Copyrights question
editSome of the history section in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidhpur article was taken from Hindu Temples, what Happened to Them: the Islamic Evidence without attribution. I deleted one paragraph that was directly copied, as was recommended in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#Instructions , but I am not sure how much more was taken, and what policies they fall under. Also it mentioned affixing a copyright tag and notifying the editor, which I don't know how to do. Thank you, Vacationing55 (talk) 11:17, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

- I removed it as per the [1] page because of it was copied word for word from a 1991 book without attribution as I noted in the editing summary. Please see the above discussion with Chzz. Vacationing55 (talk) 20:12, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Correction: actually it was a 1990 book, so it came out more than a decade before wikipedia even started. Continued discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alpha_Quadrant#.22Vandalism.22_on_Sidhpur_page Vacationing55 (talk) 21:01, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
