[edit] Copyright
Hi, Ingoolemo. I wanted to let you know that the speedy delete criteria for copyright violations only applies to commercial content providers, meaning companies who are selling the content being copied, like an encyclopedia, not using the content to sell something else. For example, Michael Hallahan is an actor and his website may help his career, but he isn't selling the content on it. The criteria was limited to commercial content providers because such companies are very unlikely to give permission for their content to be used. However, other businesses may release their content, especially when the article is about them, in exchange for the advertising they get. Thanks, Kjkolb 06:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
