Unreferenced[edit]

This article is almost unreferenced, as the purported sources in most formal citations are simply Google Books pages on Taylor's books. --P64 (talk) 19:12, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible plagiarism?[edit]

This article appears to originally have been lifted verbatim from a web page that is accredited to Anthony Taylor Dunn, the subject's grandson. Some edits have been made over the years, but the majority is still Dunn's work.

It is unclear to me if Dunn was the creator of the Wikipedia article, or if not, whether he granted permission for this use. His original biographical essay is not cited in the references, only given as an external link.

This issue also is related to the lack of references, already noted as a problem several years ago.

I generally limit my edits to fixing grammar and am not all that familiar with Wikipedia's stance on fair use, so I'm putting this out in the hopes an editor with more experience will see it. 2600:100A:B1C2:2808:0:B:6F3C:B801 (talk) 21:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
