Wikipedia checkbox

It is rather odd to be crediting Wikipedia for an article about ourselves. I have been through the history log and I think what happened is that very early on, someone imported the Wikipedia version to replace an original stub. Larry reverted that but didn't clear the checkbox... and it stuck. For three years. I am going to clear it now; restore it if there really is Wikipedia material in there (which there really, really shouldn't be.) John Stephenson 14:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's no better than the WP article on us! And similarly, it is completely out of date. I wonder, would it be better to delete it until someone write a proper original article? Martin Baldwin-Edwards 01:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
