Copy and Paste issue

I suspect much or all of this article has been c&p-ed from elsewhere. In particular the "(pictured below)" in the "similar instruments" paragraph looks like this text was copied from elsewhere (where they also have pictures) and not vice versa. a quick google for that sentence gave this site with the exact same wording used : http://www.nscottrobinson.com/gallery/ghatam.php I have no idea where to look if this has maybe been copied with permmission.

besides, the whole "former exponents" paragraph - errm, wtf ? Does it really need to be in this article ? If so, please someone rewrite it.

but thanks for the article anyway, happy weekend everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.142.24.162 (talk) 14:13, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
