Same text in several articles

The articles on Wola Sękowa, Zboiska, Sanok County, Wola Piotrowa all contain more or less the same text:

<place> (sometimes incorrectly given - VM) was founded in <year> by Bals de Lobetanz family. From 966-1018, 1340-1772 (Ruthenian Voivodeship, Sanoker County) (these years and the voivodeship are always given as same, even if a place didn't exist at a a particular time- VM) and during 1918-1939 <place> was part of Poland. While during 1772-1918 it belonged to Austrian empire, later Austrian-Hungarian empire when double monarchy was introduced in Austria. This part of Poland was controlled by Austria for almost 120 years. At that time the area (including west and east of Subcarpathian Voivodship) was known as Galicia. In 1785 the village lands comprised 6 1 lan (this size is always given identically for different places - VM). There were 50 Greek Catholics, 267 Roman Catholics and 5 Jews. In 1899 the village lands comprised 3,43 km². There were 49 Greek Catholics, 431 Roman Catholics, and 10 Jews.(The population is given as same for various places - VM) The cemetery has a few headstones in it. The rural families are poor, agriculture is rarely profitable and low income makes it difficult for farms to invest in from improvements.(This also appears identically in all these articles)

This looks like a copyvio though I can't find the source. Even if not I am removing it per WP:HOAX from all the relevant articles (I'm guessing that it's true for one of these places and then Silar just copy pasted same text into others).VolunteerMarek 22:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
