This user has departed Wikipedia. David91 has not edited Wikipedia since 12 April 2006. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.

I am retired and currently unoccupied (although I harbour plans for a magnificent return to commercial life, usually involving the conquest of one or more major market niches and untold wealth). I am therefore perfectly qualified to obey the instruction, "do not create an article to promote yourself" since death (whether real or through boredom) will soon claim me. In the interim, I may scribble or tweak material within my fading expertise.

A request for help

Hello! I found you through seeing some of your posts on WikiProject Law's Talk page. I was impressed with your honesty and, well, this kind of comment in particular:

Everyday, I find pages that fail to state principles well or accurately. My reactions to particular stimuli vary from amusement to horror, but the response to each stimulus is always to correct it. ... By not addressing error when you find it, you are allowing that error to remain on a public site where it may mislead or confuse lay readers. As individuals who have identified yourselves with a particular interest in the law, I wonder why you are not more proactive to defend the accuracy of Wiki when statements of "law" are made.

You seem smart, and suitably and dedicatedly compulsive about fixing errors; just the kind of person we need to have going through the fan fiction article.

"Fan fiction" is usually defined as unauthorized or semi-unauthorized derivitive works (that is, they're done by fans and not "official", but the creator says it's OK to write it), most of which are nowadays published to the internet to websites such as fanfiction.net. As such, copyright law in any and all countries with access to the net has a huge impact on the international fan fiction community, and is obviously of great importance to the article on it. The problem is, of course, that both in the U.S. and other areas of the world, copyright law is inconsistent, as are books' or series' canon-creators' reactions and stances on fan fiction.

As such, the "Legal Issues" section of the fan fiction article is at current a complete mess. Almost all of it is completely unsourced and uncited, much of it contradictory and confusing to the reader, and some of it flat-out wrong, and just generally completely amatuerish, and plain awful. Additionally, there seems to be a bias towards U.S. law, with only tangential references to other countries' copyright laws, despite the fact that foreign copyright law can be of equal or in some cases greater importance.

I lack the resources, base knowledge and experience to fix the entire section on my own, so I've elected to implore a handful of WikiProject Law participants to help me fix it. Actually, basically, you and one other person whom I thought might be interested.

In any case, please help a hopeless American out? :) I'd like for this article to be the best it can be; I'm rather optimistically hoping to someday work it up to the Featured Article level of quality (even if it never becomes an FA, at least it would be really good, right?), though this may in large part depend on also improving the related articles, such as Mary Sue. Still, even improving the related articles will not fix the fact that the Legal Issues section is a complete and utter, uncited, unsourced mess.

David, will you please contact Larry Sanger again using a different e-mail address. Mail to the address provided bounced. Thanks. Citizendium Staff.

Can I Ask you some Legal Opinion

Hello,

I am impressed with your writing and need some legal advice on international divorce issues. Any chance you can help me?

My wife had I were married in Malaysia in 1994 and then lived in Japan till 2004. In 2004 she moved to CA and in June 2005 I moved to Ohio. We are both American. We have never lived together in the US but do file Married US tax returns. On Jan 4th, 2007, on a one day visit to CA she had divorce papers served on me and noow wants to unjustly take $$ from me and get alimony.

The evil woman is also having a realtionship with another man.

I am currently living in Korea for the last 5 months and will be here for about 1 more month. I believe I can get a divorce from her here in Korea based on her behaviour. My question is, does getting a divorce here nulify her ability to complete the divorce in CA? If so any other ideas about how to stop her ability to financial punish me?

Thanks Randy
