- The text seems to be taken from an article on wikipedia. As far as I can gather from this page and this page articles from wikipedia must be reproduced either in toto without additions or omissions or else in accordance with various conditions such as giving credit to wikipedia.
- Seems to me that it would, in general, be safer to have a policy of no copying from wikipedia please. Not only does it pose potential legal problems (though in reality these are rather unlikely to come to anything), but it also makes us look lazy and derivative. If one is going to plagiarize anything at all, why plagiarize a non-specialist source of low acadmic standing?
