[edit] Article

This article, as written, is pure plagiarism. It is a verbatim copy and paste from the linked USGS article.

Plagiarism involves using someone's ideas without giving them credit. The source here is credited as such, so it isn't plagiarism. -- Avenue 12:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
It's not kosher to reproduce verbatim content from another website to create a Wikipedia article, whether it's public domain or not, whether it's credited or not. Wikipedia is not a repository for the content of other websites. --76.223.221.122 09:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
