Would there not be copyright infringement issues with doing that? Just copy and pasting someone else's work, word for word, jars with me, personally.

"Is it possible to copy/paste text when editing a page or you always need to type everything?"Check out the Guide which is on the left hand menu under the word "Home". It explains that you can add small sections of text as long as you add the source/author and the way to do it is : copy = ctrl c paste = ctrl p Or alternatively highlight text, right click and use the menu that pops up. It is better to put things in your own words of course and not paste whole pages of text from wikipedia. However, It is not advisable to do this with pics from other sites because this will result in hotlinking which uses another site's bandwidth and is forbidden. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

I is not copyright information if one copies and pastes. But one must give the information from which this source is copied and pasted for it not to be plagarism. The original source must have the credit that is due. Wouldn't we all? Thank you.

I thought that you'd have had to get permission from the original author, before you used/referenced their works (especially if you're referencing/quoting from the likes of Starkey or Mortimer).

Besides, it will encourage people to actually buy the whole book which is what authors want you to do. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

MsSquirrly is quite correct. As a former Director of a College Library, I know just a tidbit about copyright (just joking about the tidbit; it was part of my job). As long as on gives the writer credit (like in college papers, and bibliographies), with small quotes it is acceptable. Otherwise non-fiction books with annotated bibliographies and reference books, or "Works Cited, " APA, or whatever format they might be in, there would never be such wonderul non-fiction books on the Tudors!
