Talk:Dorothy Ray Healey

Merge pages

I support merging this page with Dorothy Healey. This page, Dorothy Ray Healey, is somewhat better than the former, and the other page should be brought over into this one, which bears the subject's maiden name, by which she signed her biography, California Red: A Life in the American Communist Party. (ISBN: 0252062787) After that is done, editors can work on eliminating the duplications.

Agreed; please feel free to do it. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Merging Copyrighted Material

Friends: As you do this merge, please be aware of the following sequence of events concerning these pages......

• The original Dorothy Healey page was started in April 2006.
• After her death in August 2006, somebody replicated large swathes of material from a copyrighted obituary, without attribution, into a new Dorothy Ray Healey article. (See for example [1].)
• That person then left a message ordering that the original material be merged with the new plagerized piece.
• The merge is now proceeding in this manner primarily because no-one was prepared to go through the page renaming process -- see WP:MV.

Some comments:

• We should not be using copyrighted material as the starting point for a new article. That's asking for trouble.
• Information and insights, which are derived from obituaries and elsewhere, should have been worked into the pre-existing piece, with attributions as appropriate.
• The original Dorothy Healey article is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography. We cannot put that designation on the new Dorothy Ray Healey piece, because of the copyright violation.
• If desired, the merged article could be renamed (although I don't see why that's actually necessary, since redirect will handle the matter adeqately).
