Can I just make the comment that this thread shows why email is much better adapted to serious discussions that Wiki software is. Most of the comments on AfD are "Delete, per nom" or "Keep <insert brief spiel here>". Whereas on email people are actually able to develop ideas like "it's a copyvio" beyond that simple troublesome phrase.
And to think there was a proposed policy to ban offsite discussion about Wikipedia...:)

So we reorder it.
I'm not stoping you.
I'm not stopping *you* either. If you think it's a copyvio which can be easily fixed, why not fix it instead of jumping up and down screaming "copyvio! copyvio!"?

The onus is on the uploader to make sure whatever it is is not a copyvio. If I ripped out the subheading and sorted it into alphabetical order someone would probably try to revert me pretty fast. I'd still need to go through WP:CP in order to kill the history and in anycase wikisource is over there.
