Talk:Lake pike

The present version of the entry (and all the recent fish entries by 62.98.137.xxx) is identical to the excerpt from "A Boys'own Book of Outdoor Sports" online at:

It's an old source - but is it okay to copy it this way? --Css

Depends how old. The article you linked says "early 1900s", which is probably out of copyright. If so, we can use it. We can also edit it as mercilessly as we would any new material. Vicki Rosenzweig

I agree. I would rather have 62.98 (discriminating editor that he is) working on cooking and fishing than on some of his other ventures that have led to claims of vandalism. The positive view is that he is opening up many topics for discussion which most of us might never think of starting. Saying that they need merciless editing, however, may be an understatement.
