Removing them for copyright reasons sounds like a task for delete.py to me. Try
delete.py -file:pagelist.txt -summary:"Copyright reasons"
using replace.py, try
replace.py -file:pagelist.txt -regex -dotall ".*" ""
For more information, see http://www.regular-expressions.info/python.html and delete.py -help replace.py -help
and/or check your pywikipedia dir for interesting scripts ;)

Is there a way I can use replace.py to replace an entire page with certain text? There are pages I need to remove for copyright reasons, and I can list them in a file (to call with "-file:pagelist.txt").
I tried using *, for the search text, with and without quotation marks, but it didn't work - the command I used was of this form:
$ python replace.py -regex "*" "{{XYZ}}" -file:filelist.txt
Thanks!
