Copyright

On the talk page of Katherine Elizabeth McClellan you claimed the copied site had a cc licence and was acceptable for Wikipedia.

• Firstly, not all cc licences are compatible with Wikipedia, since many exclude commercial use. We need explicit public domain or CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing
• You claimed that the site had a suitable CC, but I can't see where it says that

I accept that you copied the material in good faith, and if you can guide me to where it makes it clear that the specific text you copied is either out of copyright under US law, explicitly public domain or available under an explicit CC BY-SA 3.0 Licence, I'll restore the page. Otherwise you will need to rewrite in your own words. Incidentally, it looks as if much of her work, including her photos, was done before 1924 and is out of US copyright, so that can be used freely here. The problem is that the modern bio isn't offered for unrestricted free use. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:14, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

@Shockofsputnik:, as a Smith librarian, perhaps you can clariy too? Cheers, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:38, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Any updates, Shockofsputnik? :) User:Megalibrarygirl (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi folks. Our collection guides are indeed CC-BY licensed, and you're right that this isn't posted. We have a ticket in to our hosting service to put the CC badge at the bottom of our site. Thanks for catching this! Shockofsputnik (talk) 13:59, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that, when it's done, let Megalibrarygirl know and she'll restore. When it's restored, instead of using <ref>{{cite web |title=Collection: Katherine Elizabeth McClellan Papers {{!}} Smith College Finding Aids |url=https://findingaids.smith.edu/repositories/4/resources/48 |website=findingaids.smith.edu}}</ref> multiple times, do the first one as <ref name="smith">{{cite web |title=Collection: Katherine Elizabeth McClellan Papers {{!}} Smith College Finding Aids |url=https://findingaids.smith.edu/repositories/4/resources/48 |website=findingaids.smith.edu}}</ref>> and just <ref name="smith"/> subsequently, which will give a much neater outcome, a bit like ref 1 of Pamela C. Rasmussen Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:25, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Looks like we're still waiting on the ticket, Shockofsputnik! Just checking in. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

The badge on our website has been updated to say CC-BY!, megalibrarygirl and Jimfbleak. Shockofsputnik (talk) 17:50, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Shockofsputnik! I'll restore the page, Jimfbleak. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:50, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
