[edit] Historical Association

An odd one. The name and the text are generic enough I can't prove it exists. The Royal Historical Society and the American Historical Association both have articles and this refers to neither (its cat'ed as a British Organization). Delete unless someone can prove what it is.

• Delete. No context. Pburka 19:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Vote withdrawn based on new information. Pburka 00:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It appears to be a real association, in Britain, with a focus on secondary education and local history. Historical Association Website Joaquin Murietta 19:21, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • In that case, it's a copyvio of the above website. Pburka 19:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Not clear on Wiki rules, but did the website have a copyright? or is is public domain? Joaquin Murietta 20:30, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Every website is specifically copyright protected unless they explicitly release the information to public domain and/or GFDL. With no copyright claim, copyright is assumed. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Thank you for explaining this. Do you think we should rewrite the page to avoide the copyright problems? Joaquin Murietta 23:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely odd. Apparently has H.M. The Queen as patron!!! Dlyons493 Talk 19:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Osomec 21:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• We can't keep copyright violations. Since nobody bothered to list it as such, I have done so. Case closed. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:26, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I rewrote it at: Historical Association/Temp Not sure about the second sentence. Comments por favor? Joaquin Murietta 00:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I withdraw based on above. Joaquin, if you'd like to close this please do and place your text in place. Marskell 22:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
