Non-free content

Hi. Thanks for your contributions, including to Time's List of the 100 Best Novels. Unfortunately, though, that list is protected by copyright and cannot be duplicated on Wikipedia. We can use brief excerpts, in accordance with our non-free content policy and guideline, but we can only copy substantially from the list if we get a license from the copyright holder. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:26, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please forgive my ignorance of these copyright laws. However, I would like to understand why Time's list is copyrighted. If Time's list is copyrighted, aren't Modern Library 100 Best Novels, The 100 Best Books of All Time, AFI 100 Years... series, and Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century also copyrighted? Wolfehhgg (talk) 14:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for missing this; it's been a very busy weekend! Rather than leaving you the talkback template, I'll just reproduce my reply from my talk page.

Hi. Yes, undoubtedly, at least for several of them. Fortunately, we have permission from the copyright holder for the AFI 100 Years... series (OTRS agents can see it at Ticket:2007041310002766). I've reduced Modern Library 100 Best Novels. I already have written to our interim attorney about this matter and am awaiting her response; I'll ask her about Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century. It is a poll of 17,000 people, which should water down the creativity, but the list is drawn from a master list of 200, which itself is a creative selection. I'll also ask her about The 100 Best Books of All Time, since it is a list by 100 writers. In the case of the Time list, it is the opinion of two people merely. I suspect she'll tell us they aren't safe, given her last word on this issue (that lists are only really safe where completely formulaic), and they'll have to be reduced as well. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I have been attempting to draw together an essay to help explain this issue, current at User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists. Like a lot related to United States law, it can seem very confusing and generates arguments even among copyright experts. We're just left in the position of doing the best we can to make sure we comply until they iron out something clearcut. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:06, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't realize how strict copyright laws were surrounding lists such as these. Wolfehhgg (talk) 20:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Computer accolades

Hi, I have removed the accolades table you added to OK Computer as it is a redundant feature to the prose. If there is an important accolade not already mentioned, it is best to add it to the existing prose, rather than restrict such information to a cumbersome table. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not all Featured Album articles use accolades tables, and it's definitely preferable to put details in the prose. For one, it takes less space and is easier to edit. The Accolades tables are actually a remnant from the days when people used to cite AcclaimedMusic.net info, until it became apparent that it's not a reliable source. It's more important to convey and describe an album's critical legacy rather than just list off lists it has appeared in. WesleyDodds (talk) 03:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
