The page Draft:Maurine Beasley has been flagged for potential copywrite infringement. I wrote the majority of the page. The source of the 'copyrighted' material is Prof Beasley's personal page on her university website. This was a highly cited source for this page, however information was re-written in my own words. A lot of institutions, societies, books and awards are used verbatim but their names cannot be re-written as they are exact. The copyvio report suggests that copywrite infringement is unlikely: https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Draft:Maurine_Beasley&url=https://merrill.umd.edu/about-merrill/staff-faculty/maurene-beasley/
I hope that this issue is resolved soon so that an eminent journalism historian can be included in the encyclopedia.
