Meanwhile, I've got a very odd copyright question. In this edit, a new user has expanded the quote page for a work with everything that was added to it at TVT since the fork. The quotes are not text original to TVT, they come from the work in question and commentaries upon it. But the result will be a page identical to TVT's current version of it.
I think this is still copyright infringement. Facts can't be copyrighted, but the selection and organization of facts can be, and in this case I think the quotes count as "facts" for that purpose. (And to be completely fair, I just bounced four other edits by the same user for copyright infringement.) But I wanted to get everyone else's opinions before I do anything.
