Article text matched a book

I've resolved the issue, but noting it here for posterity/reference. As previously written, this article explained the "policy for allowing crossclaims"--which seemed correct to me, but needed citation (and a copyedit). In the course of looking for a good reference, I came across this Google Books result: [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Textbook_on_Legal_Language_and_Legal_Wri/wg1dvc2lfcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=175 Textbook on Legal Language and Legal Writing, by Prof. Dr. K. L. Bhatia (2010)], at p.175. The definition there appears to be an exact duplicate of a former version of this article. I note that the book has a copyright date of 2010, while some of the text at issue has been in this article since it was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crossclaim&oldid=51189157 first drafted in 2006]. So I'm not asserting that the Wikipedia editor committed any plagiarism. In any case, the text was uncited, and once I found an acceptable source (which was more difficult than I had expected), I thought it best to go ahead and rewrite the text to better reflect my source and, incidentally, to differentiate it more from Prof. Bhatia's book. --EightYearBreak (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
