Shoulder pain…

Last couple of weeks I’ve had some pain in my shoulder. I think it started after I got my medicine balls–perhaps I overdid it for a couple of workouts.

Today I start doing some research on shoulder pain and came across this wikipedia page which was really comprehensive. I thought, dang… who the heck is writing this page. This feels too good to be in Wikipedia frankly.

So, I clicked on the discussion pages and the history and found out that the page had a very small number of edits for the first three years (2003-2005), and less than 100 edits overall. This article cold not have a been created with that small a number of edits.

Then I looked at the first edit and it seems the person cut and pasted this NIH article to make the Wikipedia article…
http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/shoulderprobs/shoulderqa.htm

Someone questioned if this was really public domain on the talk page, but doesn’t seem like they resolved the issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Shoulder_problems

Interesting.
