This points to a need for a policy on procedures when someone suspects a copyright violation. I suspect that this issue will arise more frequently as Wikipedia becomes bigger. It doesn't do to have members deleting articles on the mere suspicion that it may violate copyright.
Well, we can start by experimenting with potential policies on [[Duesseldorf]] and [[Great Sandy desert]], both of which are recent additions to the wiki which include text that is duplicated verbatim on/from an external website without a citation.
My first step was to ask in the Talk: page about source & copyright status, noting the similarity with given URLs.
