This page seems to be lifted in large part from the Project Gutenberg page cited at the end. Although it's a good page, this should be rectified as this is plagiarism. Perhaps I could rewrite the article; I'll draw up an outline in my free time. Radical25 22:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. I don't think that is the case here. The words are indeed ripped and mostly unedited, from a PG text. However the source text is out of copyright and so no legal problem arises; and no specific claims are being made, except that this is an article about piano actions. But by all means edit it to your heart's content. --Tagishsimon (talk)
[edit] offer my photographs
I would like to offer my photographs for use on this page (licensed under creative commons copy-left): http://www.flickr.com/photos/somebox/sets/72157600145341254/ --Jeremy Seitz
- Thanks. The photos are lovely, but I'm not convinced they're appropriate for this article. The problem I see is that in none of the photos is there enough context to understand what's going on, and how things fit together. In most of the images there's a mix of in & out of focus, which is fine for many purposes but probably not fine for illustrating a mostly technical article. Other people, of course, may disagree with me. Finally, wikipedia is always looking for images - don;t let me views put you off. I'd be delighted if wikipedia could benefit from some of your images ... please keep looking for opportunities to illustrate an article with your work. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

- Thanks for the reply. Your suggestion is noted, and I will attempt to create some new photographs that show the action in clear detail, perhaps a good overall view of the parts involved would be more useful. --Jeremy Seitz
