Copyright problem removed

One or more portions of this article duplicated other source(s). The material was copied from: http://web.archive.org/web/20070926233453/http://www.guardian.co.tt/archives/2004-12-03/SA-7.html. Additional material duplicated content published at [1]; while the archived version of that page postdates the addition of the content, there can be no doubt which came first, as the contributor linked to it in edit of 08:01, 13 August 2007.

@Moonriddengirl: This section of achievements was added by an IP in 2015. Was it the same copyvio you deleted earlier from the history? I can find same stuff ditto at http://www.sportarchivestt.com/athletes/michael-agostini/ Or is this a different stuff but still should be deleted as copyvio? Pinging @SpacemanSpiff: as well as MRG seems away from few days. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

It's a factual list, and I'm hazy on the threshold of acceptability for such -- I think it's a bit too much and should be removed but will let MRG or Diannaa weigh in on that. —SpacemanSpiff 16:34, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

The material removed in 2010 was twelve paragraphs of prose copied from here by user:Darius Dhlomo, who was blocked in September 2010 for repeated copyright violations. The CCI case can be found here. Regarding the list of achievements, it's kind of a borderline case but in my opinion it's over the line. I think it should be reworked into prose to solve the issue. "He was the Trinidad and Tobago champion in multiple distances in the period 1952-1960, winning a total of six national titles in the 100m, 200m, and 400m distances. He won a gold medal at the 1954 Commonwealth Games, the first Trinidadian to do so. At the Pan American Games, he won two bronze medals (1955 and 1959) and one silver (1960)." Etc. — Diannaa (talk) 18:06, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks @Diannaa and SpacemanSpiff: Removed that, worded it, expanded it and DYK nomed it. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:17, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
