  • History of marketing (history · last edit · rewrite) from http://www.knowthis.com/what-is-marketing/history-of-marketing. Several long paragraphs, comprising an entire section of the article, are copied verbatim from the named source; only one paragraph uses direct quotation marks. The original page reference, given as a source, was to a different page on the same website, possibly in an attempt to obscure true source of the copied prose. However, I changed the original page reference to the correct page reference before reporting it. This notice was previously placed on this page, but appears to have disappeared, so I am reinstating it. BronHiggs (talk) 06:11, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
The text has since been removed. I agree that it doesn't look like this was appropriate under our rules on fair use. Hut 8.5 18:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
