copyright violation
I noticed and removed/rewrote a sentence that seemed to be directly copied from a source yesterday, and today added the copyvio-revdel template to the main article. I believe that it is generally proper protocol to put a message here to that effect. I have not dealt with copyright issues before, so feel free to get in touch if I did something wrong.
