The history section of this article was based on http://www.pellspool.org.uk/history.htm. The text has been hacked back to basics and completely revised to bear no similarity whatsoever to the pellspool.org.uk website.—Speedoguy (talk) 16:10, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Continued similarity

This article still constitutes a copyright violation of the original source, as a derivative work. Consider the following paragraph from the article:

In 1999 a Town meeting was called in response to 4,000 signatory petition objecting to the pool being closed and a skateboard park built. The District Council agreed to run the pool for a season, on the condition that a group of local people formed an organization that would run the pool and plan for the long term. In 2000 the "Pells Pool Campaign" became "Pells Pool Community Association", a charity to run the pool. The Council took ownership from the District Council and agreed to contribute £10,000 per year for three years. This was subsequently extended indefinitely in recognition of the PPCA’s success

The source says:

In March 1999 an extra-ordinary Town meeting was called in response to over 4,000 signatories signing a petition objecting to the announcement that the pool was to be closed and a skateboard park built in its place.... It was agreed that the District Council would run the pool for one more season, on the understanding that a group of local people formed an organization that would work towards running the pool in subsequent years and planning for the longer term.... In May 2000 the Pells Pool Campaign became the ‘Pells Pool Community Association,’ a charity ...to run the pool.... The Town Council...took ownership...from the District Council and agreed to make a contribution of £10,000 per year to the PPCA for three years.... This was subsequently extended indefinitely in recognition of the PPCA’s increasing success...

Perhaps seeing these side by side, with some unused material removed, can make a little more clear potential concerns with abridgment. You have runs of duplicate text and precisely the same syntax in some sections.

This particular problem was pointed out on November 14th, but no steps have yet been taken to correct it.

The article needs to be rewritten so that it does not infringe on the language or syntax of the original. If it is not rewritten soon (or permission not verified), it will be necessary to blank it and list it at WP:CP. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Phrasing re-worked to avoid any partial derivative phraseology. Remaining common phrases such as "extended indefinitely" are common expressions and idioms.—Speedoguy (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It has been added to this category but I cannot currently find a reliable source stating this is true.—Speedoguy (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

The List I use is UK Parliament Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport, Minutes of Evidence January 2002. Maybe add this to List of sources on lidos--Lidos (talk) 16:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
