National Portrait Gallery copyright conflicts and its associated AFD look set to be hilarious. Ottava Rima (T-C-L-K-R-D)
has undertaken to refute everyone else's comments on a one-for-one basis. Let's just hope she doesn't inadvertently rebut one of her own comments and get into an endless loop (Tis! Tisnt! Tis!)

Ottava (who is a "he" by the way) is actually right in this case, though as usual, his motives for pushing the issue are somewhat suspect. The appropriate thing to do with the article would probably be to extract the information out of it that isn't specific to the (ongoing) legal case, and add it to Criticism of Wikipedia (T-H-L-K-D) as an example of how WP negatively affects (and even circumvents) the efforts of education-focused entities to disseminate quality information and images, in ways that preserve their interests and/or whatever intellectual property rights they might have an need to protect. Come to think of it, that article's section on "Threat to traditional publishers" actually should be expanded significantly - or rather it would be much larger, if the majority of Wikipedians weren't so cultishly convinced of their own boundless beneficence. Ottava is one of those people, unfortunately, and it seems more likely (IMO) that he wants the article deleted for "political" reasons, or for general whitewashing.

I'll take your word for it, but then shouldn't he be Ottav o Rim o?

QUOTE(Lifebaka @ Mon 3rd August 2009, 11:45am) I toyed with the idea of closing the AfD, but it's pretty obvious it's no consensus anyways. No need to bring the drahmahz down on my head.
And I have changed my mind, and closed it. When it blows up in my face, I'm gonna' enjoy watching the drahmahz.
