i dont see how this article was a copyright violation. The website http://speakerloksabha.nic.in/speakeroff/officels.htm is a govt of india website and has no copyright disclaimer on it. also i did not get what u mean by articles did not exist on other Wikipedias.

The government of India can hold copyrights, as far as I can tell from the Indian Copyright Act. The absence of a copyright statement does not necessarily imply the absence of copyright. --rbrwr± 19:46, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
i changed the page to a stub. I have also emailed the webmaster of the site for clarification and permission to use content of the website. kaal 23:23, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

Moved from Wikipedia:Copyright problems:

  • Speaker of Lok Sabha from [1]. Oddly, user seems to be well aware of Wikipedia, going so far as to include interwiki links. However, the titles of those pages were all in English. Shortly, I will check to see if they, too are copyvios. - Vague | Rant 02:47, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
    • Odd. The articles did not exist on other Wikipedias. - Vague | Rant 02:49, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
    • The original contributor restored the text, went on editing it and left a mesage on Talk saying it was government work and it didn't have a copyright statement on it. I have replied and put the copyvio biolerplate back. --rbrwr± 19:50, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
