“When quoting a source, e.g. a website, article or book – be sure to include sufficient source information for the moderators to enforce copyright restrictions.”
Every quote from a website, article or book should be attributed so we can check for copyright violations.
With the exceptions posted earlier, obvious public domain quotes.
Thanks. It is the "obvious" aspect that was at issue here, as there was nothing really evident (like quote marks) that marked the 400 words at issue as even being from some other source, nor was the material itself obvious as being from a outside source, or well known as being public domain, both of which are the case with such sources as the KJV Bible and Constitution.
Yet my original one sentence objection was not as regards of copyright violation, but propriety and honestly, and which never should have needed to become such an extended dispute. Thanks for your moderation.
