[edit] Rewrite
I don't like just copying a chunk out of the book, but the copyright does let us do that, I think.
The article does still need a rewrite and wikification, but there's no need for the copyright notice anymore. Miserlou 03:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- "Distributed for non-commerical reproduction" is not GFDL compliant. It is a copyright violation. Feel free to start writing a new article, but we can't use any of this text. —Keenan Pepper 03:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I bet you're a real douche. Miserlou 04:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Where's the line between a copyvio / license vio, and a reference to information in a book? How about email Shulgin and ask permission to use it? --Thoric 04:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm gonna try and get in touch with him . . . ask shulgin is down, apparently he's on sabbatical and writing a book. so i'm trying to obtain his email address at the moment. (If any one sees this and knows it, feel free to email it to me!) --He:ah? 22:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] copyright
Can the Shulgin Rating Scale itself be included in this article? It can be found in the history[1], with original copyright notice attached, and the text was found here. Reprinting it seems like it may be permissable under fair use, as it is scientific, encyclopedic information, consisting solely of the rating scale itself. --He:ah? 02:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] merger
i think we should give it a little while, Keenan. I don't see the problem with it remaining a stub until the copyright issue is sorted out, at the very least. --He:ah? 02:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- I've gotten kind permission from Dr. Shulgin to reprint the scale, so I am going to reinsert the text; I will remove the merger tags in a few days pending any discussion . . . --He:ah? 03:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

- It looks like you already removed it. I still think it should be merged. What's the point of having a separate article about this? How could this ever become a featured article? —Keenan Pepper 05:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

- I didn't remove it, i was going to wait. The point of having a seperate article is that this is a research method used by a notable scientist, throught several books as well as consulting work for the DEA and so on; It is the rating system generally used by people describing their experiences. With that said, I don't think it's absolutely imperative or obvious that this should be here. But i'm not sure where it says that articles have to be feature worthy in order to exist- Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Importance make no such claims. Where do you find this? --He:ah? 06:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Well done! Miserlou 04:03, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
