[edit] Copyright violation

The text in the article is a copy of [1] (by Ju Gosling) with a little paraphrasing. If User:Skull 'n' Femurs is Ms Gosling, or the text is relased under the GFDL or a compatible licence, that would be fine; otherwise not. I've left a query at User talk:Skull 'n' Femurs

However, even if we have permission to use this text, a number of paragraphs are quoted material from which the attribution has been removed. This is quite wrong, and the attributions should be restored if the material is kept. Gdr 18:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Apparently no permission was given. So I'm afraid the text must go. Gdr 18:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I could quibble and dispute that 1. [2] was the prime source, (I'd never visited that page before the link was posted). 2. It was "with minor paraphrasing", but whatever - at least I did not simply cut 'n' paste without any changesas per Charles Matthews at school story... Skull 'n' Femurs 20:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

If you didn't copy the text from Ju Gosling, where did you copy it from? And the paraphrasing is quite minor: most sentences were quite unchanged from Gosling's original. The main difference was that you made a few cuts and removed attribution from the quotes. Gdr 20:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You say it was from the one source, so you tell me? Since it has gone, how can I say otherwise? Whatever... ask Charles Matthews if he knows. Also, I removed no attribution(s) from the quotes. "Am I bothered?" (Is that quote copyright, as well?) Skull 'n' Femurs 20:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
