This article used the old dictionary of National Biography as a source and slapped the generic PD atribution template on for the thing. Why use that crap when there is a revised ODNB? Why copy/paste stuff when we can write it using umpteen other sources? It is cheap, shoddy and unnecessary ... and it is frowned upon by many in the community because we're not here to reproduce what old, often somewhat hagiographic sources said.
