[Wikipedia-l] Re: Oregon City and Bryce Harrington

[Tom Parmenter]

The "owner" removed his three routine paragraphs in a snit and I
replaced them with six or seven paragraphs more thoroughly covering
this interesting little town filled with museums.

|I was the person who noticed the Oregon City article had a copyright notice
|WITH an invariant section that the notice could not be removed.  This violates
|the copyright agreement to add to Wikipedia (no invariant sections).  I
|respectfully asked Bryce to remove the incompatibility or delete his additions
|that he claimed credit for.  He removed the invariant section.  Let me make the
|rest of this discussion a practical one.  Who among us would have accepted it
|if I would put at the end of *every* 30,000 or so city articles a message that
|the articles were mine and copyrighted "2002 Derek Ramsey"?  I am pretty sure
|(unless I misunderstand) that if you add to Wikipedia you give your consent to
|let others modify your work.  That may mean eliminating it, removing your
|copyright notice, or whatever they feel like doing.  Wikipedia has a copyright
|notice and that should be sufficient.  If you can't agree to it, you can't add
|articles, no matter how much we want them.
