Copyright problem removed

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 22:59, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa, this edit was obviously done in good faith but the presumption is wrong. The [1] that you cited as a source actually copied the content from Wikipedia onto their page. I know because I was the one to write that section and I most certainly did not copy/paste anything from another website. I have written that section based on information from http://www.tourism.gov.bt/plan/visa and http://www.tourism.gov.bt/plan/faq by paraphrasing as much as I could. However the http://www.viewbhutan.com/#!bhutan-visa/cjtp is a copy/paste from Wikipedia. You did find a copy/paste violation, but it is in the other direction than what you have presumed. Thank you for your edit nonetheless.--Twofortnights (talk) 09:00, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Twofortnights. Thank you for catching this mistake. It's not always obvious who has copied from whom, as many web pages are not archived in the Wayback Machine, and thus are difficult if not impossible to date. -- Diannaa (talk) 14:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Diannaa, no problem at all. We should always be on the lookout.--Twofortnights (talk) 14:41, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
