This, the JBMO article, and the Cyprus mathematics competitions article both look suspiciously like their Wikipedia counterparts, which is not good, and needs to be rectified. Also, why does it start saying "JBMO" instead of "BMO" about halfway through the timeline? I'm assuming it's a typo at heart. Also, could someone please provide more information on the format, etc., and maybe an official website? —Boy Soprano II 16:33, 5 November 2006 (EST)

In fact, the Wikipedia page and this page were both authored in large part by the same person. I'm not sure what the AoPS rules are on this (I rather doubt they exist), but we aren't just "taking" wikipedia content; rather, the same person has added the same (or very similar) content in two separate places. I think I'm going to go with "this is no big deal." --JBL 20:34, 5 November 2006 (EST)

Oh! I did not realize that. In that case, I agree with you, especially since some content is present here that is not on the Wikipedia site. —Boy Soprano II 20:38, 6 November 2006 (EST)
