> Where is in the policies the instruction to delete copyvios frm history?

 Hm, I thought of Wikipedia:Possible copyright violations, where it says:

Replace the article's text with new (re-written) content of your own: This can be done on a temp page, so that the original ""copyvio version"" may be deleted by a sysop. Temp versions should be written at a page like: [[PAGE NAME/temp]]. If the original turns out to be not a copyvio, these two can be merged.

 I don't quite get the McCarthy reference... and anyway, my question was genuine. I didn't want to upset you. BTW, I can't delete and deal with copyvios myself—I am not an admin.  09:52, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)"
