Hi Drmies.
Just because the text is the same does not mean that WE copied from THEM! I don't know where you are getting your information from, but I translated that section of text directly from the Dutch Wikipedia page in early 2008. I remember it distinctly. You can check the version history of the article as well. I don't know how long thebeersession.com has been around, but there is nothing in the Wayback Machine from before 2010. I appreciate your effort and strongly worded warning but in this case it does not apply.
However, the text isn't encyclopedic or sourced, so perhaps it shouldn't stay anyway. Please check twice before making accusations of plagiarism. This is very serious.

I think you're right on both counts - the text is not a copyvio, but I'm not sure if it should be included either. I've restored it but someone could challenge it if they really wanted. Oreo Priest talk 15:53, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
