Talk:Wisconsin International Raceway I was considering uploading two short (less than 1 minute) video clips of a few laps at stockcar races at two notable tracks, one of which is
Wisconsin International Raceway. Is there any copyright concerns with uploading small portion of races at stockcar tracks since the product that they sell is what I taped? I would of course use a free copyright license for my contribution (as far as I am concerned it is acceptable for my contribution to be freely licensed).

Talk:Ron Catalano — the associated article has been deleted (by me) on the basis of a copyvio evaluation. Some commentary on the talk page suggests that the article might have been improperly deleted. This seems like an illustrative case of a person claiming to be the author of information posted on a website potentially retaining copyright to the posted material and therefore able to self-release to Wikipedia for use. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)reply
Talk:The_Cool_Wall There is discussion about the inclusion of a list describing the content of The Cool Wall.
Guy keeps removing it because he believes the list contains creative content, while me and others claim that it is a compiled list of data (exempt from copyright) describing a section of the show
Top Gear. --

Talk:Aria (Russian band) - I received permission to post a biography from a website, but I found out that their biography was just a translation of the band's official biography in Russian. Would it be ok to post the translation? ~

Talk:Tule fog. I have a question about this image
[2]]. The website (

Template talk:Gamecover and
Template talk:Game-screenshot. This is a followup to an
earlier discussion. Please see that thread for the details. Please have a look at the templates as they are now and say whether including them will make sure we are not violating Wikipedia policy? We'd like to get this cleared up so we can get on with improving WP!! Thanks in advance for your feedback.
