The greater part of this article is virtually identical to the description of Frank's Great War on Amazon.co.uk. Unless it can be shown that the product description was taken from the Wikipedia article, it must be assumed to be copyright violation and will therefore have to be deleted or replaced.

The book on Amazon appears to have been released in November 2014, while this article was posted several months before, in February 2014. It is obviously the same author who is behind both texts. The editor of Frank's Great War is Stephen Games, which also happens to be the user name of the original author of the article (User talk:Stephen Games). In other words, he has released the text under Wikipedia's free license before re-using it as a blurb at Amazon. --Hegvald (talk) 02:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well spotted! That's okay, then. Scolaire (talk) 06:36, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
