Talk:Ramsey family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am the Manuscripts Curator at UNCG, and I am working on a project to get all our finding aids up on the web and in as many online sources as possible. My student assistants have been instructed to cut and paste from the abstracts I myself have written. This is our own content, so we are not violating any copyright. Thanks.

You need to follow the formalities as described on WP:Copyright. The easy way in this case is to place a notice on the pages on the web site themselves that they are being released under a GFDL license, or the equivalent.

but equally to the point is whether they are encyclopedic content. We are not a publisher of genealogies, but an encyclopedia. Your purpose would be served perfectly well by having these pages on your own web site, not "on as many pages as possible." We call that sort of thing spam. See WP:BFAQ. Though intended primarily for commercial enterprises, the information there applies to non-commercial ones as well. As the administrator screening the submissions , i can say that if copyright is being reasonably asserted, it does not qualify for speedy deletion as a blatant copyright infringement.

I am simply not sure that this sort of material is encyclopedic.The actual decision about suitability will be made by the community, not by me. This may take some thought. Please read WP:N and WP:NOT and give us your views of how this is suitable. DGG (talk) 19:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] page move

It is the family who would be notable, not the papers themselves, and I have changed the page title accordingly. DGG (talk) 19:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
