Copyvio?[edit]

Virtually all of this article appears to be a verbatim copy of an article that appears at the All About Baptists website. I haven't removed the offending content, since there's no copyright notice on the source page. However, it might still be a copyvio; I'm not versed enough in copyright law to say.

You are correct. That the text was copied from the outside website. (It has existed on that website since at least June 2007 according to internet archives.) Text on outside websites is assumed to be copyrighted unless specifically marked with a free license. I have removed the copy-pasted text. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 06:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem removed[edit]

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.allaboutbaptists.com/history_G_Beauchamp_Vick.html. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 06:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
