The first revision of the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yamato_nadeshiko&oldid=216638289 contains a large, unattributed chunk from http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/yamatonadeshiko.html. This has been edited somewhat, perhaps because somebody noticed it was copied.

Anyway, Wikipedians copying an article and then rewriting it is nothing new. See the Wikipedia article on the Japanese address system for another example of something copied from the sci.lang.japan FAQ.

 * Apparently, the original edit that added the chunk to Wikipedia also provided a link to the sci.lang.japan article  . Since it's paraphrased, and not directly copy-and-pasted, it's not immediately clear (to me at least) if this is a problem. At least, good faith can be assumed. Personally, I'm curious about the WWII reference and wondering if there was any further reading available, or if it was just content copy-n-pasted around the Internet without any substantial source behind it. For example, here's another article mentioning "yamato nadeshiko" on the Internet with a WWII reference: . —Tokek (talk) 11:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
