Is this copyrighted? Just translating doesn't mean the copyright no longer applies. And why does this deserve a separate article instead of being part of the generic Copernicus article? -- Zoe

I took passages from the book, translated and added parts. It could be a link from the article. H. Jonat

This seems to come directly from the book. Helga, I have seen you write English, and I am sorry but this does not appear to be your writing. The rules of plagiarism are very clear. Please give some evidence that this is your own work, or it will have to be removed. Also, this certainly can be part of the generic Copernicus article. Danny

Danny, thank you for the compliment. But I read the book in German language at the German library. What more can I say !!! H. Jonat

No one would give a medieval Polish zloty about this if Copernicus hadn't figured out where the sun was. It should be boiled down to two paragraphs (at most) and stuck in the Copernicus article.Ortolan88

I agree - this level of detail is nauseating for an encyclopedia and only appropriate for a book (if that). This material needs to be boiled down to the basics and integrated elsewhere or else the whole thing will be moved to the meta (along with other essays). On top of this, the text does not appear to have been written by Helga and is probably academic, if not legal plagiarism - as Danny suggests. --mav 21:19 Jul 21, 2002 (PDT)

To maveric, Danny accepted my answer. You however go on insulting. I hope to get an apology. H. Jonat
