This article is substantially duplicated by a piece in an external publication. Since the external publication copied Wikipedia rather than the reverse, please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following source:
While the text here bears strong resemblance to that at the external site, it seems to have been authored here. To begin with, the earliest archives of that site date to June 2008. This is not conclusive, as the material could have been moved at that time, but it combines with evidence of natural evolution. Let's evaluate the paragraph published at the external site: "Keith was known at the University of Arizona as one of the founders of the Druid Student Center, where a campus humor newspaper, The Frumious Bandersnatch was published in the late 1960s. He later cited an incident that occurred in his student days as a good example of memetic replication. When asked to fill in a form that required him to disclose his religious affiliations he wrote “Druid”. His prank was soon noticed by other students and before long almost 20% of the student body had registered themselves as Reform Druids, Orthodox Druids, Members of the Church of the nth Druid, Zen Druids, Latter-Day Druids, and so on. The university was forced to remove the religious affiliation question, breaking the chain of replication and variation." We see this beginning to enter the article piecemeal as early as September 2005, when this content is added: "Henson was known at the U of A as one of the founders of the Druid Student Center, from which The Frumious Bandersnatch [1] a campus humor newspaper was published in the late 60s. (The Druids were also known for making UFOs, [2].)" Two months later, it was edited to more closely resemble what we have now, by another user, but none of the rest of that paragraph was then in existence. It was added years later in February 2007 by a third (now retired) contributor. Add to that a final piece of evidence - that the underlined text at that website links to Wikipedia, and we have good reason to believe that they are infringing on Wikipedia's contributors rather than the other way around. --Moonriddengirl(talk)12:30, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

He also founded the L5 Society, was added to the lead-in. This is not entirely correct, he was one of the founders of a group of humanists and human rights activists from California who founded the L5 Society. SoftwareThing (talk) 18:49, 4 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
