 * Hi there, thanks for that guidance. It's the first time I've added anything, so I'll make sure to do it right next time. I thought once it was past 50 years in age (in this case the source was published 1966), there wasn't a copyright on the material. I was just putting a bit more on my great great grandfather's page, and didn't have a lot of time to do it so I just updated the copied text a little. Not much! And then looked for a way to give credit for the original source, but don't know how to cite properly according to Wiki guidelines. I appreciate the feedback. 2404:4402:3A16:4700:6466:7065:5590:C0EC (talk) 23:18, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
