I've just rung Event Alliance on (02) 9963 9936 about the copyright violation. I spoke to Alexis. She was very helpful when I politely asked for the 7 bridges website to acknowledge Wikipedia. I gave her the links to the Tarban Creek and Fig Tree Bridge articles and she said she would link back to Wikipedia. She asked whether I was from Wikipedia. I said no and explained how Wikipedia was a volunteer effort and copyright is held by the individual contributors. She seemed to understand and accept that. Interestingly the text was provided to them, as is, by the RTA! A compliment that Wikipedia is being used by the RTA as a reference on their own bridges! This phone call is also a lesson in how a polite initial request can get an instant win-win for each party without any dispute. John Dalton 00:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
