while looking over An Unearthly Child I noticed part of Myths has gotten directly cut and pasted from the BBC site. I didn't go to the trouble of looking over everything. still, I wanted everyone to know so as to look out for this in other articles.

- The myths section does appear somewhat similar, but I think that the myths should have stayed in the article. The solution (rather than removing them) is to cite them correctly. As I think the information should still be in the article, but references from sources.
- I've actually grabbed a couple of reference books off the shelf, and found that it isn't really the BBC's information, it comes from The Television Companion by David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker (the copy I have is published in 1998).
- I've been looking through wikipedia's citation guidelines as I'm completely sure on how we should be about citing a large block of text like this, should it be re-written and then footnoted and cited or how exactly it should all be done. --Tangerineduel 06:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
