The edit summary creating this article asserts that it's by the same person as the owner of the blog. I think before speedying as a copyvio, we should allow sufficient time for the blog owner, if this is the case, to assert on the blog that permission is granted. By the way, the specific location this was copied from is http://psychologyreview.blogspot.com/2008/04/visual-cliff.html —David Eppstein (talk) 07:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think he's using his own sources: the blog consists of short reviews of other people's research articles, and what we have here is the same thing: a short Wikipedia article that reviews some other person's research article. That sounds completely legitimate to me. Whether these articles are widely cited enough that their results should be considered notable withing their fields is a different question... —David Eppstein (talk) 15:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
