 * Just to be clear, even though the file is an image, it contains much more text that would be allowable to quote under the fair-use doctrine of United States copyright law, hence it is a copyright violation. I've replaced it with the image which contains only a small portion of the article, the illustration. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:39, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The image is not copyright violation as I have permission to use it from the copyright holders. I have followed the above instructions and reverted your changes to the article. Please discuss any issues before making any further changes. Thanks. --Hm2k (talk) 07:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
