[edit] Cleanup tag
I added a cleanup tag. Not sure if this is the right tag, but the article must be changed. The final line of the article currently reads "Copyright 2005".
This must be removed. However, I am not sure how to proceed, as it may mean several things. I hope the original editor can clear this up for us. Possibilities include
(a) The original author is asserting copyright. This is not allowed: note that you have accepted the term "You agree to license your contributions under the GFDL" which means authors retain no copyright. In the same way you accept that this article can and will be rewritten by any editor.
(b) This is copyright material copied from another source. In this case the article must be rewritten or a specific release under the GFDL provided. I suspect if no action is taken, wikipedians will eventually assume the worst and delete the article.
(c) This is a simple mistake.
After correcting this, possibly rewriting if (b) applies, please remove the {{Cleanup}} line at the top of the article. Thank you.

Sorry to be picky, but I'll respond to "which means authors retain no copyright". That's false. The author retains copyright, but simply licenses that content freely to others. If a copy/paste from another web site had been done legally from a GFDL source (which is rare), than it would actually be appropriate to mention the original copyright holder at the end of the article. --Rob 01:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
