Copyrighted material?

[edit]

The Slave pen section looks like it's been copied directly out of the Enquirer article that was cited in this article under References, particularly the quote by Carl Westmoreland. That quote is likely copyrighted and used without permission.

To the person who contributed this material: if it is used with permission, please provide that written permission in this Talk page. Thanks.

I started this article and I believe I have contributed most of it. I object to the ambiguous charge about parts of it being "copied directly." I reviewed the Enquirer article that I cited as a reference and cannot find more than a few words and maybe a phrase or two that are the same -- other than the Westmoreland quote, parts of which have appeared in other articles (USA Today, NY Times -- also cited) without reference to the Enquirer article. It is not stated to have been gathered by the Enquirer reporter, and frankly I think you are splitting hairs and throwing accusations carelessly. If you strongly believe the citation of an article containing the quote is insufficient, obviously you can remove it.

I'm sorry about jumping to conclusions; I probably wrote that after having encountered quite a few instances of blatant copyright violations on the Vietnamese Wikipedia earlier that day. I should've looked more closely at your article, though... – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Today's Enquirer article

[edit]

I'd like to mention the problems faced by the Freedom Center in getting the revenue and admissions that they had expected, particularly in light of the Enquirer article today. [1] I'm just not sure where to put it or how to word it. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fees

[edit]

I don't think ticket prices and so forth should be advertised on Wikpedia. WillC 21:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC) I didn't think so either. I'm going to delete it. Millancad 04:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
