I do not understand why the page would be deleted for copyright infringement. The text was documented with basic references including books and scientific journal papers, and the references are used to justify and support the statements. I add that I did not lace a reference on every sentences because the process is heavy-handed and not appropriate in scientic writing.

In the last 20 years, I have written over 1,200 pages of scientific writings on stepped spillways, including 2 books, 5 book chapters and over 35 journal articles. Inthe wikipedia entry, I tried to condense the key matters of interest to the general public as part of a broad-based database like Wikipedia.

Please provide me with some clear explanations and examples; it would hep to follow your logic.

I could recommend that you seek an independent opinion and possibly contribution from anothr expert on the topic like Professor Jorge Matos at the School of Civil Engineering, IST Lisbon, Portugal. is email address is {jorge.matos@oniduo.pt}.

I tagged the article originally because each sentence in it that I tested in Google turned out to have appeared somewhere else. I hadn't noticed at the time that the sources in question were written by you. If anyone else had written the article as I found it, it would have been, absent permission from you, a possible copyright infringement that needed to be removed. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
