I don't know the procedure here, but this article is a pretty close paraphrasing of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs on this page: http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Aerospace/Sud/Aero48.htm

I don't know whether this is considered plagarism, because it is mostly paraphrased, but the page is not cited and the content and flow are almost identical. I do not know how to proceed, so I shall add the page to the references section.

I think that's the correct way to go about it. No copyright infringement seems to have taken place, since the actual wording differs, but it should have been cited as a reference (probably the only one used). The page possibly predates the more widespread insistence on citing one's sources. Given that Wikipedia is not being done for personal credit, plagiarism is not problematic in the same way as in, say, a college paper - but it is poor form and shows an article that is poorly sourced. —Morven 00:14, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
