Copyright?

Page was reworked by me in an attempt to overcome that. I'll go through it again to make sure. Bryan

Gotcha. I wonder how much "reworking" should be considered "ok"?

I don't actually know. In theory copyright only covers the specific expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves, but in practice I think the dividing line gets blurry sometimes. I tried to make every sentence substantially different from the original, moving information around and reorganizing, and also splicing in a few bits of information I found elsewhere. I guess since you "caught" me I didn't do a good enough job of it originally. That site listed above seems to be the only one Google can find that has substantial information about Smyth, though, so there wasn't much else to work with; there are only so many ways to say the same things.

Well, if you want it to appear not copied, at least you should take out the grammatical errors Kimiko 21:43 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)

Attempted to find and take photo of the grave. Unsuccessful. Need to talk to vicar to progress further. --Rbirkby 11:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
