[edit] Swastika

It seems the text you have taken from that website was clearly a copyright violation (unless you are the author, of course). I have removed the verbatim quote for now, but feel free to summarize the information in you own words! [[User:Dbachmann|dab (T) ]] 22:04, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I am the author--Bob Kobres--and both of the images were created by me. The Han silk image is a very degraded bitonal of a portion of the artifact (academic fair use) and has been on my website for years--the other image is entirely my creation. http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/bronze.html

fine. In this case, of course, we are not dealing with copyright violation. I hope, however, that you realize that your text will be "edited mercilessly and redistributed at will"; i. e. it will have to be wikified, and also rephrased to fit in the flow of the article, seeing that your article does not primarily deal with the swastika. I encourage you, however, to put the entire text on a new article, Comets and the Bronze Age Collapse, to which we could link from Swastkia. regards, [[User:Dbachmann|dab (T) ]] 15:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you have any comments to add to the discussion about your recent additions to this page. I for one think there is now too much bird-foot theory. Perhaps it could go in a spin-off article. The images from Schliemann are very useful and it might be desirable to discuss his reading of them as "swastikas" in realition to other possible accounts, but there's always been a tendency for this article to go off on tangents, and we have to keep that under control.

[edit] External links

I note you are adding a large number of external links to the University of Georgia's archives. In general, this is very useful. However, there are a few things you should take into consideration:

  1. The customary heading for the section is ==External links==
  2. "Java" is not an acronym, it's a proper noun, so only the first letter should be capitalized.
  3. Be careful about what articles you add the links to: for example, you added a link to a collection of WWI and WWII posters to the World War article. However, the article was about large-scale wars in general, so such a specific link was out of place. I've moved it to the article on Propaganda.

[edit] Copyright at Consumers' cooperative question

Please tag the long extract from Co-operation with a footnote explaining why you think it is public domain. I am concerned it may still be copyright its original author, as it is around 72 years old. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
