Er, quick...is this copyrighted? I looked on the web and found no evidence whatever that it is public domain. Therefore, you should entirely remove this from Wikipedia, correct? Curiously, LMS |

I find it a bit disconcerting to be accused of plagarism? - was it not obvious that this text is just a summary? that I wrote it (in good heart) in the style of the book? The book itself came out in 1996 and has been published a number of times over since - it's out there for anyone to track down and read and it runs to a bit more than a few mere paragraphs of poorly revised text (more like 252 pages of some very witty dialogue). I'm sure you didn't mean offence, what with a number of indivduals stealing wholesale from various resources, but seriously, idle accusations of copyright infringement aren't appreciated at all - personally I would never plagarise and would never do anything to harm this new forum. (half inch = pinch, Cockney rhyming slang) I assume that's why Larry left the text here and merely asked the question, rather than simply deleting it as should be done for a clear infringement (NOTE: copyright infringement and plagiarism are two entirely different things--don't confuse them). It is the nature of Wikipedia that authors here must be thick-skinned in the face of such questions, and peer edits, and commentary about articles, and many other things. It is important that such potentially offensive things get said and replied to rather than being supressed out of a misguided and counterproductive sense of "politeness". --LDC Hate to repeat myself - but read what I wrote, hardly a novel is it? and if it were I'd ask for my money back :-) Common sense - it's cheap, limitless and enviro-friendly - use it. thankyou The third book of the adventures of Alice? by Charles Dodgson, er, that isn't right, Lewis Carroll, no, no, by [Zenith O'Clock]?...? by [Jeff Noon]?...?? yes! that's it! A fantastical book by [Jeff Noon]?, first published in 1996 following Alice's travel to a future Manchester city populated by Newmonian's?, [Civil Serpent's]? and a vanishing cat. |
