Wikipedia:Using Catholic Encyclopedia material

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Due to its public-domain status, the Catholic Encyclopedia can be incorporated into any work, including Wikipedia. When using the material two things should be considered :

  • It was written in the first two decades of the Twentieth Century and many parts are dated
  • It explicitly follows a Catholic point of view

Wikipedia articles which derive from a Catholic Encyclopedia article should bear this message:

This article incorporates text from the public-domain Catholic Encyclopedia.

The message can be added by inserting {{catholic}} in the article. A list of such wikipedia articles may be found by viewing Category:Derived from Catholic Encyclopedia.
