Copyright check[edit]

CorenSearchBot found several examples of identical text in http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/John_Macfarlane_Gray (Duplicate Detector). The source is a 1908 obituary, so is not covered by copyright. Since the similar text strings are mostly the titles of technical papers, they would probably not be copyright violations anyway. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:19, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
