[edit] Welcome

Hello! I've noticed that you have edited Wikipedia without logging in to an account. I'm happy that you've been contributing. However, I urge you to create an account. Here is a list of the benefits of having an account:

There are no cons to signing up for an account. In fact, there are more pros here! Signing up is completely free and you don't need to enter any personal information! Plus you can have a user page like mine! So, unless you can think of a con, sign up for an account right now! Marlith T/C 17:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Debate

"Fair use" is not enshrined in British law -- that's an American thing.
That's a laugh. Britian DOES have copyright laws (And the site has broken none of them) and had them long before America existed. Do you even bother to cheak things before you waffle on about them?
Your colleague has already given an example of lack of attribution.
He lied. The real author is clearly stated on the page if you'd bothered to look. And the source stated on the main news page (although you'd have to go into the history to look for it.)
And you can prove that copyright holds after publication by simply going down to your local newsagents and looking in a few magazines.
Strawman argument. I never said it did, liar. I asked if these where under copyright to begin with, which is questionable in some instances and I suppose a moot point anyway, and so far no one has answered. Maybe because the answer was not what you would like to hear? Still I grow tired of these games. Please give an example of where the site has broken British copyright laws as that's the only thing preventing inclusion or concede the issue. I gave the rules on the article talk page. You must realise how dishonest it is to claim things that are not true, or if it is true why not prove it to me? Nubula (talk) 18:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
While I would like to continue this, I've got places I need to be and will not be back online until sometime tomorrow so please don't assume that a lack of response from me tonight means I don't intend to answer. Although if I don't get the evidence I asked for or an explination of how I've missunderstood British Law from you by tommorow, I'll re-add the link to the Primeval main page and keep adding until kingdom come regardless of how many times you remove it.
