Provenance of this article
Note about license: The original version of any wiki-formatted article about the Arch Coal company was authored in September 2006 by Gregory Kohs and released under the terms of the GFDL on this website, MyWikiBiz.com. It was then copied into Wikipedia under the same GFDL terms. In October 2006, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales acted to delete the article from Wikipedia, but the Wikipedia community determined that Wales' action had been unjustified. The article was revised, largely by "User:JzG" (Guy Chapman, a volunteer administrator on Wikipedia). However, in January 2008, Kohs demonstrated to Chapman that the article as modified by him (User:JzG) actually plagiarized many aspects of the original. Faced with that evidence, Chapman elected to cover up his misdeed by deleting the original edits on the Wikipedia site, thus making the provenance of the article appear to have come from Chapman, and not from MyWikiBiz. When Jimmy Wales was notified about this violation of professional ethics and proper GFDL attribution of the edit history, after days of waffling on the issue, Wales very reluctantly restored the original edit history, with the childish edit summary, "might as well restore all of it I suppose".
Additional comment: When in December 2008, Gregory Kohs sought to improve the article about Arch Coal on Wikipedia, his improvements were reverted back by a mindless administrator from Belgium. This underscores the true system of editorial control on Wikipedia -- it matters not the content of your edits, but rather who authors the content. (Which, of course, directly contradicts Wikipedia's "stated" mission that "anyone can edit".)
