I originally placed the copyvio tag on that article because the exact text was found on http://www.deepeddy.org/pool.html. Upon Further investigation, it is found that that website pulled their information from the English Wikipedia. The original article creation date is 19:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC). According to Archive.org, on 05/07/2006 the only thing that existed of that website was this: Friends of Deep Eddy on Archive.org. Their page looks like it has always had the © Copyright 2005 FODE at the bottom of it, even with no text. So my conclusion is they pulled the text from us, and then declared it was copy written under them, which violates the GFDL under which this work is held.

Therefore, I have rolled back my own edit, addition of the Copyvio Template. Dillard421♂♂ ^{(talk to me)} 15:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
