[edit] Copyright Vio

An IP keeps adding copying and pasting information from here to the article. I am replying on the talk page of the article because it's been a few different IPs that have been doing this. In anycase I received a message on my talk page stating that they were the original author of the material on the EDUCAUSE page, which is being copied to here. In any case the website states:

Unless otherwise noted, EDUCAUSE holds the copyright on all materials published by the association, whether in print or electronic form. In certain cases the work remains the intellectual property of the individual author(s) (see Special Circumstances below). These are noted where appropriate. In general, permission to copy or disseminate EDUCAUSE materials, either print or electronic, is granted if the following conditions are met:

  • copies are not made or distributed for commercial advantage
  • the EDUCAUSE copyright and its date appear on the reproduced materials
  • notice is given that copying is by permission of EDUCAUSE

To disseminate otherwise, or to republish, requires written permission.

The page itself makes no notations as to the authorship of the information besides the fact that it is copyrighted to EDUCAUSE. Anything used on wikipedia must be used under fair use, For content to be "free", there must be no significant legal restriction on its use, redistribution or modification, for any purpose. So basically until EDUCAUSE releases the information and states so according to wikipedia policy the information does not belong on here unless its been rewritten. I am going to revert this copyvio one more time and if any IPs attempt to reinstate it without further discussion on the talk page I will report them. Thank you. --ImmortalGoddezz 19:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References needed,

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.
