Note For Top Gun and the reviewing admin, the discussions and specific copyvio accusations are at
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive202#Block_evasion.2C_continuing_copyvio and most recently from .  Et tu, Brute? 

Note on the request: I’d trade the apologies for some indication of understanding of what’s wrong with copying from news agency reports and miscellaneous websites and a credible promise never to do it again. As for the mess that needs to be cleaned up, per the Wikipedia:Copyrights policy, material that infringes on others’ copyright must be removed. This includes material that has since been modified. See the mess now? —n
