Copyvio

I noticed that you listed the Qatif Project article on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. The article does not contain any copyright violation, since the information taken is indeed under fair use. (All information found identical to some parts of the newspaper article is property of Saudi Aramco which released it to press in August 2004) - Eagle 15:55, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

I can't find the original press release from Aramco, so there's no choice but to treat the newspaper article as the original source. In either case, I'm not sure how this falls under fair use. The wiki article seems to violate one of the key fair use tests: the majority of our content (~75% on quick scan) is taken from the original, copyrighted source. There are no hard and fast rules for fair use, but I don't think we can make a good-faith assumption that the current wiki usage is fair use.Feco 19:24, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Taking photos of the facilities is impossible. However I will try to get some of those released by Aramco. -- Eagle 17:01, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

Duplicate Articles
