Duplicating from article's talk:

This article was tagged as a potential infringement of [1] on December 14, 2009. The contents of the page show clear duplication, but I cannot determine which page had the content first. The myspace page archives are considerably older than the February 2008 origin of this material, but the only archived version of the page differs substantially from this article and from the actual contents of the page. I am blanking to permit clarification of the matter from the article's creator or others with interest. If we cannot determine which came first and verification of permission is not forthcoming, we may have to delete the article in compliance with copyright policy. Any interested contributor is welcome to rewrite the article in the temporary space linked from the article's face. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

  • (copied over from talk) This article was created with text from A Land Afflicted: Scotland and the Covenanter Wars, 1638-90 to which Wikipedia is not legally entitled, lacking proper licensing by the publisher. Some examples of copyright problems include [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. I am heartily sorry to say that it seems the article will need to be rewritten, since this contributor has verified that the publisher did not license its use....
