[edit] Burrill Phillips

Hello, with the article Burrill Phillips, are you saying that the text was submitted by Ann Phillips Basart herself (or by someone else with her permission), and not copied from somewhere else? If that's so then there isn't a copyright problem. However, I removed her signature from the article, according to the Wikipedia policy against ownership of articles, articles should never be signed, unlike other encyclopedias. I'm also concerned about citing unpublished diaries in the sources. Are they available to the public somewhere? Another policy, verifiability, admits only information which can be verified by somebody, and prohibits original research, even if it is correct and done by an expert.
