i) I added an example villanelle and [[villanelle/Example]] and I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear on copyright. But IANALNDIPOOTV[0], so can someone with the appropriate smarts check it out. I put the relevant dates on.
ii)Someone asked about pictures of [[Blind Blake]] on [[Blind Blake/Talk]] I found the only one in existence[1] (which dates from 1930) but have no idea how to check its copyright status. Anyone?
Sorry for sending so much to wikipedia-l today. I'll stop now, and go home for dinner and Seinfeld reruns (it is 8pm).

I'd just like to put Gareth's new sig into context:
"Wikipedia does rock. By the count on the "brilliant prose" page, there are 14 not-bad articles so far" -- Larry Sanger (12 Jan 2001)
:-) As you can see, this was written on January 10, just two days after Wikipedia was set up and announced. This was very exciting to me because at the time we had garnered, oh, I don't know, about 14 articles on Nupedia. So the fact that Wikipedia had gained the same number of not-bad articles in two days that Nupedia had gained over the previous 11 months was, well, pretty exciting. :-)
Just thought you might enjoy the background, that's all. :-)
