User:WonYong, who insisted that the contents of Wikipedia should be
restricted by National Security Law weeks ago (
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2006-January/043321.html
), claims that copyrighted images can be uploaded to Korean Wikipedia
and Wikimedia Commons, through "quotation policy."
Some months ago, WonYong wanted to upload image files from South
Korean government, but found that they are copyrighted and not allowed
to be uploaded. Now he came up with a new (proposed) policy that
allows uploading almost any image files. His point is that even
copyrighted images can be _quoted_ in Wikipedia articles, just like
citations in academic articles. He says that he won't no longer need
fair use, which he had proposed in Korean Wikipedia before.
South Korean copyright law states that publicized materials may be
quoted for report, research, or educational purposes, within a
reasonable scope. A bulletin board in the Copyright Discussion and
Arbitration Committee website (http://copyright.or.kr/) answered that
this "quotation" article of the bill is not suitable for writing
encyclopedias.
The problem is that he pushes his policy in not only Korean Wikipedia
but Wikimedia Commons. He says he distrusts copyright.or.kr, and
doubts that other Wikipedians and those in Commons do have "legal
mind."

Hello
Could somebody tell me please how to change the
style of my title in my wiki? I would like to have
"index.php\Title" instead of "index.php?title=Title".
I don't even know if this is a PHP/Apache
configuration issue or does it come from a bad wiki
setup. PLZ help and thanks in advance.
Sincerely, Levente
