The article includes a template indicating text is "incorporated" from a given PD website. Why not put any directly copied text into quotes, or reword? Which passages, exactly, if any, are copied? I would prefer to remove the template if it is not strictly needed, or if the article could be revised slightly so that it is not needed. doncram (talk) 19:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
When I first stubbed this article I was going to look at the AFRA website, 11th Air Force area for information about the airfields in Alasak during WWII. That's why I put the template in there. I coudln't find much about them at the Air Force site, and I wrote the narritive myself, not including any. I'll just edit it out of the reference section since I dind't use any. Can always add it later if appropriate Bwmoll3 (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. By the way, I and some others actively dislike use of PD templates in wikipedia articles, for a number of reasons including that using them tends to lead to under-crediting of PD authors. There is discussion of potential explicit policy to get away from them, in Wikipedia talk:Plagiarism. PD templates may eventually make articles ineligible for GA and FA status. So, perhaps it is best not to introduce them in new articles. Anyhow, thanks again here. doncram (talk) 20:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
