I removed text that was exactly the same as text at http://www.heliaust.com.au/piper.html . If there was permission for us to use and modify this text under terms of our license then please indicate so here. --mav
The information you removed was basically factual information, available from many sources.The text referenced above is NOT authoritative nor has any explicit copyright. In fact, I didn't use it. I used another source of information, which also did not have copyright limitations.
Also, I disagree with your insertion about the "notoriety" -- it was NOT the airplane that became notorious; in fact, it was Kennedy the pilot who became notorious, because of his relative lack of IFR/nigh-VFR training.
What is appropriate content for Wikipedia -- factual information, available from many sources, or opinionated information, such as might be available from uninformed media? --Alan
- Whether or not the information is factual has zero bearing on whether or not the text was copyrighted. Information can not be copyrighted but the artistic expression of the information in text is automatically copyrighted when it is written. In fact an author must explicitly give-up copyright in order to have the text placed in the public domain. Please feel free to rewrite the text in your own words (sic your own artistic expression) and re-add the information. BTW all I did was delete the offending paragraphs. Check the article history for the person who inserted the passage you are talking about. --mav
