[edit] Action (piano)

This page seems to be lifted in large part from the Project Gutenberg page cited at the end. Although it's a good page, this should be rectified as this is plagiarism. Perhaps I could rewrite the article; I'll draw up an outline in my free time. Radical25 22:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. I don't think that is the case here. The words are indeed ripped and mostly unedited, from a PG text. However the source text is out of copyright and so no legal problem arises; and no specific claims are being made, except that this is an article about piano actions. But by all means edit it to your heart's content. --Tagishsimon (talk)
