A significant part of this entry is lifted straight out of the Britannica 2005 article on Ritsos. As such, it violates copyright. Perhaps we should redirect this to Yannis Ritsos outright? Porfyrios 10:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

TIS raises the issue WHY WIKIPEDIA generally should only be derogatorily refered to as it constantly allows some (with the callous disregard of cold blatant bureauacratic legalistic outlooks it is so well known for) to balk at including content for every nominal issue within form but in complete disregard of substance.

QUESTION: WHAT MAKES THE PEOPLE WHO SAY, SUGGEST,CONJECT that because "A significant part of [an] entry is lifted straight out of [another work] the Britannica 2005 article on Ritsos", that as such it will "As such, *** violate/s copyright"? If that article merely states facts does that mean the facts are copyrightable?

[edit] NO!

Such naive legalistic amateur presumptions are ridiculous and patently a trademark of Wikipedia's activists pervasive ignorance which has been twisted for other political purposes nothing else.--Xaoskeller (talk) 23:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
