This is disappointing that you find the table to be a copyright violation. If you chose to compare the version I set up here with that at Petr's website you would see that I had not, in fact, just copied it verbatim but had augmented the data that he had listed with further information regarding the unit's basing and the pilot's commanding officer. Also, I do not see how this information can be considered copyright. It is like saying the results of a race are copyright to the first person who publishes the information, which is plainly silly. Perhaps I should also have included this weblink: http://aces.safarikovi.org/victories/doc/victories-germany-ww2-1940.pdf which also lists the victories for all the pilots, but in chronological order, rather than by pilot. The same information is presented there and would need to be sorted by pilot to be of relevance - I have done that. Is that a breach of copyright to cite the same information from separate sources? Or are you saying the format I used is indication of copyright-abuse? I'm not sure how I can present such information any other way - should it be in reverse chronological order or in a random pattern. Should I have the type of aircraft first, then the location and then the victory number. I would appreciate your advise on how to do this, as your User page obviously shows you to be an eminent wikipedia editor with far more experience than I have, and it will influence how much use I can be to the foundation going forward Philby NZ (talk) 01:57, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
