incarcerate

Second defintion: to trap. I'd like to see some examples of this usage. Perhaps it just needs to be exchanged with Merriam-Webster's "to subject to confinement"? __meco 22:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Why would you want to introduce a copyvio as a remedy for anything? --Connel MacKenzie 23:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Is referencing definitions of words listed in commercial dictionaries copyright violation? Can word definitions be copyrighted? __meco 08:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes. A particular phrasing of a definition is copyright-protected material. --EncycloPetey 02:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Should the part of entelechy that is based on definitions found at Dictionary.com be removed then? __meco 14:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, of course. But not because it is based on (it is not,) but rather, because it is directly copied from there. (Short definitions can have "fair use", not several sentences.) --Connel MacKenzie 14:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
