Talk:List of ecoregions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It most certainly would be a copyright violation to copy and paste information from another site to this site. Kingturtle 15:30, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Quoting the essential information (i.e. names of ecoregions) should be okay. Just don't copy the layouts, images. On the other hand, though, is such a list necessary in Wikipedia so long as the WWF provides one? A-giau 20:11, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Copyright problems can be avoided for the reasons given above, particulalry if we note in the introduction that the list was compiled by WWF . The list would make a fabulous jumping-off point for articles about each region - I came to this page from Wordl economy and was curious about the regions. So I'm going to start compiling the list; I need a good long-term project to keep me from straying over to New Pages and getting enraged by all the vandalism and idiocy there! - DavidWBrooks 18:14, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It should be ok. Facts can't be copyrighted, and a geographic names are just that. --Yuje 13:13, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

It would also be nice to be able to wiki-link to pages on specific WWF ecoregions, even if the page was little more than a stub with a link to the WWF's pages. This page's list seems incomplete, I couldn't find Ozark Mountain Forests, ...adding. Pfly 16:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
