As I've said, "if not one then the other" ignores the fact that
Wikipedia's
definition of "original research" is not the same as any legal definition
related to copyright. It does *not* follow that if not one then the other.
But
my fundamental reason for removing it is copyright, and if the BBC
says it is not copyright then I will add it back. I have asked them.
Why? You claim that either it's copyright, or it's OR. If you truly
believed this, surely if the BBC says it is not copyright, you would conclude
it's OR and still leave it out for that reason.
(And what are we doing using British copyright laws in a Wikipedia run in the
US anyway? Surely the BBC won't tell you if it's copyright under *American*
law.)
