Talk:Listed buildings in Anderton, Lancashire

Copyright problem

This article was tagged for copyright problems on October 28th and listed for administrator review. It has now come due for closure. Comparison with the various sources suggests that content may closely follow the originals in terms of structure and language. While I have not examined every subpage, the three I've looked at show that the article follows the sources quite closely and that the concerns are substantiated. To highlight these similarities, I present several passages, with content removed and some bolding to draw particular attention:

Article:

A squared sandstone with quoins, stone slate roofs. L-shaped plan from 1759 Two storeys, lintel of the 2-light window at first floor above the door is inscribed 0S M 1759. The gable has a worn datestone with letter F, a doorway and a window dated 1683. The interior has a timber framed partition with remains of a cruck blade at ground floor of the north end...

Farmhouse and cottage, now all one dwelling. Dated 1710 on lintel of door, but with some internal evidence of earlier building.... Squared sandstone with quoins, slate roof....plain doorway at right hand end has large rectangular lintel with raised lettering in recessed panels S one I M; 1710...then a very prominent large gabled stair turret with a vertical rectangular stairlight and an oeil-de-boeuf at attic level...and a tall corner chimney....

Article:

The farmhouse is probably seventeenth century and has been altered and enlarged at an early period. The build is coursed sandstone rubble and squared stone, with quoins, slate roof with stone gable copings and gable chimneys. Right gable wall has a doorway near the front corner with chamfered surround and pointed Tudor-arched head, now covered by an added lean-to. A partition wall to the rear outshut appears to be timber-framed. The adjoining barn has lintel of former doorway with raised lettering G possibly I P : 1703.

The third of these, obviously, follows particularly closely, but cumulatively there are problems throughout. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are.
