Copyright problems edit

This article is created with a section of the Fons Trompenaars article, see history, and then tagged by MadmanBot as possible copyvio. I noticed a couple of things.

  1. The text in section 1.1 1. is indeed similar to the quote in the http://awatchmansview.wordpress.com/2011/11/21 blog of November 21, 2011.
  2. The text in section 1.1.1. is created here on Wikipedia by User:Arielle87 on 10 July 2011, see here
  3. That blog is written 4 months after the Wikipedia article, so this text is no copyvio of the blog.
  4. However, it seems both text have a similar other source, for example the The Seven Dimensions of Culture - SlideShare from 11 June 2010
  5. I also noticed there are more possible copy-vio problems. For example the text "... sees the individual as "the end" and improvements to communal arrangements as the means to achieve it..." is from Alfons Trompenaars, ‎Charles Hampden-Turner (1998) Riding the waves of culture. p. 59

To be continued. -- Mdd (talk) 11:10, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

For now I removed all (possible) copy-vio material from the article + removed the MadmanBot tag. Text should not be added back before it is firmly checked. -- Mdd (talk) 11:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
