Does anyone know if this is a legitimate use, or a flagrant act of plaigarism?

[edit] copyright infringement

Having read the howstuffworks.com article a year ago (or so), this article here was immediately recognizable as a copy. I'm rather new in here so I'll look how to proceed.. I'll search the history and see if there's anything original that's not plagiarized. Santtus 16:33, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

I'm a newbie myself, but I've added the copyright violation boilerplate in the hope that this'll get noticed - apologies if this isn't the right thing to do.

Removing the copyrighted material was a lot easier than I thought (it's all in one place) and I've modified the temp page. If no-one objects, I'll copy that onto the actual page and remove the copyvio.
