Copyright problems
editnames that are wrong should be corrected
- I deeply appreciate the effort and value of reproducing the top rankings here, but I think that it is a copyright violation to do so. However, reporting in the individual college articles that a single school was ranked Nth, is probably fair use. Perhaps someone could get a permission from the copyright holder to reproduce their rankings on Wikipedia. Racepacket (talk) 11:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- I've reduced the list to 10, which should be more defensible under non-free content guidelines. If the ranking system can be shown to be non-creative, then it may be usable, but if human creativity is involved it is not (this would include in the weighting of factors). --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:10, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
