The main difference between this and that appear to be that in this case the copyright holders are seeking to identify users, while in that case they had already identified people and were mad they were justifiably ignored when they provided insufficient information when requesting a block.

Wonderful idea, I can’t wait for a third Obama term.

I only complain because I see it happen a lot, and because Wikipedia automatically corrects links for mobile users but not desktop ones. It’s not intended to be scolding, just a request for you to be more aware of such things.

Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

Copyright protects already executed ideas, stripping that protection down to less than a decade would be completely unhelpful.
