Copying from sources

[edit]

I notice that two full paragraphs are copied from this government document. Because it's from the US government it's copyright-free and you do have inline citations at the end of each paragraph, I don't think it's WP:Plagiarism, but it sure doesn't strike me as good practice. I'd suggest at least introducing the quotes in the text, to make clear that they're direct quotations, not new writing, and checking over WP:Quotations#Overuse. Alternatively, there ought to be something useful at WP:Template messages/Sources of articles. I don't see a pre-existing template for the NRHP or the Department of the Interior but I think NRHP is under the National Parks Service, in which case {{NPS}} would be a good way to provide better attribution. › Mortee talk 22:13, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and done the former. The {{NPS}} template looked a bit redundant coming right after that line in the references section. › Mortee talk 22:20, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
