[edit] "McElroy Memo" section copyright status?

Not sure if this is a copyright problem or not, but I noticed that the last five paragraphs of the the section "The McElroy Memo" are identical to the text found on this page: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/1476.html -- John Fitzgibbons 204.15.3.5 19:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, three paragraphs are exact copies from the book "American Business, 1920-2000: How It Worked" by Thomas K. McCraw. I own this book. How should this be rectified or proper attribution be given? -- Mario Vellandi 66.74.182.23 (talk) 08:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Anything that is word-for-word should be either removed or paraphrased. If you can add citation references to the appropriate places, that would be great. Use this: <ref>{{cite book | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = | publisher = | date = | location = | pages = | isbn = }}</ref>, where last is the author's last name, and first is the author's first name.
