I don't agree.  Once copied back to Wikipedia the articles are open for
continued editing and expanding- for better or worse.  Then we have a
comprehensive comparison between the article as it was when taken from
Wikipedia, what it looked like when rewritten and given back, and the
current state. It could make for an interesting paper.   I don't think that
the Catalan Wikipedia just protects the articles and leaves them as done,
do they?
