This looks like a copyvio from http://ccr.meteor.wisc.edu/bryson/bryson.html William M. Connolley 17:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That may have been when I created the article. It is extremely sparse and summarized. I doubt if this violates any copyright. ^ross ^nixon 01:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If my understanding of copyright is correct, fair use assesses the right to copy a small percentage of a text (small not being defined, and varying on the importance of the copied parts). The original "interesting part" of the source is roughly 3k chars, the disputed part of the article is roughly 1000 chars (although some of it has been rewritten). It is not a blatant copyvio, but I believe it still qualifies as one. -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed or rewritten all of the copied text. --Butseriouslyfolks 03:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks William M. Connolley 08:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to follow this link [1] but it was dead. I found another link to a magazine article profiling Bryson, and substituted that. It may not be the same as the lost linked content - I'll never know. Anyway at least this link resolves. Birdbrainscan 22:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
