Copyright Violation?
This article is almost a (or is exactly) word for word copy from Wood (p182) and I presume needs to be replaced with something else? --Burntnickel 02:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * If you have the book in question, and are sure it is copyvio, then the page should be blanked until it is rewritten; we just can't host copyvio material here. Since I don't have the book I'll leave it up to you. Doc  Tropics  02:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Done as per Copyright problems --Burntnickel 02:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well done. I checked your page and saw this is your area of interest; hopefully you'll be doing the rewrite? I usually try to help resolve problems once I notice them, but this is way outside my area. Doc  Tropics  02:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * My original intent was to just add some more information to the page, but now it does indeed look like I will need to get started on a replacement. --Burntnickel 10:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting this, Burntnickel. But I disagree with your course of action. The copyvio template is only appropriate when all of the article is a copyvio. In this case, the photo, infobox, ext links, navbox, etc. are not copyvio, so they should be retained and only the actual copyvio text deleted. I think it is best to avoid blanking pages and using the (very ugly) copyvio template if at all possible, while still actively removing blatant copyvio text. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 19:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

By the way, it appears that the initial copyvio (article created: 18:50, 13 February 2004 David Newton (Talk | contribs | block) (CVO site text.) ) was accidental and in good faith, thinking that the text was public domain because it was on the USGS CVO website here. But it is clearly marked (at least now) as coming from that copyrighted book. --Seattle Skier (talk) 19:23, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I hadn't thought to salvage the added content, that was a good move and I'll remember it in future. My initial concern was simply the removal of the copyvio (thereby protecting WP), but the page certainly looks better this way, and at least it has some minimal content. Nice one, Seattle : ) Doc  Tropics  19:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that this is a better course of action as the infobox was not part of the copyvio. Thanks for the cleanup.  I concur that it is easy to see how the original content was assumed to be public domain, I wonder if any of the other similar volcano articles have had the same thing happen? I'll see what new content I can provide. --Burntnickel 20:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
