→Bringing over content from Wikipedia: The 'Background'
:Yes, Psircleback was asking specifically about importing text which has been added to WP by multiple different WP accounts, but all of which they say they own. So basically, we, our readers, and critics won't be able to verify that this text was not plagiarized. If we're okay with that, then yes, just use the template and go for it. I just wasn't certain about the lack of verifiability. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 00:44, July 30, 2021 (EDT)

:::No, but I'm only interested in re-using the stuff I contributed. Specifically, all the edits made to WP's John R Searle article at the very end of December 2018 were me (as well as some of what was in that section already). Searle's 'Background' is Wittgenstein's 'substratum' (in ''On Certainty'' - but, if Searle is right, awareness of it can be traced back to Hume), and that's the topic I am minded to write about. -J [[User:Psircleback|Psircleback]] ([[User talk:Psircleback|talk]]) 03:30, July 30, 2021 (EDT)
