<noinclude> {{WC contents back}} ---- <br> {{WaterCoolerPages|Policy Discussion|The '''policy''' section of the water cooler is used to discuss existing and proposed policies and guidelines.<br>If you want to propose something new, use the ''[[Centiare:Water Cooler (proposals)|proposals]]'' section.<br>}} </noinclude> __TOC__ ==Legal notes== Note that persons within Directory listings using infobox_person should provide contact & reference information. That because even if they're dead, by definition, if they're within the Directory namespace, that means they have commercial value; ergo there should be contact info + reference information. For example, [[Directory:Carl Sagan|Carl Sagan]] has a link to his estate that generates licensing revenue from his name/works/image. OTOH, Newton is public domain, so he shouldn't be listed under Directory - rather, he should be included within Main page articles. I guess we (interested?) could create another infobox_person for Main page entries - ie no longer any commercial rights. There's a lot of stuff in infobox_person that could be cleaned up/removed to create a new version for non-commercial public figures. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 12:30, 3 December 2006 (PST)
