Hi Doncram, I'm concerned about the amount of directly quoted text taken from what I believe is still a copyrighted source. Three sizable sentences in a stub article does not sit well with me. I've still moved it to the mainspace because I don't believe it to be an outright copyright violation – and even if it was, a CV is CV in any Wikipedia namespace.

Hi, thanks for caring. There is a misconception sometime that the length of the Wikipedia article relative to a quote length matters, which is not true. It could matter the other way, that if a very large percentage of a source document is quoted. Here that is not the case. The relevant policy is "Articles and other Wikipedia pages may, in accordance with the guideline, use brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media, properly attributed or cited to its original source or author, and specifically indicated as direct quotations via quotation marks...." These are short quotes. Thanks, again. --doncram 01:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
