 * There really are no situations where blanking a page is the correct way to handle a situation. Blanking pages is vandalism that vast majority of the time, which is why the bot flags on it.  That said, the correct way to handle entirely copyright violation articles is to replace the article with the  template, replaceing with the URL or other descriptor of where the page was copied from.  The template will then tell you what other steps to take. - TexasAndroid 19:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you have a link to where it was taken from? If so, then I'll gladly do the work for you.  But without a link it's a bit hard to know if it is truely a violation or not.  - TexasAndroid 03:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. I have placed the article up as a copyright violation.  My normal procedure when helping editors deal with their mistakes and missteps is to show them how it *should* have been done, and let them do it themselves to help learn to be a better editor.  The old proverb "Give a man a fish, and you feed him tonight.  Teach a man to fish, and you feel him for life.".  But then with one of your comments on my talk page I realized you were a different situation.  It appears that you are not an aspiring editor here, but rather are the copyright holder of the violated material.  In this case, you do not care about editing here, you just want your work dealt with.  And that makes things a totally different situation.
 * With the link you provided I was able to see that at least some of the material on the Rick Mount page was indeed lifted from he Purdue site. But by all no means all of it was.  What the article needs is a good pruning out of the copyvio material, not a total removal of the article.  But for now I have started the process, and replaced the entire page with a notice that the page was a copyright violation.  Now it will be in the hands of those skilled at dealing with such things to salvage as much of the page as they can without the infringing material.  Or to rewrite the material so that, while the facts remain, it no longer uses your words.  whichever way they handle it, the page is now theirs to handle.  And it should remain as only a violation notice until someone is able to properly fix things on it.
 * I hope that this all meets with your satisfaction as a handling of the situation. - TexasAndroid 18:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
