[edit]

I am a long-time editor of articles on National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed places and have occasionally raised copyright questions in wikipedia on usage of text and images in some such articles, where editors incorrectly understoond NRHP nomnination documents to be public domain (which they often are not, despite being provided/published by a Federal agency). I have myself used longish quotes in articles on occasion I think particularly when I was focused upon article notability issues in a potentially adversarial situation with another editor. Editor Nyttend (not that editor) in a wp:AN discussion, suggested that this edit in March 2010 by me adding one sentence from a NRHP nom form to article The Wilson represents a copyright violation. Does that look to be the case?

Also questioned are use of explicit quotations in Andrew Crockett House, Sherwood Green House, George A. Berlinghof, and this version of "Central hall plan architecture" (concern raised by editor Fram, who since redirected to Central-passage house which probably eliminates any copyright issue for that one). --doncram 14:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the quote in The Wilson is from a print source, not an online source. Nyttend (talk) 03:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The above query is related to an ongoing discussion at WP:Administrators' noticeboard#Another question regarding consensus on article quality. --Orlady (talk) 15:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I responded at the AN discussion agreed that the longer quotes are excessive as NFC. I can't say I feel the same way about The Wilson quote. It isn't terribly long and indicates why it is significant; adding value.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
