I have been removing text to talk, generally concerning the Ottoman
Empire (articles on the Ottoman Triumvirate, Suleiman the Magnificent,
Ormus, etc.). These seem to be plagiarized from
<a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/" eudora="autourl">WWW.nationmaster.com</a>,
which <br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>holds copyright on all aspects of
this site (including but not limited to content and layout), with the
exception of the text from articles taken from
<font color="#0000FF"><u>Wikipedia</u></font> and where copyrights are
held by our sources</blockquote>Before I remove any more text to talk,
I'd appreciate it if someone can check this for me. As far as I can
tell, the text in the nationmaster encyclopedia is not attributed to
Wikipedia, so I have assumed that one of our contributors has been
copying from them, rather than vice versa. But I'd appreciate it if
someone else can look into this further before I make any more
changes,<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
