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 ;)
