Re: Copyright
I have absolutely no control over what the rules are; I just work here. UESP is a source that has all work published on their site protected. I can't change that fact, and I empathize with you regarding it being your work. I chose to edit here rather than even think about editing at UESP, because 1, they have a set way of doing things that doesn't cater to outsiders very well, and 2, they "own" all of your work, be it on pages or the forums. It's a form of legal protection for your hard work, true, but I'd rather edit somewhere that doesn't consider to own the observations based on someone else's video game.

 * Thanks for understanding. Their policy does not protect my work if I want my work to be shared, either :) I stand by the rights of my work to be free, not ownership of it.

The disparity between UESP policy and other Wikis is not merely an anomaly, it is also subterfuge via negligence: in lieu of an open declaration that they have such a license, contributors such as myself assume that they have a free license. Not only that, but they have three or four non-working copyright pages (stubs with half-written sentences on them), and no links from the main page or any other that I could find, to their policy page. I had to do an Advanced Search, concentrating only on the Media Wiki part of the site, to find the Copyright page.

Pleased to make your acquaintance. It seems as though working here will work out fine. VvAnarchangelvV (talk) 17:56, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
