I enjoyed the articles I have read on 'Lechuguilla Cave'. I only wish I could correspond with some of the people who have been inside 'Lechuguilla Cave'. It would be a real honor

[edit] stolen dialogue

exact wording of most of the article stolen from government site http://www.nps.gov/archive/cave/lech.htm I accredit AnonMoos who chooses what stays and what doesnt in Wikipedia. I move we ban Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elijah Michael (talk • contribs) 15:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

I put a citation on each of the paragraphs taken from that site. At this point I am assuming the copying is allowed because it is from a work published by an agency of the US government that is in the public domain. Burlywood 18:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Is there any information regarding the legitimacy of the current image from the BBC? I suspect it is not licensed although I doubt the BBC would seek to have it removed. We should try to find other images that may be used with more legal saftey.~~ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob cowie (talk • contribs).

Well it's a fair use image from a TV program. If you have a non-fair use image that would be better of course. I looked around and could not find any, so I took a screenshot from the program and uploaded it. I think this is ok, if it's not then I'll remove it again. jacoplane 22:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
To clarify, the fair use disclaimer states the image can be used "for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents". Since the Lechuguilla Cave is a large part of the contents of the program I assumed it would be ok to use it in this article. jacoplane 22:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
That's cool. I agree with you. what I should have asked is, does US Copyright Law apply to images whose copyright belongs to non-US entities? Rob cowie 18:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
