[edit] Bio info from IMDB?

The current version uses text that is identical to that on the Internet Movie Database for Greg Kinnear (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001427/bio). I reverted it once but it was brought back. I'm pretty sure text on IMDB is considered copyrighted, but is there a compelling reason for having it on this page? Gccwang 07:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I was just reading his bio on imdb, then came here to see WP's lowdown on Kinnear, only to find the identical text--without a reference crediting the original. Not very informative, and the imdb bios tend towards promotion of their subject over interesting, documented information. Crappy entry for such a well known actor. 0-0-0-Destruct-0 23:09, 20 January 2007 (
