Lord Forbes's siege of 1642
Can you check spelling. Was Forbes really simulated by Willoughby and Ashley or was he stimulated? Also, I changed "chaplin" to "chaplain", but what does it say in the original? --Red King 10:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My bad! Also, thanks for the footnotes. Much of what occoured at this time was because of the on-going seige of Forthill, and I hope to make the events much clearer once I can nail down a few final difficult points. What's your interest in Galway? Cheers!Fergananim

Lord Forbe's siege of 1642
I'm a relatively new editor and I'm confused. The words in this portion of the Wikipedia article are virtually identical to the words in a published book - Twenty-Two Turbulent Years, 1639-1661 by David Wallace
Url for the book via Google = https://books.google.com/books?id=Mkpl2cBZn3gC&pg=PA194&lpg=PA194&dq=siege+of+galway+1642&source=bl&ots=WIvMEXjxxu&sig=ACfU3U21fuP-7kU8lOB1dk_f7sOBI5zSSw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjIjbmx5MrpAhVHZc0KHaOsCkUQ6AEwC3oECA4QAQ#v=onepage&q=siege%20of%20galway%201642&f=false
Here's my problem... It looks to me like someone plagiarized someone, but I can't tell who. It would appear to me that the words in the Wikipedia article were written in 2005. And the copyright date on the book is 2013. I've seen quite a bit of websites plagiarizing Wikipedia, but never a printed book. What do I not understanding here?
Can anyone help me understand? Thanks, Virgil VFF0347 (talk) 21:29, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- VFF0347, thank you for keeping an eye open for copyvio, and for taking the trouble to report this! In this case I think we are OK – the section on Lord Forbes's siege was added with this edit on 4 June 2005, and has been little changed since then; my guess is that the principal source was this 1820 book, or some similar work. This book, on the other hand, was published in 2013, and appears to have copied from us; a give-away is the publishing house, Fast-Print Publishing – this is apparently a self-published work. Thanks again, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:45, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
