Murder of Harry and Harriette Moore edit

(

)

The home of the Moores after the Christmas Day bombing.

... that Harry T. Moore and his wife Harriette, were the first martyrs and the only married couple to be assassinated during the Civil Rights Movement? "Moore and his wife were killed 12 years before Medgar Evers, 14 years before Malcolm X, and 17 years before Martin Luther King, Jr., making them the first martyrs of the contemporary civil rights movement." Florida Today/"...he and Harriette are the only husband and wife to give their lives to the movement" PBS

Article is new enough, long enough, and the false positive copyvio report has been adequately explained. I found the hook of interest, and it is verified to the Florida Today and PBS sources. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, and I was wondering how this copyvio report was explained? Yoninah (talk) 23:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

That does appear to be {{PD-USGov}} text as a product of the Justice Department, but attribution would probably help. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 03:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

@Coffee: could you take care of the attribution please? Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah and Ritchie333: The nominator seems to be a bit inactive, so I've gone ahead and added the template. As far as I can tell, a quick new review should work. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 12:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

As stated above, the standard copyvio tool goes ballistic on this article, because most of the text is from a US Department of Justice piece, with the attribution "This source was created by the U.S. Department of Justice; it is therefore licensed for use in the public domain.".

@Ritchie333: I should've been more clear – I've added the technical attribution template required by WP:FREECOPYING; as far as I can tell, a quick tick should be in order. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 13:09, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that works for me, since it's just making the attribution clearer than where I found it. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:11, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
