I'm assuming there's a really good reason this specific article is being discussed on
the list rather than at the relevant talk page?
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Commodore_(rank)
And a similar reason why the issue of copyvios in article histories isn't being
discussed at the cunningly named:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_violations_on_history_pages
And the complex process of asking GFDL permission is presumably something quite
different to that discussed at:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Boilerplate_request_for_permission
And the current community-decided process for deleting possible copyvios is
irrelevant to the process, so nobody should bother reading:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:votes_for_deletion/copyvio
Take it to the wiki pages. That way, you get to avoid rehashing tired old arguments
that have already been discussed a million times before, and boring the stuffing out
of me. Plus, there's a slim chance that way that comments will be based on the
wisdom of the ages, rather than the whims of the moment.
