Two Articles in One?[edit]

I don't want to immediately edit this page (though if no interest/argument is made against my doing so, I shall), but surely the entry for Daphnis and Chloe should be entirely separate from this entry on Longus himself (much as with Xenophon of Ephesus and his Ephesian Tale)? -> Wiper 17:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and as this posting has attracted no comment, am proceeding on that basis. Neddyseagoon - talk 17:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You only get a copyright on the material if you add creative input; that website didn't. It is not in any way shape or form a copyright violation. I doubt that license would hold as binding in the US, and even if it did, it would only bind the copier, not Wikimedia.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:50, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
