[edit] Kambojas and Kambodia

I can't tell whether this article is a copyvio of [1], or if it's the other way around, and I'm looking for input on this. If this article is a copyvio, it has to be deleted. In any case, though, the article is a jumbled mess that contains some inappropriate ownership language, although it can be cleaned up, and so if not copyvio, medium strong keep, but opinion is requested. --Nlu (talk) 06:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

mergeto Cambodia. Looking at the derivation of the term, I consider it should be merged with Cambodia. In similar transliteration cases, redirection is the most common choice: Bombay is redirected to Mumbai and Peking to Beijing.Ohconfucius 07:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, I'm going to make an educated guess that the website you linked to copied this from Wikipedia, based on one small fact: the link at the top ("For Kamboja migration to West/Southwest India, see: [8]") works in the WP article (and goes to an anchor in another WP article), but goes nowhere in the kambojsociety.com article. -- H·G (words/works) 20:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Not copied from Kambojsociety.

To the participants here, the article Kambojas and Kambodia on Kambojsociety [2] has been copied from the Wikipedia and not the otherway round. There are numerous other articles on Kambojas which the Kambojsociety website has copied from Wikipedia and placed in their website. Hope this removes any misunderstanding here.Sze cavalry01 00:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep in light of new facts. I sent a msg to the folks at KambojSociety notifying them of their copyright problem. Hopefully they will stop trying to copyright stuff they take from wikipedia. We'll see.--Kchase T 22:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Is it not Wikipedia's intent to let others copy and use/distribute the Wiki articles for the spread of education/information? If that is so, the Kambojsociety website is simply placing the Wikipedia Articles of interest to them on their site for the spread of information. Probably they should somewhere say that the articles belong to Wikipedia.

By the way, I have no bad feeling regarding that. Sze cavalry01 23:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

    • I don't have much bad feeling about it, either, and I agree with you about our goals. The problem is just that it creates extra work for us if they do that with many articles (b/c things like this happen). If they note that the material is licensed under the GFDL, then there's no copyright problem for either party, even if someone thinks WP copied the material from elsewhere, as long as that material was originally licensed under copyleft.--Kchase T 00:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
      • The problem is that at the same time that they copied the material, they also put a copyright notice on the bottom of the page and did not acknowledge Wikipedia. --Nlu (talk) 11:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
