Had to delete the Margaret Thatcher piece
[edit]According to the source page for the work that you added "Copyright © Margaret Thatcher Foundation 2014. All Rights Reserved. Page generated in 0.1387 seconds" which will not allow us to host the page. If you can demonstrate that the work itself is out of copyright, then we can undelete the work and add that detail. :-/ — billinghurst sDrewth 12:14, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Copyright does not lie with the Thatcher Foundation it can't copyright post hoc a statement made in the public domain, the official record is actually Hansard not the Margaret Thatcher foundation. I'd appreciate if you would undelete please. Wee Curry Monster (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Margaret Thatcher as the author of her statement held copyright on her artistic work, and it would appear evident that the Foundation is now the delegated copyright holder through her estate. You cited the website for the text, not another, and as such there is no evidence provided that the work is in the public domain, nor published in Hansard, just hearsay. You don't know what edits have been made if it did appear in Hansard, and any such editing could have an author's copyright. If it is Hansard please can we credibly and specifically cite Hansard as the source, and then demonstrate that the work is in the public domain with an OPL or OGL licence that retrospectively covers this work. I believe that if you present that evidence at WS:CV as an undeletion request then we can progress this matter. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:29, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- If it is OPL, then we need to comply with their requirements as stated at http://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright/open-parliament-licence/ — billinghurst sDrewth 00:34, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- It is in Hansard, the Hansard reference is quoted on the link to the Margaret Thatcher foundation. I could point it out but its been deleted so could you undelete, then you can verify. Wee Curry Monster (talk) 09:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
