Talk:Josef Škvorecký

This article contains word for word similarities with this article by Brian Kenety. For example these two sentences are exactly the same, including the parenthesis:

(In Canada, he is considered to be a Canadian author despite the fact that he is still mostly publishing in Czech.)

As far as I can tell the Wikipedia article was written first and Kenety copied from it. Please don't delete or tag copyvio until you can verify which came first, it appears Wikipedia came first.

The sentence you mention was started 15/3/2007 and finished 28/2/2008 so I don't see how it could be a copyvio of an article published 3/1/2012. Contrariwise, if the article's author indeed used WP as his source I doubt we can use his article as a major source for ours. --Thrissel (talk) 02:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As (understandably) nobody seems to disagree I'll remove the "reference". --Thrissel (talk) 19:32, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The category "Deaths from cancer" has been added to this page. On that category page it states: Cancer is a relatively common disease. Generally, this category should include only people who are notable for having or dying of cancer, especially those who have voluntarily participated in public advocacy of issues related to cancer, rather than a complete catalog of every single person died from cancer-related medical condition.

Does Škvorecký meet the above conditions? If so, there is no mention of the evidence in the article. 850 C (talk) 10:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
