 * User:Genjix/Carl Sagan quotes formatted for EBooks ([ history] · [ last edit]) It seems to me that, while while using individual quotes may be alright, a substantial page which consists entirely of quotes really is a breach of copyright. I therefore deleted this page on 23 September 2010, and explained the reason on the user's talk page. However, it has now been brought to my attention that the user re-created the page 21 minutes later. My own view is that it qualifies for speedy deletion as a copyright violation again, but, rather than start a deletion war over it, I decided to bring it here for another opinion. It is perhaps worth mentioning also that the user has a very long history of copyright problems, having received numerous talk page messages about them, starting on 23 February 2006, and still continuing today.

 * Every project is permitted to set an exemption doctrine within Foundation governance; this page very clearly fails the exemption doctrine on Wikipedia: WP:NFC permits brief excerpts of copyrighted text for good reason. Some of the excerpts are brief, but many are not. I zeroed in on one (which may or may not the longest) at 271 words, which by itself violates Wikiquote:Wikiquote:Limits on quotations. From one book alone, there are over 800 words quoted. Less than half of this taken from a 500 page book was found to be a copyright violation in Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises. I'll tag this for review on Wikiquote, but the bottom line for Wikipedia is that this use of non-free content is not permitted. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:05, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
