Sorry, this question was asking for legal advice and that's not allowed here. You need to consult a lawyer in the relevant country. --Anonymous, 04:25 UTC, May 5, 2008.
Asking whether something is copyrightable is not an issue of "legal advice". It's easy to answer for someone who has even the faintest association with the basic ideas behind copyright law. I'm restoring the question. If you object, take it to the talk page. And if you are going to delete questions, please sign your posts. -- 98.217.8.46 ( talk) 15:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, talk page it is. I've said my piece; discuss away. --Anonymous, 22:25 UTC, May 5, 2008.
I want to write a story involving people from Cappagh in 1901 & 1911, as taken from this census. However, I also don't want to get sued. Since these records are about a hundred years old, would they (and the people mentioned in them) fall into the public domain? -- Ye Olde Luke ( talk) 00:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
We have a siamese, about six years old, with long hair who is constantly getting dreadlocks. I can't really comb them out (I'm not that brave) so I end up cutting them out with a scissors. The cat looks terrible but I;m sure he's more comfortable. The cat also has a lot of dandruff. Anyone have any advice, experience stories to relate, etc., that tie in?-- 68.237.223.179 ( talk) 01:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Dandruff might be actually be cat litter. Brushing a cat actually helps them get most of that stuff out of their fur. And they like being comb. Cardinal Raven ( talk) 02:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven
My mom's cat used to have this problem, and no longer does. The solution was to put him on a diet. He's still fat, but now not so fat that he can't reach his back with his tongue. (Of course you have to cut out the existing dreads anyway -- even if he can reach them he's not going to be able to get rid of them with his tongue, just keep new ones from forming.) --

I've been curious about Air hockey tables. I am wondering whether the air blowing up from the table actually makes the puck float (is it actually touching the table)? Someletters< Talk> 04:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
What is the largest tram network in the world? Tram and light-rail transit systems, and the articles leading off from there, don't address this question directly. Google throws up a number of contenders, including Melbourne, Vienna and St Petersburg, but nothing conclusive (Melbourne seems to be listed as the largest, second largest or third largest, depending on what you read). As a resident of Vienna, I'm obviously rooting for my home town. Any thoughts? -- Richardrj talk email 09:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Is it true some are made of styrofoam? · AndonicO Engage. 10:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Can stabilized compressed earth block technology be used to construct modern houses inexpensively in the SouthEastern U.S.? Using on-site dirt, it seems like anyone should be able to provide adequate shelter for themselves (without serious expense and with a small group of helpful folks).
Is this currently being performed in this location? -- Ckdavis ( talk) 19:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Do farmers sell their crops directly to the elevator? What if they don't have an elevator in their town? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.119.61.7 ( talk) 20:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
