Talk:Trimagic cube

Copyright problem removed
One or more portions of this article duplicated other source(s). The material duplicated this URL: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TrimagicCube.html.

Investigation strongly suggests that the second paragraph was pasted from that external site. See the edit where it was added, and note that "(Heinz, Boyer)" was removed less than an hour later, here. If the external site copied us, it would have had to duplicate the text in that very narrow window.

However, while the first sentence is also present at that external site, I cannot confirm that it was pasted. Internet archives suggest the page was established in December of 2003, a month after our article was established with that sentence. Also, the material was not introduced by the same editors, but two: one of whom is a long established contributor.

Material that seems likely to have been copied has been removed and should not be restored, unless it is duly released under a license compatible with GFDL or unless it can be verified that Wikipedia was the site of first publication. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
