Copy/Paste?[edit]
Hi all. I discovered when consulting the source that the bullet points describing the states are partly or in full copied from the source. I don't know if this accounts to a copyright violation (only sections and with an attribution at the beginning, but mixed into normal text without quotes). Does this need a rewrite or if this is fine? Advice by an expert/admin/power user would be appreciated. Padyx (talk) 12:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
- It's been replaced with earlier text. It was a clearly violation of our copyright policy in 2006 - although attribution was given, it was copied verbatim at the time. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:59, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Yet, the current reference only exists at the top and the link doesn't work. I don't have time, but could someone update the article to include references in the appropriate locations?152.7.224.4 (talk) 16:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
