[edit]
Suspected source is http://freshboldandsodef.tumblr.com/post/6182648253/felicia-pride-is-an-independent-content-producer but contributor says it's a backwards copy, see talk page. January (talk) 11:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • At the end of the text on the source, it states "(Wikipedia article)" and both were made on the same day. The text isn't exact though, the source uses "...is an independent content producer..." which the WP article never used. The info section for her Facebook page, which was created before June 4, contains much of the text as well. While, the article was expanded rather gradually, this edit indicates text was taken from Facebook.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The reason the subject's facebook information may mirror what is on the WP is because I have created this page on behalf of the subject. She supplied me with the details regarding her work/biography which she has used in many places to describe her work and biography, including on her Facebook page. What is the suggestion for original content produced by the subject duplicated throughout the internet but which is 100% original and comes directly from the subject herself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K.scott87 (talkcontribs) 13:54, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well then the Facebook text would have to verified for use and licensed on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted material for more guidelines. Verification of the text is done through an OTRS agent. Just of note: I removed the comment header you had and put 'Comment' in bold so the conversation stays together. Feel free to remove Comment if you'd like.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:51, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
