Sir, regarding this... The following is your copyright violation version and the actual text from [1], bolded text showing the offending phrases.
Karl Joseph Brodtmann (1787-1862), was an accomplished Swiss artist and lithographer, as well as a printmaker and bookseller who worked in Zurich and Schaffhausen. Brodtmann's natural history lithographs include Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's works on reptiles and birds, published in the early 1830s. Brodtmann also produced natural history lithographs, as Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Theirreiche.
"Karl Joseph Brodtmann was one of the most accomplished lithographers of his day, as well as a printseller and bookseller who lived in Zurich and Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His natural history lithographs include Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's natural history volumes on reptiles and birds, published in the early 1830s. Brodtmann also produced the offered folio natural history lithographs, probably also in the 1830s, as Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Theirreiche."
Removing a few words here and there and changing one or two words (e.g. printseller to printmaker) does not make this your own words. It's a clear violation of copyright. Please rewrite those two short paragraphs in your own words. Cheers, Rkitko(talk) 22:58, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How on earth can Karl Joseph Brodtmann, in Zurich and Schaffhausen, natural history lithographs, Heinrich Rudolf Schinz and Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Theirreiche be regarded as copyright!!!!!????? This is a clear case of bureaucracy gone mad and if the words or their order offend you then kindly change them to something you regard as appropriate, but please don't try to make a pharisee of me as well.
