If you ask me, "http://www.membranes.co.il/about/founders-and-advisors/" copied the content from WP.... --Sreifa (talk) 06:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

That has crossed my mind. I'm much less certain this article is a copyvio than the others that have been blanked. Mainly because I can't find any other obvious source material. Can you remember back to when you wrote the article what you might have been using as source material? --Mkativerata (talk) 07:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
It seems to me that the identified source probably was copied from Wikipedia. This article, it seems to me, heavily borrows on this Word document. They do not seem to have copied from us, as our article is more up to date than theirs. They refer to an event in 2005 as "recent" and do not mention her honorary doctorate. There are spacing and typographical errors in that document which do not exist in ours, which make copying less likely. They also refer to the subject as OK, which required that one or the other deliberately change the name in each instance. There doesn't seem to be a reason for them to do so. :/ The document is hosted by The Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.


Given the requirement of copyright policy that we not take chances, the content has been removed pending some additional evidence that we had it first. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:39, 11 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

You can't copy text from a website. The website's text is almost certainly subject to copyright (see WP:COPYOTHERS). --Mkativerata (talk) 09:38, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
