Citing sources
Hi, Pdxdoglover,

Thanks for your work on Van Duzer Corridor AVA. The sections on Topography and Climate need to cite independent, reliable sources, but on first pass, the article looks otherwise fine. Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 21:02, 20 January 2019 (UTC)


 * We have another issue that needs to be addressed: copyright violation. See the Earwig analysis. Please revise with summaries/paraphrases of the Federal Register source. Thanks for complying with this important WP policy. Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 22:18, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

So public record isn't owned by the citizens of the country and the US government can claim copyright?


 * Pdxdoglover, you may be right. Are all US government pubs in public domain? Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * All original works of the US government (not state or local) are in the public domain. Just have to be careful that they were works of the gov. For example, if you go the US Dist. Court for the Dist. of Oregon's website, you will see a picture of the Eugene federal courthouse; that is my picture and technically they are violating my copyright by using it without proper attribution, but as to the question posed here, while on a gov website, that is not in the public domain.

I requested that https://www.govinfo.gov/ be added to the earwig exclusion list. Hopefully, that will clear this up.
