:Good idea. Both Tutorial & Help pages will expand as we add more information. Feel free to set up the initial infobox overview/list/policy. We can build from there. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 10:57, 6 December 2006 (PST)

For starters, I've been so busy as an advertising copywriter since my internship there, that I hadn't bothered to change the bio.

What I was contacting you about, which you seem to have ignored in your message, is that you cannot copy Wikipedia articles, even just passages of Wikipedia articles, without acknowledging them as being under the GFDL-license.

Wikipedia articles are of course collaborated on by multiple, often hundreds of people each. Each person owns the copyright to whatever new content they add, whether it's a new paragraph, or just a punctuation mark. It's odd, but that's how it works. But anyway, it's all released under a free license, but one that ''needs'' to be acknowledged.

Articles on your site like [[Latitude]], [[Longitude]]. [[Portable Document Format]], [[Directory:Wikimedia Foundation]], [[Directory:The Walt Disney Company/Mickey Mouse]], [[Directory:Carl Sagan]], etc are all under this license.

You can use the map images, as they were created by the CIA, and thus are public domain. You should also credit the creators of images [[:Image:Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Movie Trailer Screenshot (16).jpg|like this]], which are under copyright by multi-national corporations.  --  [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 07:09, 8 December 2006 (PST)
