Untitled[edit]

A link placed in this article takes one to a web site which is in breach of copyright, given that it steals data and statistics, copyright and database rights for which vest in Quizzing.co.uk (and its owners Quizzing Ltd.) and, in some cases, the International Quizzing Assoc. Ltd.. The owner of the offending website - who actually has the temerity to claim copyright of the misappropriated data for himself - had been instructed in writing by the IP owners to remove said material but had not done so within the quite reasonable time allowed him (see also the discussion page on Wikipedia concerning quizzing.co.uk). After consulting a Wikipedia volunteer, I have been given the go ahead to delete the link.

I also quote here from Wikipedia’s own page concerning ‘External Links’.

“External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. … linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us ...”

In this instance the person linking to the site was the same individual who had violated copyright in the first place!

Per image request[edit]

There is a CC-licensed image at https://picasaweb.google.com/bertseghers/EQCIndividualQuiz#5671856928392190514 - I don't know enough about copyright to know how to upload it though. Dave.Dunford (talk) 13:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, exactly. I took the picture but removed it from there, but will upload it soon to Wikimedia. I got the explicit approval by Pat Gibson to upload this picture to Wikipedia - a very kind man it is :) BertSeghers (talk) 22:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As desired? :) BertSeghers (talk) 01:39, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday[edit]

Whilst the article says Pat Gibson was born in 1961 (with no reference), I have found a reference that says he was born in 1962. https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexfordpeople/lifestyle/face-to-face-with-pat-gibson-27718170.html I will add a tag by the date for now whilst the issue is resolved.
