This article is almost an exact copy of this article: San Francisco Bay Area Coffee - Varietals Explained

Interesting. That article is particularly close, though not identical, to the original version of the article. However, I wonder if it's not an issue of that site copying from wikipedia instead. Take a look at the linked text at the top of their page Varietal Coffee Explained. It's a link to the April 4th version of the wikipedia page. And it looks like that's the identical version. I would think that if this page started as a copy of the sfbayaxis site, the identical version would be the initial one.

Further, the original author has been an active editor in good standing for quite some time now, so I would be surprised if this were an instance of the wiki article being a copyvio. I'll ask him to weigh in on the issue though. ScottW 16:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

The text in the "coffee varietals" page used to be in the Coffee article. My involvement was taking it and splitting it out into this article to avoid cluttering up the main article. The text as it existed was already here when I did that, so I can't say for sure whether we copied sfbayaxis or they copied us. Nandesuka 17:25, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verified sfbayaxis.com stole from Wikipedia

I went back and checked the main Coffee article, you can see the evolution of this section here - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coffee&oldid=24697519 LilDice 05:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
