical records including, as in this case, excerpts from out-of-copyright works. The original source is Kentucky: A History of the State. I can't verify that the transcription is 100% accurate because, since the original was published in 1885, I don't have access to a copy. There are four facts attributed to this source. I believe all are either relatively trivial or could probably be cited to other sources. They include the subjects that Taylor taught in his early career, the year of his first run for county clerk (and the fact that he lost), the fact that he was an assistant presidential elector for the Greenbacks, and the fact that he won the election for county clerk in 1880.
If any of these seem non-trivial enough to require a more solid source, I'll either try to find one or remove the information from the article. Unfortunately, very little seems to have been written about the man.
I believe the issue was resolved. I was trying to claim fair use, but another editor insists that a public domain claim is in order.
