Does anyone know if this is a legitimate use, or a flagrant act of plaigarism?
copyright infringement
editHaving read the howstuffworks.com article a year ago (or so), this article here was immediately recognizable as a copy. I'm rather new in here so I'll look how to proceed.. I'll search the history and see if there's anything original that's not plagiarized. Santtus 16:33, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
Copyright
editI'm a newbie myself, but I've added the copyright violation boilerplate in the hope that this'll get noticed - apologies if this isn't the right thing to do.

Removing the copyrighted material was a lot easier than I thought (it's all in one place) and I've modified the temp page. If no-one objects, I'll copy that onto the actual page and remove the copyvio.

The Feynman citation is from his book "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!"
editThe Feynman citation is from his book "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" (quotes part of title) but attribution ought to be moved to a footnote. The fact is surely known before his independant discovery of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.199.99.122 (talk) 07:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC).
Short story?
editSafe-cracking is the main focus of a short story, the title of which is something like 'A retrieved reformation' about a reformed safe cracker who has to crack a safe when his nieces or something get stuck in one.
Aha! Found it on my own, and will add it to media depictions if you don't mind.

Yegg
editSearching for 'yegg' redirects to this but there is absolutely no indication as to why. 86.164.38.164 (talk) 23:34, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
A "yegg" is a slang term for a safe-cracker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.241.99.101 (talk) 03:22, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
