The material on this page appears to come from [www.mro.org/zmm/trainingstaff/], which lists it as copyrighted. If the user who placed it here has permission to release it under the GFDL license, please let me know, otherwise I will have to put it up as a copyright violation. - Nat Krause 06:00, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Note that this comment of mine refers to an earlier version of this article, which was deleted because it was a copyright violation. It has since been rewritten. - Nat Krause 10:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Note further that the page was completely rewritten the day after my above comment. I am restoring the old version, because a) it's copyrighted. The person who put it here might own the copyright—who knows?—but, if so, he or she should at least do us the favor of clarifying this (same goes for the picture); also, b) the copy from a website is natural promotional in tone and therefore less encyclopedic. - Nat Krause 20:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

i think the page was put up by the monastry so its really publicity, won't be any copyright issues. in fact his claim to fame is as one of the centuries leading photographers, not well known as such but they have a brillance that will last. Osip7315 13:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

True, Loori is a photographer. A leading photographer? That's highly subjective. Sometimes I get the feeling you think Wikipedia is nothing more than an Amazon.com review. You insert so much personal opinion into contributions you make. Osip, do you even know the difference between objectivity and subjectivity? Do you know why such a grasp of this difference is so important when it comes to encyclopedic authorship on a website such as this? By the way, I agree with Nat. Blatant copy/paste jobs from others websites should be removed unless they are explicitly posted by the actual author of the original.
