Ombudsman insists on his florid phrasing, which is one fault, but now is using the article as a vehicle for his POV. Midgley 13:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Text is oroginal? Or paraphrasing what reference?
There is something about this passage:-
"The club, which encompasses Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, raises money to preserve the natural environment while enriching the lives of community members through the sale of members' homegrown garden wonders. Each April, the club hosts an annual garden sale. "It takes two days to make the money and six months to argue about who to give it to," once said Colonel Robert E. Work (ret. USAF), a club vice president, adding, "We contribute to the good eating and beautification of the community.""
particularly the reported direct speech, that makes me think it comes from a record of an interview. Whch makes me wonder about the copyright of that interview, and whether it should at least be in the references cited to establish sources. WOuld an interview by a WP conributor count as citing the reference as the name of the person, or is it WP:OR? I'd guess that it is not WP:VERIFYable unless the reporter's notebook makes it to somewhere else accessible. Midgley 00:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- On looking further a chunk is simply copied from http://www.svcn.com/archives/saratoganews/07.17.96/sn.cover.html which is given as a reference but not cited there. I'm not enough of an authority on copyright and WP:CP to know if this is acceptable. Ombusdsman's response to my question was not helpful. Midgley 09:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
