Copyright status[edit]

The first pary of the poemhunter text seems to be itself based on a bibliography written in 1919. A Public Domain source attribution has been added in the reference section since the 1919 bibliography appears to now be in Public Domain. The CC licence used by poemhunter is confusing and appears to be incorrect since it says it is based on this Wikipedia article. Widy9 (talk) 14:20, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The second part of the poemhunter bibliography might be based on copyrighted material from the Archives of NYPL. The CC licence used by poemhunter might be incorrect since it says it is based on this Wikipedia article. Widy9 (talk) 14:39, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current prose in the article was published in a biographical sketch in 1922 [1], which means it is in the public domain in the United States. Hut 8.5 16:57, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hut 8.5, I agree with Widy9 – I believe that some content was copied from https://www.nypl.org/sites/default/files/archivalcollections/pdf/morgan.pdf:

Our article, revision 673783795	That source
In recognition of her literary accomplishments Angela Morgan was awarded in 1942 an honorary degree (Litt.D.) by the Golden State University, Los Angeles. She died on January 24, 1957 at Mt. Marion, New York at the home of her friends Mr. and Mrs. Warren Meyer with whom she had spent the last years of her life.

I don't see any difference. That source was written in 1991, revised in 2007, and appears to be copyrighted. It includes her date of death, 1957, so even if copied from elsewhere could not predate that. I've removed and/or rewritten it (and the hopelessly unencyclopaedic content copied from the PD source too). Pvosta, I'm curious: why did you describe the creation of this page as "Re-creation of article" – I don't see that it ever existed before?

Well spotted, I must have missed that. Hut 8.5 16:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
