Leo
Dear Keith, Thanks for the update on Leo's behaviour. It is indeed plagiarism. Personally, I don't care too much on his copying my material since I am not an Egyptologist anyway...and maybe it is a compliment to me, I can't say. But other copyright holders will not be pleased and may threaten to sue Wikipedia. IMO, the general rule of thumb is that if you copy the copyrighted work of others, you MUST give a clear acknowledgement of the source. I did this in my article on Intef VII--see the reference relating to the discovery of this king's tomb. Everyone knows it comes from a June 2001 story by Reuters.  If not, people will definitely accuse Wikipedia of stealing their ideas. From your description, Leo seems quite close minded and intolerant. If he persists in this behaviour and copies other people's work, you probably have no choice but to report him to an Admin. Someone will have to block his account for a few days or longer...if he keeps up. Leoboudv 06:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You might have to report Leo to an Admin real soon and get his account frozen if he keeps this up. He is certainly no professor or 'Egyptologist' and he completely messed up the page on Khyan which I had to fix. He equated the prenomen Seuserenre with Khyan when actually there were 2 Second Intermediate Period kings with this prenomen: the hyksos king Khyan and the Theban king Seuserenre Bebiankh who is given 12 years in the Turin Canon. A genuine Egyptologist would know the difference between the two. Leoboudv 07:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Keith, Do you know if this image of Nectanebo II's sarcophagus by Leo is in the public domain or is not on a private website. It is a great photo and would be a good addition on Nectanebo II...if Leo didn't copy and past it from someone's website. It looks legit at first glance: I googled 'British Museum' 'sarcophagus' and 'Nectanebo' and could find no photo which matched it. Perhaps you might consider justifying its continued existence on Wikipedia. Here is the photo: Image:Nectanebo ii sarcophagus bm.jpg What do you think? Leoboudv 21:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to waste your time. I just found the same image on the Livius site. Leo just copied and pasted the image. Clear copyright infringement here. Leoboudv 21:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, if this is a picture of, then this is in the sculpture gallery of the British Museum/ If there is a need for a picture I can see whether I can get one next week hopefully Markh 22:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
