[edit] Article taken verbatim from published source

The original article, created by an anonymous editor with no subsequent contributions nor active talk page, was apparently transcribed verbatim from the entry on Herbert Kappler in the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust and no attribution given. (Section headers were added.) As copyright violation would unfortunately result in the deletion of this article, I'm taking the following action:

• Adding citation of the source article in References
• Light copyediting of the text (limited by time constraints)

I would appreciate if other editors would assist by further copyediting so that only relevant material remains. --Thanks, Deborahjay 19:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging article for copyright violation

Upon further advice at the New contributors' help page, it seems that the proper course of action is to tag the article for copyright violation -- that will result in its deletion and the need for rewriting, rather than editing the existing article. As an interim measure, I'm adding the citation under References as above. -- Deborahjay 19:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
