[edit] Possible/likely copyvio

The present article (which it seems was created in a single text dump by an anon user) looks to me to be a likely copyvio - phrases such as "The mask on the bottom right contains hieroglyphics for yax" (when there is no corresponding img) seem a dead giveaway. I'm presently unable to locate the original source, however. Anyone else agree?--cjllw | TALK 00:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I looks like a text dump to me too. However in fairness, the phrase "the mask on the bottom right" can refer the bottom right side of the temple, rather than the location of a missing illustration. I left a message on the user talk page, though they seem not to have been active since November. I think at least a full rewrite of the article would be prudent. -- Infrogmation 01:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

a-ha, I had completely overlooked that possible interpretation, on re-reading, you may well be right. Agreed that a rewrite is in order in any case.--cjllw | TALK 07:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I"ve revised this text sufficiently enough, I think, to remove the concern about copyvio. I reworded the previous text while incorporating info from Sharer (1994). -- Oaxaca dan 19:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well done dan - that should do very nicely indeed, many thanks! Cheers, --cjllw | TALK 02:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
