Template:CHL Arena Guide (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Previously nominated a week ago but no one voted; I'm listing it on WP:HOCKEY so hopefully someone will vote this time. Template is little-used and is also unnecessary as its content is already covered in Template:WHL Arenas, Template:OHL Arenas and Template:QMJHL Arenas. BoojiBoy 14:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I cant think of a single instance where a listing of arenas across three leagues is more useful than using the league specific templates. Resolute 17:09, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User copyright (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Arguably T1. There is no such thing as copyright paranoia. By virtue of Wikipedia's mission, we cannot be a clearinghouse of copyright violations. Userboxes like this only WP:BEANS inexperienced users into ignoring copyrights and uploading anything they feel like. BigDT 14:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, you're probably right. I have no problems with respecting copyrights, but if an image is 100 years old and nobody knows who created it, I consider it to be in the clear. I've updated my own userpage to make that a bit clearer. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 16:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Wikipedia's copyright policy is not the "only lawfully correct" policy, mainly because it takes the step of drastically limiting the rights of Wikipedia and it's users well beyond what copyright law requires, out of paranoia about lawsuits. The userbox is absolutely correct. I've watched many, many copyright policy-based deletions go forward that would have clearly fallen under fair use under United States law.

  • Comment It should be observed that there are those of us who strongly support copyright, at least as applied to that work which we might, in the course of our lives, undertake, but nevertheless believe it fine for Wikipedia to infringe on copyright and to view certain content as de facto free where it is altogether unlikely that any legal challenge would be essayed (toward which, for example, one might see the mailing list discussion that followed from this post), so some might use the box to convey that they think our principle of free reusability ought to be tweaked, which profession would surely be permissible as a good-faith expression of an idea one thinks the community ought to adopt (this discussion, of course, is, or ought to be, tangential to the TfD, but it ought at least to be observed that one's being resistant to the...lawfully correct[...]application of copyright is not irreconcilable with one's being a good 'pedian.

Template:Wikibooksarticle (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template isn't transcluded on a single article. It's purpose is to reference topics which Wikipedia doesn't have articles on ... in which case there would hardly be an article to reference from! Swift 02:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
