Talk:Stamford bull run

Copyright investigation
This article was flagged for resemblance to external sites, including http://ourheritagelincolnshire.weebly.com/stamford.html. Investigation shows it was created as an unattributed split from Stamford, Lincolnshire, where the content was introduced to Wikipedia in 2009. This appears to be a backwards copy- explanation placed at the top of the original article's talk page.

The unattributed split is itself a copyright problem. Content on Wikipedia is not public domain, but is liberally licensed for reuse. However, reusing it without meeting the terms of the license is not authorized. I have repaired this instance. Please see Copying within Wikipedia for more information.

The article also included a lengthy, bald quotation from an external, copyrighted source. Wikipedia does accept quotations, but these must be brief and used transformatively - not simply because we wish to include the information. When information comes from a copyrighted source, or from a source we cannot verify is free licensed or public domain, we should put it in our own words aside from brief and clearly marked quotations used for good reasons, such as those set out at Non-free content policy and guideline. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
