The merge of 23 September 2009 introduced a large-scale copyright violation from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (unfortunately the mergefrom is not explicitly given). The two middle paras of "Military career", at the least, are straight copies from the ODNB. The article can be reconstructed by going back, and adding back in the infobox and extra succession boxes. I can make the old DNB article available at Wikisource in due course, for a public domain version with which to expand. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:29, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree the existing article should be deleted - I have started preparing a new article from alternative sources at Sir William Houstoun, 1st Baronet/Temp. Admin: Please delete existing article with copyright violation and insert new one. Dormskirk (talk) 22:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
