What is the copyright violation? So far nothing has been provided as to the name or location of the copyrighted text from which the article was stolen. There is part of the article that looks more like an academic paper then an encyclopedia article, but I would guess that it is just as likely because someone has basically added their own paper to the article as I would guess a copyright violation has taken place. Regradless, I think this article should be restored until evidence can be provided that this or any part of the article was copied.TeamDiscoveryChannel 02:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

That is exactly what it is. I wrote the bulk of this article for a graduate level class on F.C.S. Schiller, and then just pasted it onto Wikipedia since there wasn't much info on this (great) philosopher. Anyone is free to edit it and improve on it. As with anything I write, there is always more I want to do and changes I want to make. (Atfyfe 04:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC))

I've done this myself, over time the paper gets worked into the general flow of the article. People need to be careful about jumping to conclusions about the source of things, when accusations are made that copyright violations have occured, we at the very least need to know what has apparently been plagerized. It is disturbing to see an administrator act in such a careless way. TeamDiscoveryChannel 07:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I appreciated seeing some apparently well-researched material added, even though quite lengthy at the moment. In due course I presume this will get integrated, perhaps balanced with additional material, and worked into the article in a more synoptic and encyclopedic form. Thank you for prividing it Atfyfe.
I do not, however, see all the references included. In addition, are there any other recommended readings? Thanks... Kenosis 12:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I was puzzled by the claim that FCS Schiller was born in *North-Schleswig, Denmark*, being a Dane from Southern Jutland myself. According to the German "version" of this wikipage, he was born in Ottense, near Buxtehude west of Hamburg. This is not even Holstein, which is itself south of Schleswig, only the Northern part of which could be considered Danish. I hesitate to edit this, though, because the only reference I have so far is the de.wikipedia, and for all I know, this article may be right and the German one wrong. --Lasse Hillerøe Petersen 19:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
