Copyright problem removed

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.lenasialivestock.co.za/sheep2.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.

Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly.

Don't know how it could be a copyvio when the site clearly says - Meatmaster information source: Wikipedia173.216.248.174 (talk) 03:07, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The site says that now, but it didn't say so in August, as this archived version shows. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:32, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: Now that it should be clear that the content added to this article has not been copied from elsewhere (there are also [1] Wikipedia <ref>s in the archived version), should it be restored? There is also a related OTRS ticket. (Welcome to the team BTW!) FDMS 4 14:24, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, FDMS4. About the only thing that I'm completely sure of about this is that I have made a mistake here; the OTRS ticket makes that very clear to me. For that mistake I apologise unreservedly to Justice Malanot. I'm going to ask Moonriddengirl to decide whether the hidden revisions of the article history should, as seems likely, now be restored. I can't at present see the former content, so can't comment on whether it belongs in the article, nor if it was similar to, say, content previously published on Facebook. If it is original content well supported by independent reliable sources then it should very possibly be restored; perhaps MRG will be kind enough to comment on that also?

The OTRS ticket is pretty clear. I've undeleted the revisions. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:25, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
