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 WWW.nationmaster.com, which
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 Wikipedia and where copyrights are held by our sources
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,
Thanks,
Steve
