  • But the copyright policy linked off the source says "The State of Queensland has no objection to this material being reproduced, made available online or electronically provided it is for your personal, non-commercial use, or use within your organisation". The section in bold makes the licence incompatible with Wikipedia's - the text there basically describes CC BY-NC-SA, which not compatible. Sorry.

  • No, it doesn't. The Queensland Heritage Register is, as the attribution at the bottom of the Wikipedia article makes clear and specifically links to the release of that dataset, licensed as CC-by-SA. The QHR database was specifically released as such after negotiation with Wikipedia editors. I don't want to be rude, but what's the point of having material released as CC-by-SA and citing it correctly if Wikipedians won't read the citations?

As per the DYK rules, "text copied verbatim from public domain sources, or which closely paraphrases such sources, is excluded both from the 1,500 minimum character count for new articles... " So endorse Ritchie333's assessment. Redtigerxyz Talk 05:01, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
