== How close is too close (re:copyvio)? ==
How much does a text have to be reworked to not be considered copyvio?  The text of a new article [[Guido Borelli]] by an anon is extremely close to the text found at two different web sites: [http://galeriedartfrancais.com/artists_images/borrelli/] and [http://www.avatargalleries.com/borelli_degrazia_bio_art/borelli_combined_art_bio.htm].  It isn't an exact copy of the other text, but it is too close for my comfort.  Anyone?  [[User:SWAdair|SWAdair]] | [[User talk:SWAdair|Talk ]] 10:18, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

*True indeed!<br>But as it happens to be his life and his biography written by Guido himself, I'm afraid it would be rather difficult to be too different, don't you agree? ;-) In any case, I've tried to change the text a bit and for sure Guido wouldn't raise any problems on the copyright of his biography!<br>You can ask Guido directly.--[[User:E-worker|E-worker]] 13:17, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
