Proposed cleanup (note: the copyright is sensitive, so wanted to open this for discussion rather than editing immediately - it may even require User:Gravewit's approval as he's ultimately responsible for ensuring that all content follows the licensing guidelines set forth for the site). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:36, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

The current copyright warning has always seems kludgy to me. The above keeps the intent, while cleaning up the format and wording. Note: I did remove the line "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it here", as that now appears below the "Save page" button. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:36, 15 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Note: If no other opinions on this, I'll take the proposals to Gravewit. As I said, I believe he should have final say on changes to that particular wording. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:13, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't particularly have an opinion besides that the merciless editing note should stay. --68.142.14.45 19:15, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Currently, when you click edit, the merciless edit line appears twice. Once above the "Save page" button, and once below it.  So the line would remain, this would just reduce it to only showing once. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:30, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Heh. I guess I never bothered to read the changed text under the buttons.  --68.142.14.45 19:52, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

Bumping one more time for comments. If no other comments, suggestions, or complaints, will take it to Gravewit on Friday. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:40, 19 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Looks good, to me. A bit more clear, I suppose, with the bullet points. Gravewit 13:08, 21 July 2006 (CDT)
