Some possible copyright infringement issues with article

I've recently noticed that much of the text from this article is a word-for-word copy from another website, also about Salem, Ohio. The other webpage is: http://www.salemohio.com/tourism/index.html.

Can someone please verify that this information is permitted, according to Wikipedia standards? Thanks BFDhD 21:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)BFDhD[reply]

Is Salem Politically separate from Perry Township?

I emailed one of the Columbiana County Commissioners. I doubt they're going to check it what with the Holiday but I'm fairly Certain that once a Village reaches City Status They tend to sever their ties to the township . mostly to stop having to share property taxes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Captainkang (talk • contribs) 17:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC).Captainkang 17:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I understood it, Salem is a city. Perry Township is a township, and not under the jurisdiction of the city of Salem. See City on the link indicated. It may be the case that much of Salem's "population" lives in Perry Township, but they are not city residents. Likewise, Perry Township students may attend Salem City Schools, but they still live in Perry Township, not the City of Salem. To be a city, as the definition goes, Salem cannot be part of a "township," it stands alone. Salem is bordered by several townships listed here, and is IN Columbiana County, but it is nonetheless separate from Perry Township politically. The entry should be changed accordingly.

More copyvio

I deleted the History section, as it was substantially similar to copyrighted material. However, an editor persists in flagging this article as a violation of copyright. The article is not in violation of copyright en toto, as it follows the basic format of nearly every other Ohio city article on Wikipedia. Therefore, we need to know what sections are in violation of copyright, and how. Please note this here on the talk page. Thanks! -- SwissCelt 22:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
