I quite like the idea, but the current implementation does seem a bit dubious in terms of trademark use. As a big company with copious lawyers, it's very surprising that Amazon didn't think to contact WMF at all. Also on the example page linked (James Joyce) you can of course just scroll down to the Project Gutenberg link and get most of his works for free! Although they did think to remove the Wikisource link. In the reverse direction, we once had a WMF Amazon Associates account, to earn money on purchases from Amazon via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Book_sources. Does it still exist? It would probably only add up to a small amount, but I don't see any reason not to restore it. There's a stalled discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Book_sources#Amazon_associate_number Pete / the wub _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
