I created and own the JWSO webpage. I wrote all the content and took all the pictures except as noted. With my colleague Michael Sterner, I raised all the money for it and oversaw its construction. I am one of the 2 faculty co-directors of the observatory, which is one of the very few handicapped accessible observatories in the world.
The content is not plagiarized because it wasn't copyrighted to begin with, and the University of Montevallo does think the JWSO is worth mentioning on its page. Please refrain from deleting or revising it for these misunderstood reasons.
