At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cool_Wall we had a complete list
of cars which appear on the BBC Top Gear "Cool Wall". I removed this
as being almost certainly a violation of copyright. It is now being
argued that reproducing the list in full does not violate copyright,
because it is not published in the show's magazine or on the website
and has been compiled by collating the lists from numerous shows. It
is further asserted that compiling the list from these shows does not
constitute original research, although there is no known reliable
secondary source for any of the data, let alone the complete collated
list
Original research? You decide.
Copyright? I think so, but what do I know?
Fancruft? Ooooh, tricky :-)
Guidance appreciated.

Why is the edit conflict process so painful? When I get EC'd, it usually
takes 20-30 seconds to work itself out and I typically get a JavaScript
error to boot. Isn't there an easier way of handling edit conflicts that
doesn't shut down a browser for up to 30 seconds on a brand new machine?

I post this to the working list, because I want to opine, and I want to
draw some attention to what I believe is a bad trend. I've read some
RFA's and the recent RFB. I asked Riana if I could use her RFB as an
example. I'm not asking anyone to go support or oppose it, you all can
do that on your on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_bureaucratship/Riana
When I look at some of the opposes and Neutrals, primarily the ones by
Animate and FM, I get a little confused. (regarding the KM nomination)
Since when did RFA and RFB become political and not about trust and
abuse potential? It seems these discussions have evolved away from
that. After reading Jimbo's opinion on the matter, and this was made,
what a few years back, perhaps he should go semi nilly willy.
I mean what do you have to do anyway, judge RFA, renames, bots on advice
of BAG. How does kelly martins rfa nomination translate here. It does not.
Any project can use good custodians, but damn, the bar is high.

I am a National Team player for Canada Basketball. I noticed that Wikipedia
did not contain any information about Canada Basketball. I attempted to
create an entry but my posting keeps getting taken down.
Can anyone tell me why??

I was responding to the follow-up question of whether this is a *working*
list.
To me that implies, whiteboarding of wiki-content.
