 :The first phrasing has been present in this article since my edit of October 2004. As far as I can remember, the sentence was original writing (although not original research; it was a one-sentence summary of the sources available to me at the time; keep in mind that standards for citations were different in 2004.). In 2004, politicaldictionary.com effectively did not exist (according to archive.org, it was owned by a domain squatter back then), and if you browse that site today you'll find that most of the articles are thin paraphrases of English Wikipedia content. It is highly likely that the site plagiarized Wikipedia, not the other way around.
