In the Spring of 2009, paragraphs of text in a thousand articles about New Zealand and Australian gastropods (here [1] and here [2]) were cut, because of copyright issues. The excised text is still to be found in the edit history. This text can be suitably rewritten and placed back in all of the articles.
