(User: AMFriedman) Hi, I wrote a very small temp. article on Governor Leader while the copyright issue clears up.
Someone put this article under a "copyright violation ban" while not giving any explanation here or anywhere else. Therefore this looks very, very much like vandalism. I returned the article to normal and edited it for better legibility, and furthermore, I added links and categories. I hope the article will not again be vandalized under the pretense of "copyright violation". -- 85.74.157.116 12:47, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

<Actually, if W. Scranton of PA is still alive (and Wikipedia says he is), then Mr. Scranton is the earliest; he was born in 1917. (Maybe there are others?)
The bio says that Leader is the earliest living governor, not the oldest. Because it is being claimed that Leader is the earliest governor one must look at when they held office, not their age.
If Scranton is still living, then, yes, he is older than Leader. However, Leader held office from 1955-1959, while Scranton held office from 1963-1967. As Leader held office during an earlier period, that would make him the earliest living governor in the United States.
The Elbert N. Carvel article refers to Leader as the current earliest living governor. The Earliest living US governor article does the same. -- WayneNight
Is it just me, or does this article, as it currently stand, seem to be in violation of copyright rules again?
I didn't realize it until today, but the article once again seems to be almost entirely lifted from http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/governors/leader.asp?secid=31
This is very disappointing. I'd like to have an article on George Leader on wikipedia. I just don't want it to violate the rules. WayneNight 04:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I think you're being superstitious. Why can't you just be happy that we've got a good article here? ;) -- Maxl 16:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I fleshed out this article using the information from the PHMC site, but without copying that information directly. I provided links to the PHMC site, and, hopefully, what we have here now is in compliance with copyright requirements.
This article could still use some fleshing out from other sources. Also, I'm sure what I've written could be improved upon. Edits are very welcome. WayneNight 21:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
The article was large and informative and now only a little part of it is still standing. What happened? I think it's not all that funny to first delete everything and then complain about the article not to be "fleshed out". Where the heck are all the edits between Oct 16, 2005 and Sept 30, 2006? To me it looks a lot like some admin went berserk and vandalized the article. -- Maxl 18:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
