Talk:Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland

[Untitled]

This is a poem from from June of 1650 by Andrew Marvell. It was republished by MacMillan in 1875 in Palgrave's Golden Treasury. Many modern republishers hold claims on many items, but all such claims appear to me to be quite dubious. I have cited two alternate sites online that have this poem posted, one copyrighted, one not. Neither cite matches the cite the search bot claims as a copyright violation. What are we saying here? If I put a copyright on a page that contained the whole of an ancient poem with a critique of it, then would the search bot say to place the poem here is an infringement?

The bot can only search for a significant amount of duplicated text - it checks for certain attribution tags in the article and certain licenses on the source page, but it can't check everything (it also generates false positives for things like track lists which can't be copyrighted). For these reasons volunteers (like me) go through and follow up on every CSBot tag. Sorry for any inconvenience it caused. Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 01:35, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Comment

Simply reproducing the poem does not constitute an encyclopedic article. The article, besides the poem itself, should describe the publication history of the poem, the critical response to the poem, and other matters such as: the circumstances in which the poem was written, the structure and style of the poem, and references made in the poem. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
