I just marked this page as a possible copyvio, not because it was translated from http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Nature (which is free through the GFDL), but because http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Nature is essentially identical to http://www.gloubik.info/Revue-la-recherche/la-nature/la-nature.html. I looked at the history of http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Nature but could not find an older version of http://www.gloubik.info/Revue-la-recherche/la-nature/la-nature.html at archive.org to compare them. So I'm stumped as to which came first. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The French version indeed is more or less a direct copy from the website you identified, something I did not really notice. The English version, however, has some other elements, and I believe it is still salvageable if I find some other sources and use appropriate citations. Is this permissible? --Oreo Priest 03:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Oreo Priest did a bit more digging and determined, based on this page, that Gloubik is responsible for both pages listed above. When Gloubik posted the material to fr.wikipedia, it became GFDL licensed. Thus, there is no copyvio, and I am reverting the tag I applied. --Butseriouslyfolks 03:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
