Close paraphrase edit
The article is entirely paraphrased from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, at http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/51992. For example, the two sentences
- In 1843 he defeated almost single-handed a move to impose a requirement that all schoolteachers under the Bedford Charity should be Anglicans. His newspaper letters on this affair were reprinted in a pamphlet Bedford Charity not Sectarian.
have become
- In 1843 he defeated an attempt to impose a requirement that all schoolmasters at Harpur Trust schools should be practising Anglicans. His newspaper letters written during this period were reprinted in an 1844 pamphlet entitled Bedford Charity not Sectarian.
It's all like that. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and Wikipedia:Plagiarism. The original text is copyright, and the article should be written to avoid copyright violation. Charles Matthews (talk) 17:20, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
