[edit]Carnildo, you deleted my page citing copyright violation from an election pamphlet. This pamphlet was created and mailed to every resident by the City. How can I learn what is/isn't public record? I would like to contribute more to Wikipedia but afraid I may have to obtain a masters degree in copyright law first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikesmullin (talk • contribs) 16:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- A master's degree in copyright law isn't neccessary, but a one-day course is helpful. The basics of copyright law are this: Everything is copyrighted. All rights are reserved by the copyright holder unless they state otherwise in writing. This is an oversimplification, but it will keep you out of trouble.
- Useful Wikipedia pages on the subject are copyright, free content, public domain, Gratis versus Libre, and Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ. --Carnildo 17:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
