>>> bill jackson 11/13/2007 10:42 PM >>> I'm writing an article on Wikipedi. I would like to use information about four shipwrecks where they happened and when. They are The Richmond (1885), The Margaret Ann(1887), The Wild Briar(1891), and The New England(1917). Thanks, Bill Maggie555 (talk) 18:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

The tags I added were not about a question of permission - rather a question of verifiability. I see you've added some links that probably help to address that. I've converted them into some notes to address this - at least for the /*Shipwrecks*/ section. Toddst1 (talk) 19:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

THE SOURCE OF THE MISSION OF ARICHAT CAME FROM AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER 'THE CASKET'. IT WAS A 5 PAGE ARTICLE FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE http://lardoise.netfirms.com/historyparish.htm. You are allowed to use the info.

Dear Ed:

I'm writing an article on wikipedia. I'd like permision to use 2 things on your site. 1. The two marriage records from 1880-1889. 2. Polling stations from 1861 cenus. We will happily put a link to your site as a reference.

Thank you, Bill

Did someone claim copyright violation? There wrong again.

Maggie555 (talk) 13:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

What happen to my page of references? They are in the edit page. Did someone claim copyright violation? This is bogus. Plase put the refernces back up. We got permission for the shipwrecks. If we needed permission we'd get it. None of the sites say copyright violation. They want you to put their link as a reference. These are TRUE FACTS. T THANK YOU. Maggie555 (talk) 20:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

THIS IS VANDALISM. THIS SITE IS MORE ACCURATE THAN MANY OTHERS ON WIKIPEDIA. YOU HAD THE BOGUS LOUISDALE HITORY UP FOR 11 MONTHS. WE HAVE THE SOURCES. WE ARE NOT BIAS. WE PRESENT IT OBJECTIVELY. WE ARE NOT IN COPYRIGHT VIOLATION.

PICTURE PUBLIC DOMAIN. NO PERMISSION NEEDED.

The Picture taken from the website:

http://content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/fishimages&CISOPTR=35425&REC=9

 has the Heading Grandique Ferry - Isle Madame.

The image is from Freshwater and Marine Image Bank. It was taken in 1903. Here is what they say about copyright: Copyright: "Materials in the Freshwater and Marine Image Bank are in the public domain. No copyright permissions are needed. Acknowledgement of the Freshwater and Marine Image Bank as a source for borrowed images is requested". This is why we put them as a source, because they requested it.

 EASILY VERIFIED:

You said "The tags I added were not about a question of permission - rather a question of verifiability". We checked, double and triple check to verify all our sources. They are all verifiable. We are also not objective. I live in Louisdale, Nova Scotia. It was and still is Grandique Ferry. However, I cannot put that in the story in anyway, because it would be bias. We just let the sources do the talking. Plus we have good history. So if it is no permission, not verifiability, and we are non bias, then what is it?

Maggie555 (talk) 21:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

How come the boat references are on the Lennox Passage article and not this article? It seems the category "lost towns and cities" would be right. It looks like the sources are right, so they should be up.

Thank You For Your Time,

[edit] source of population:

The source of the population of Grand Dique Ferry came from a book by Rev. A.A Johnston in 1960. the name of the book was called 'Churches of Eastern Nova Scotia. Vol 1. It was on Page 203. It had Grand Digue, but it was Grand Digue Ferry. Bishop John Cameron knew it. Also, other pages referred to the place near Grand Anse. This was Grandique Ferry. The Diocese sent me a photocopy. All we mentioned in the book was the population on this page. Put under footnotes. Maggie555 (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I purchased a copy of it last week and I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in Richmond County. The author Arthur J.
