Helpme request: Everway

Hello. I'm a little concerned about the additions I made at Everway. I described the rules in detail, but because the game's rules are so simple, what I wrote is pretty much all of the game mechanics. That does leave out a large amount of other material in the game, but you could probably play Everway with just the text in the article. Compared to the info on Dungeons & Dragons or GURPS it's less detailed, but am I in dangerous copyright territory for giving such a description? Should I take some of the text down? -Kris Schnee 04:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have the rules here, but if you described the rules out of your knowledge of them, perhaps referring to the numbers and names when necessary, that's fine. Copyright applies to the form on paper, e.g. a sentence or an image. While it does apply to "derivative works", such as merely paraphrasing the manual, with some word changes and grammatical gymnastics, copyright does not apply to ideas or you describing the concepts yourself. —Centrx→talk • 04:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I referred to my copy of the game when writing that, but just described the rules as I remember them. So unless told otherwise, I'm going to consider the text acceptable. Thanks! -Kris Schnee 10:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can You

Hello, can you please help me fix the redirect problem on Milli Tharana article? I want Soroud-e Melli and Afghan National Anthem to be redirected to Milli Tharana because that is the correct Pashto word. Surudi Milli is Tajikistan's national anthem and Iran's is also similar name. It creates controversy among Pashto speakers of Afghanistan to have Pashto anthem with name given in Persian language. Thank you if you can help me with this merger.-Mizorr 07:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've redirected Afghan national anthem to Milli Tharana so that M.T. is the main article. Because of the confusion between "Surudi" and "Soroud-e," I don't see a better way to change the current Sururi Milli page, which warns people that the term has different meanings. -Kris Schnee 00:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
