COPYVIO

I think the overlap with the source page http://www.jewish-world.org.il/Roots/English/2/InfoPages/IvrotLastName.asp?Language=English&PageLink=&unit=2&session=3&lesson=2&CF=152&CFS=1.3 is tantamount to WP:COPYVIO. jnestorius(talk) 22:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not verbatim and it is sourced. Epson291 (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's a very close paraphrase of pretty much the entirety of that page. The same quotations are used. IANAL but I question whether a minimal changing of words, plus attribution, is enough to prevent copyright violation. jnestorius(talk) 16:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greif means Griffin not claw

"Greif (means: "claw", indicating greed and/or miserliness)" Greif is German for Griffin, that's rather a honorable name then a bad name
