As much as I hate to admit it, they have a point this time. We can't
just accept every demand to take down a page and leave it down for a
fortnight. I don't have access to OTRS, so I don't know what this was
about, but from the talk page it would appear to be related to
trademark issues. Since when have encyclopedias been restricted from
using trademarked terms? We're not selling lava lamps, we're just
talking about them - IANAL, but I'm pretty sure trademark law does not
apply.
