I have concerns about whole parts of this article, as I found the same wording here. Compare:

“Ferries to IJmuiden” version “Wkipedia's version” of this article
IJmuiden is a fairly new town, that only came into existence in 1870 when the North Sea
Canal was dug, connecting the Amsterdam harbors to the open sea. Until this time the area
where IJmuiden now is located was known as "De Breesaap", a desolate plain where only a
handful of farmers tried to make a living. In 1851 the whole area was sold to the
entrepreneurs Bik and Arnold, which finally set into motion the plans that had been drawn up
already in 1626. The first spade hit the ground on the 8th of April 1865. 		IJmuiden is a fairly new town, that only came into existence in 1870

The "Noordzeekanaal" connects the North Sea with the IJ in Amsterdam. The IJmuiden name
literally means 'mouth of the IJ', which is a hint to the importance the town has for the
Amsterdam harbour. In 1890 it had about 1500 inhabitants, but boomed when the Hoogovens
steelworks settled here. The town is part of the municipality of Velsen and suffered heavy
damage and demolition in the war years because of its maritime importance. Already in the
Roman era this Velsen was inhabited and archeological finds indicate there was a North Sea
port built of regional importance. 		The "Noordzeekanaal" connects the North Sea with the IJ in

Important sights are the municipal hall designed by the famous architect Dudok and the North
Sea locks. The latter are among the largest in the world and one set is able to close off
a shipping lane of 50 meters wide and 12 meters deep. There are however plans to enlarge or
build a new set to facilitate even larger vessels. 		Important sights are the municipal hall designed by the famous

Impressive: six internal links, two references (one of which is obsolete) and one subtitle have been added! But the typo errors — some of them because of copy-pasting — are still there… This is obviously exactly the same text, without any correction… Is this not a copyright violation? ✓ Kanġi Oĥanko (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or rather, and much more likely, the six internal links have disappeared when the text from Wikipedia was selected wholesale and pasted into the ferry site... —Sladen (talk) 12:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
