i am looking for help

i am a fan of 'the goon show' and have found some interesting and postive items that could be included on the respective characters played on the program.

my issue is that the facts i have to offer were found on a radio interview in the 70's. the pieces i would like to offer were read, verbatim, from a text written by spike milligan, one of the 'goons' for lack of better words. the title of the book the pieces in question are from is never mentioned but are delightful descriptions, in mr. milligan's own style, of a few of the characters played during the program and i feel that a rare thing such as this should be shared.

my issue as it stands is this. would it be considered plagerism to quote/transcribe from an unnamed text items that were from a radio broadcast over 3 decades old, and if so, what steps would i follow to leagalize submittion?


 * So long as the quotations in question are limited to one or two per article, and are relatively short (say, less than four sentences), there isn't a problem with providing quotations. Read the essay WP:Quotations and guideline WP:QUOTE for ideas on how to proceed. Just remember to provide a citation for your source (see WP:Citing sources) and make sure the quotations are exactly word-for-word. If such preciseness is not possible, it might be a better idea to put the information into you own words (while maintaining neutrality and a professional appearance). If you have any more questions, leave a note on my talk page. Cheers! — Huntster (t • @ • c) 05:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
