Talk:Wedge: The Secret War Between the FBI and CIA

as much as i love this book,

this article is written in the style of a payed-for wiki PR piece. a large number of unreferenced statements about people adopting ideas similar to those in the book, without actually mentioning the book. Decora (talk) 16:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Copyvio tag

@Wodgester: I saw you added the copyright violation tag. Do you mind explaining why? I would have to look into the licensing... if there's any declassified conversations being quoted they are PD because of USGOV, but the other prose would be copyrighted under normal publishing. I just want some clarification or your thoughts before I look into this is all. Sennecaster (What now?) 19:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@Sennecaster: Sorry, that was a rushed edit (and a slow reply). I've replaced it now with Template:Long quote. I don't think they're necessarily a copyright violation, but I think they would more appropriately be integrated into the prose encyclopedia-style, as described in this essay. (And on the copyright front, I think you're right about the quotes from feds being PD, but they only make up a small portion of the section.) Wodgester (talk) 18:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm going to WP:BOLD and remove. Someone can refactor it into workable encyclopedic writing later. It's a gross overquote without any explanation whatsoever (it's not normal to have that many, despite what other debates are going on over overquotation) and imho violates WP:NFCC. Thanks for explaining further! Sennecaster (What now?) 18:20, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
