[edit] Copyvio

I noticed at least one sentence is taken as-is from http://www.angelfire.com/biz/piranha038/hydrolycus.html. That sentence is "Their looks alone remind one of the deepsea fishes found in the world's ocean. The swimming angle is also bizarre and is reminiscent of the characin head standers."

I don't know if it's Wikipedia who wrote that idea first, or if it's the website but either way, two identical sentences are found in both wiki and that website. There might be more to copyvios along. Dread Specter 03:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Either way, let's try to save any info that isn't part of the copyvio or any other possible copyvios, because info on that fish is rather scarce...Dread Specter 03:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Further exploring, I found out that the information possibly violating the copyrights was added at 11:24 on 23 November 2005 by Stan Shebs. This seems to date from a while, so anyone who DO know how to check for how a long a webpage existed, please confirm that the webpage wasn't actually created after this addition. Also, take note that a temporary page was made, without the copyrighted material, but it may not be free of all copyvios.Dread Specter 03:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
This information was added while merging this article with [1], which was a true copyvio from the source you found. Conscious 19:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for confirming that to me. I appreciate it.Dread Specter 04:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
