I assume wikipedia is public domain, but we all know what happens when one "assumes". Bill, tgo artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1140 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 29, 2010 - 10:59 am:    Bill, Many of the Wikipedia pages have further attribution in the references area of their subject pages. Because a "quote" may have come from another resource that they referenced I believe it to be beneficial to add attribution for any resource. I'm sure that this will be discussed further but wanted to share my opinion. Thanks, Art Here are the Terms of Use for Wikipedia. Their policy... use it freely with exceptions (of course)... so who determines these exceptions - LOL. This is why I feel as I do in regard to attribution.

I shall proceed appropriately. Bill, tgo
