Talk:Ethmoid bone

Comments on notice:This article is based on an entry from the 1918 edition of Gray's Anatomy, which is in the public domain. As such, some of the information contained herein may be outdated. Please edit the article if this is the case, and feel free to remove this notice when it is no longer relevant.
I'd like to suggest some changes in wording:
- Is the article "based on" or "copied from" Gray's Anatomy? If it's "based on" then Gray's Anatomy should be cited as a source, and that source notation should NEVER be removed: it will be relevant unless the article is completely rewritten without reference to the previous article or to Gray's. This is an issue of citing sources (i.e. plagiarism) rather than of legality (i.e. copyright). If it is "copied from" then we should say so, and those particular words can change if substantial article changes are made, but Gray's still should be cited as a source...forever.
- So I'd also think that "feel free to remove this notice when it is no longer relevant" needs to go, except in reference to "copied from"
- And (parenthetically), anatomy is not such a vibrant field that 100 year old information is particularly outdated. 100 year old language might be, but I'm not sure why we want to suggest that there have been exciting new advances in anatomic information that we've missed.... :) -- Someone else 05:39, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)
