I recently made in inquiry to Osprey, as I know a lot of Wikipedia articles use either text or artwork from them. Here is the response I got. Palm_Dogg 19:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the vast majority of the text of the page since it was a copyright violation of the Osprey Publishing website's own history page. We now just have a link to the Osprey website, and a short statement that the company is a British publishing company along with various stub notices on the page. David Newton 11:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
