[edit] Plagiary or problems with sources?

I was looking for a source to one of the article's claims (i.e. that Stampp has been criticized in a particular work for relying too much on secondary sources) and ran across this:

http://hnn.us/roundup/entries/32242.html

which contains an almost word for word copy of this article. The article goes well beyond this article, but, unlike sources that do attribute their copying to Wikipedia, this article did not. I have sent an email to the editor of the webpage (The History News Network) for clarification.

I apoligize for jumping the gun and assuming that Wikipedia was the copycat -- it appears that the opposite is very possible Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 16:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
