Sounds great, AndreDuPres.  I wish you good luck!

Ivana Milicevic has a role in the Reese Witherspoon/Mark Ruffalo movie "Just Like Heaven," which opened this weekend.  Milicevic plays Katrina (ulp), Ruffalo's skanky and humorous neighbor.

You thought I was suggesting copying summaries from other sites?

Um, no.    I responded to your first 2 sentences in Reply #13.

Haha, I'm not even sure what we're talking about anymore.  What does any of this have to do with copyrights?

Do you mean what do wikis have to do with copyright?  Please forgive me for having taken the thread further off topic in my previous post, but I interpreted your "How so?" as a question.

Nothing's being infringed upon,

No one said anyone was guilty of infringement.  You said there won't be any uploading of copyrighted text and images, and I find that highly commendable.  You also made a comment that unless a person is making transcripts or selling the information, you don't see how there can be a violation, and I disagreed with that statement.  Copyright claims HAVE been made involving DS by license holders, actors, fans, and website owners when transcripts were not involved and even when there was no profit.

and even if it was, the U.S. has its "fair use" rule.

Plot and content summaries, for example, may qualify under the fair use exception, but what I was saying is that these summaries should be original material and not copied.

If things were that strict, this site wouldn't exist, and neither would Mr. Juggins' or 95% of the websites in existence.

I think you may have missed my point.  Whether or not copyright is enforced, strictly or otherwise, is at the discretion of the copyright holder.  Just because Dan Curtis Productions, MPI, SciFi, Pomegranate Press and others may overlook some situations doesn't mean they can't, or won't, enforce others.  If MysteriousB, dom and I were less vigilant about what is posted here, we may have been contacted over this issue by one or perhaps all of them.  We have, however, enforced copyright on behalf of our posters.

The creators of the DS FAQ that you mentioned don't own the characters, storylines, title, and other aspects of DS, but they do hold a copyright on their compilation.

The task you're undertaking seems daunting, proudhug.  I wish you all the best. 

WAS Collinsport a tiny little fishing village?  I was under the impression it was larger than that, and that it had a thriving fishing/cannery industry going.

If you go by Art Wallace's outline, it had a thriving tourist trade as well.  In Shadows on the Wall  he wrote that Collinsport had a population of 3000 that increased by nearly half in the summer.

Actually, according to http://www.wikipedia.org:

The name [Wiki] is based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning "quick", "fast" or "informal".

I've never heard the "What I Know Is" definition.

Some online encyclopedias define it as an acronym.  There are techies that swear by either origin.  Take your picki. 

Welcome, proudhug!
