User:Proxima Centauri 2/Does democracy require elite rule?
Article emailed to the author. It can never be a mainspace article. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 01:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If you emailed the wikisource then deletion is okay by me. If not, make sure he gets a chance to grab it before deletion.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. I just copy/pasted the text into Special:Emailuser and sent it along. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 02:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't write the article. I copied it from Liberapedia where it had been deleted.  It looked to me like University standard material and I thought it might be useful to Wikipedia.  I don't know enough about it and have no opinions as to whether it should stay or go. Proxima Centauri 2 (talk) 07:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Is it a copyright violation to copy from Liberapedia? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt it, I tried to edit a page and saw this: "All contributions to Liberapedia are considered to be released under the GFDL (see Liberapedia:Copyrights for details)." On the other hand, Liberapedia:Copyrights says "We, being Liberals believe in the free exchange of information, thusly copyrights are an evil that we don't believe in. If you post something on here which violates "copyright laws" we will pat you on the back. Viva la revolution!" davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:55, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case I hope they have very good lawyers, you can't hide behind the law that allows you to shift the blame on the contributor (WP can, what was it called again?) if you actually encourage them to violate copyright - Mgm|(talk) 11:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
