Merge with [[Burke Family]]

I've proposed that these articles be merged, on the basis that both are functionally identical, with the same salient points & sources. I don't have an opinion on which should be kept, being unfamiliar with the genealogy article conventions. (reposted at Talk:Burke Family) --mordicai. 16:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Verbatim copying from source

This article has text that is verbatim from its cited source, Burke: People and Places, Eamonn Bourke. Example: "It was founded by the Anglo-Norman knight William de Burgh, brother of Hubert de Burgh (q.v.). Before the death of Henry II. (1189) he received a grant of lands". This would be a copyright infringement were it not for the fact that Bourke simply cribbed this from the 1910 Encyclopaedia Britannica, so it is technically in the public domain in the US. Nonetheless, it is bad form, and the article should be rewritten from scratch. Agricolae (talk) 00:37, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
