Copyright
What's the copyright status of this one? NT 14:22, 15 September 2012 (BST)
No idea.
I'd best propose deletion then :(

Go on then--ARWadsworth 10:39, 16 September 2012 (BST)
My understanding is that short extracts of copyright works are permitted in uk law for the purposes of criticism, discussion, education, satire etc. Normally with a guideline of not using more than 10% of a work.

Do you have a reference for this? It would open up a lot more material for use, fwiw. NT 01:57, 17 September 2012 (BST)
Copyright, Designs and Patents act 1988
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents
--ARWadsworth 23:00, 17 September 2012 (BST)
which section?
NT 23:27, 17 September 2012 (BST)
With apologies for butting in:
- a. sections 29 & 30 of the Act provide for "fair dealing", but
- b. "fair dealing" is, AIUI, narrower than John Rumm's list (which on sober re-reading I think may reflect the more generous US "fair use" law): the UK legislation covers only research and private study, criticism, review and news reporting. And even within those categories there are further hurdles - eg acknowledging the source; so
- c. all in all I doubt the Wiki provides many opportunities for "fair dealing". Eg I think it might be OK to copy a piece of text from (say) NICEIC in order to criticise it; I doubt it'd be OK to copy a page just to pass on with approval their guidance (or as they might put it, to use their work rather than put in the time and effort to produce new work).
