Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia that anyone can edit

I rather fear there are Copyright issues regarding use of the photograph from the Shetland News article. Their article clearly states at the bottom "All content copyright...."

Agreed - but I do hope that Shetlopedia would get permission for a "reprint" if we would ask Pete & Hans telling them, that we will give a proper credit. Islandhopper 02:22, 29 May 2007 (MDT)

I suggest this article should be the new Main Page feature for June... And how about Dr Tom Anderson for the Music feature,, because the two of them are interlinked in a way...

I wrote this article for that very reason Rob. It should be a fitting tribute. He's not just a musical legend in Shetland, he's a hero of all sorts JAStewart 09:05, 29 May 2007 (MDT)

Sorry folks - opposed. Whether by chance or intention the article is up to two thirds identical with the orbituary published by The Independent; complete sentences and paragraphs 1:1 without quoting it or showing a suitable reference. I'm afraid it might create a similar copyright conflict as Robbie mentioned before. Islandhopper 09:53, 29 May 2007 (MDT)

Yeah its all from the independant JAStewart 10:15, 29 May 2007 (MDT)

Well, James, then take it as information but rewrite it, please. I'm afraid we can't reprint copyrighted stuff under GNU-licence to such an amount without risking a lot of trouble. Islandhopper 10:33, 29 May 2007 (MDT)
