I'm not clear of the Copyright status of the 1958 book (it is marked copyright Olaf Caroe and [http://www.archive.org/about/terms.php archive.org's terms of use] states "is granted for scholarship and research purposes only." and "In particular, you certify that your use of any part of the Archive's Collections will be noncommercial and will be limited to noninfringing or fair use under copyright law." I feel the quotes used go beyond fair-use (and of course it is plagiarism too). The problem was suspected back in 2007 but I guess no one spotted the original source until now. It's mainly in the history sections where extensive unattributed copy and paste is evident. There also appears to be copy and paste from another source (ie not the 1958 book) but I have not looked for its source. Frankly I do not know the best or approved way to cleanup (the copy and paste text has already appeared in mirrors). [[User:84user|84user]] ([[User talk:84user|talk]]) 00:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
