Are you dead serious about this? I think excerpts are the limit here, because, contrary to most articles, this one is still in print: people can actually still BUY this... --Emdebe 01:42, 22 May 2005 (PDT)

People can still buy the WE ARE The Mothers... AND THIS IS WHAT WE SOUND LIKE! article - but who would bother if we are just ignoring copyrights and giving it away for free?

From the bottom of the Zappa Wiki Jawaka editing page:

You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!

Hello Houston? Do we have a problem here?
Should we remove the lyrics as well?

Then we should get rid of the Articles About Zappa category altogether - and possibly, yes, list no lyrics either.

Lyrics: We could always ask ZFT for permission to use them - as they are widely available elsewhere and the non-profit wiki is of benefit to them - they will probaqbly say "yes - and feel free to use the album covers too".

Articles: What is the point of them? Some are factually inaccurate; most/all have a lot of duplication. Why not quote from them in the relevant seperate articles.

The only good article is http://www.thewire.co.uk/archive/essays/zappa.html ;-)

Dunk 12:06, 23 May 2005 (PDT) - who was Duncan this morning but has spent the afternoon trying to persuade his swanky new G5 and Tiger to talk to his modem but has been unable to persuade Safari to run so, not having cookies loaded with passwords etc., had to set up a new account via Firefox.

Is this the beginning of the end, or just the end of the beginning? --Emdebe 13:05, 23 May 2005 (PDT)

Or is Duncan/Dunk just having a bad hair day? --Emdebe 13:12, 23 May 2005 (PDT)

User:Dunk: "Why not quote from them in the relevant seperate articles."

I think I can live with that - it actually even makes sense... but so then do we eliminate the Articles About Zappa category?
