User:W9kfb (

the source page. I moved it from its original home at
General Motors to reduce the size of that article. Doesn't look like copyvio to me if the original author submitted it to Wikipedia.

(A) How can anyone verify that the person who submitted this to Wikipedia is also the original author of the content on the GM wiki?
I'll take a stab at (A): The user's name on wikipedia, W9kfb, is a ham radio callsign. Looking it up on QRZ.com
shows that it is Ronald W. Cox, the listed author for the article on the gmnext.com wiki.
The contributor who posted this content pointed out that I had overlooked its prior publication on Wikipedia. The gmnext article was not established until March 30, 2008, at which point it was copied from
General Motors. --
