Copyvio? edit

What part is a copyvio? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjskord (talkcontribs) 04:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

If I had confirmed a copyvio in this article, I would have deleted it already. My "hunch" was related to the writing style and organization of some elements the article, which appeared to be consistent with a corporate public relations document. I have not subsequently identified any source from which this content was copied, so I think my hunch may have been wrong. However, the use of subtitles like "The Founding" and "The 1980s" is still inconsistent with an encyclopedia, and more consistent with a corporation's rah-rah version of its own history. --Orlady (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Careful with your "hunches" and inflammatory tone. This is completely original content, which I personally wrote. It was based on facts, which were all quoted and verifiable. I am a professional writer, rather than a hack, and I call them as I see them. Calling a 2 yr old company "fledgling" or the NYSE as "prestigous" are hardly 'peacock'. As far as subtitles, I prefer quality content than much of the incoherent patchwork on many wiki pages. Other edits were writing style differences - such as the obnoxiously long run-on lead sentence for Allen B. Morgan Jr. Nonetheless, I accepted your edits as another reader's POV. However, accusing someone of a copyvio is a serious charge. If your hunch is based on the content being "too clean" - see how long it took me to write it(based on the history).

I did not make any accusations, but merely noted my concern in an edit summary. As for "peacock" language, I stand by my edit summary comment. In context, calling the NYSE "prestigious" appears to be intended to present this company in a favorable light, and wording like "the bustling young firm was ready for prime-time" is the "rah-rah" language of public relations, not the writing style of an encyclopedia. --Orlady (talk) 21:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
