Bryce Harrington has attached a copyright notice to the [[Oregon City, Oregon]] page. Since the time of the copyright notice, Ram-Man's bot went in and added several paragraphs, making the vast majority of the article not part of Bryce's copyrighted material. There is nothing on the page which indicates which parts are copyrighted by Bryce and which are not.

Is there any particular reason, known by anyone, as to why Bryce did that? Is he on this mailing list?
I would suggest that, as a matter of policy, we should just delete Bryce's portion of the article, and not generally allow people to do this. The danger of having tons of this kind of invariant section is great, and the benefit is virtually nil.
But Bryce is a good guy, and perhaps he wanted to make a statement. Maybe he will tell us what the statement is.
