User talk:One/Wales interview transcript

CNN posts their transcripts online. This one is here, halfway down the page : http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0512/05/lol.02.html

probably best to link to that instead of copying. If you transcribed this yourself, good job. Still it is copyrighted. Ydorb 00:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• I believe that actually posting the interview transcript is a violation of copyrighted material, whether you transcribed it yourself or not. I know that anything broadcasted on CNN or posted on its web site is copyrighted in the United States. It is better to just post the link. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• • The copyright is held by the speakers of the words, not CNN (except in the case of their employees involved, who may have a work for hire or copyright assignment). Jimbo I assume consents, Mr. Seigenthaler clearly wants publicity for his views on this matter and the matter is newsworthy and worth reporting on, all of which lead to a fair use conclusion for the material.

    • Right, if you made your own transcription, rock on. +sj + 16:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
    • You are notably leaving out Kyra Phillips, who conducted the interview. Has CNN granted permission to post her questions and responses here? Since we are being very careful about copyright issues I think it would be better to replace this interview with a link to CNN's transcript. NTK 16:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
      • As usual, the magical world of Wikipedia copyright begins - the interview is copyright CNN - it shouldn't be here. The questions asked by the presenter are key - and CNN (I assume) have not consented to them appearing here. Tompagenet 19:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Just FYI, people usually leave the umms, errs, and aaahs out of transcripts :) Unless they're significant, e.g. there was an inaudible word in there the transcriber doesn't want to neglect to mention.

No. It depends on the context. In sientifical works, especially in social siences, you have to leave them in because they carry important information. I think they're also interresting here.

ACK. Interviews usually don't contain the "umms". It's easier to read and doesn't make the speaker look like a stuttering idiot (which, in this case, looks almost like it's intentional.) --62.206.49.50 12:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I left the um's in there because that's what the speakers said. Do you really think I'd make Seigenthaler and Jimbo look like idiots? 1ne 01:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Bug note

There seems to be a bug where undeleting a subpage of a user page causes the old revisions to vanish. I'm investigating to confirm. Jamesday 08:13, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Back to normal now. Jamesday 15:50, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
