And you are wrong. That would apply if I AfD'd the article, but what
I said was that the list is, in my view, copyvio, we can give some
examples from each category but we should not repeat in its
entirety a list which is the creative work of someone else.
Here's what you wrote in your initial email on this subject (at

Original research? You decide.
Copyright? I think so, but what do I know?
Fancruft? Ooooh, tricky :-)
The smiley on the fancruft question implies that you're being sarcastic, so you
don't in fact find it to be a tricky question. I guess that could mean that you think
it's obviously _not_ fancruft, but I somehow doubt that. Why even bring it up if that
was the case?
