I raised a copyvio question about the article, then was concerned i tagged it too quickly. But, the article drafted does contain copied text.
A source website includes passage: "The house is also closely connected with the development of the railroad in Prince George's County, and served as the home office of the railroad manager. In addition, it is connected with the planning and development of the village of Brandywine, having been built for a member of the family of William H. Early, an important landowner and developer of this railroad village."
The drafted article includes passage: "The house is also closely connected with the development of the railroad in Prince George's County, and served as the home office of the manager for the Southern Maryland Railroad. In addition, it is connected with the planning and development of the village of Brandywine, having been built for a member of the family of William H. Early, an important landowner and developer of this railroad village."
This was verbatim copied, and was not put in quotes. The contributor has suggested at his talk page that he believed the source was public domain, but I believe that was incorrect. The source is http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=1013&FROM=NRMapPR.html, a website of the Maryland Historical Trust, which is perhaps an independent nonprofit or perhaps a part of Maryland's state government, but in neither case would the website be public domain. doncram ( talk) 23:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I created a new draft article at Talk:William W. Early House (Brandywine, Maryland)/Temp. Perhaps this can be developed and/or copied in to replace the existing article. doncram ( talk) 00:03, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
This morning I contacted the Maryland Historical Trust, the principal operating unit within the Division of Historical and Cultural Programs, which is an agency of the Maryland Department of Planning, to inquire about the copyright status of materials included in the Maryland National Register database. I received the following reply:
