I just reviewed one change and then some alarm bells started when I saw
"bla bla [2] ...." without a reference to [2]. Googling I found the
complete paragraph in wikipedia which is IMHO not acceptable.

I abandoned this change so that it will not go in.

Do we need some large boilerplate somewhere that says "Do not copy
contents from anywhere - especially wikipedia?"
