Talk:Robert Cecil 1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood

The note at the bottom of this article is causing me a bit of concern:


 * (To cite this document, always state the source as 'From Nobel Lectures, Peace 1926-1950, Editor Frederick W. Haberman, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1972.')

So the text of this article is from that book, that much I understand. So is that note copied from the book as well? In other words, does that book say that you can use segments of it as long as you credit the book? Does that work with the GNUFDL? Under the Wikipedia's GNUFDL license, anyone can come in here and remove that notice from the article (hence the note at the bottom of the edit page about "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly"). Furthermore, anyone can reproduce this article as long as they cite Wikipedia, they don't necesarily have to cite Elsevier Publishing Company as well. Anyone granting permission to put their copyrighted work in the Wikipedia has to agree to the GNUFDL, otherwise the Wikipedia couldn't be reproduced freely. I don't think that permission can include extra restrictions that aren't in the GNUFDL. Maybe I just misunderstand what that note means. - Eisnel 01:51, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
