A link placed in this article takes one to a web site which is in breach of copyright, given that it steals data and statistics, copyright and database rights for which vest in Quizzing.co.uk (and its owners Quizzing Ltd.) and, in some cases, the International Quizzing Assoc. Ltd.. The owner of the offending website - who actually has the temerity to claim copyright of the misappropriated data for himself - had been instructed in writing by the IP owners to remove said material but had not done so within the quite reasonable time allowed him (see also the discussion page on Wikipedia concerning quizzing.co.uk). After consulting a Wikipedia volunteer, I have been given the go ahead to delete the link.

I also quote here from Wikipedia’s own page concerning ‘External Links’.

“External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. … linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us ...”

In this instance the person linking to the site was the same individual who had violated copyright in the first place!

A response to these allegations is posted here. Jw6aa 11:41, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The article mentions his "first-round score of 41, with 0 passes, remaining a record to this day". Surely 41 was his score for the full game? 41 questions in two minutes must be impossible.

Upon hearing it on Eggheads (and reading it here) I thought it referred to the first round of the whole mastermind tournament, as in the first show he appeared on in that series, the score of 41 being a total of the two game rounds (specialist subject and general knowledge) for that one show. Can anyone who can verifiably confirm what this line means clarify the wording maybe? Jastein 19:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right, it refers to the first round of the tournament, not of the individual heat. - Q4
