Copy pasting with attribution

This is the first time I've done this, I think. The entire article, with the exception of the first paragraph, is copy pasted verbatim from http://nerrs.noaa.gov/NERRSReserve.aspx?ID=616&ResID=LKS. I have attributed with the correct template at the bottom, although the link to the actual source page does not appear, but is present in the template in edit mode. I am rather uncomfortable copy pasting, but figure that the source is well written and as it is public domain, an economical way to make this article. I have done all of this in good faith, so if this is not allowed, please delete this article and yell at me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article looks good, and the attribution was properly done (other than a 'technical' issue that was preventing proper display, which I fixed). Carefully done, this is actually a quite good way to, like you said, 'economically' create articles on missing topics. Revent^talk 01:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Revent for the fix. I don't know how you know all this. I'm just baffled with all the }}} and {{{ and such. As for the legality of the whole thing, great to hear it is all okay. I still feel guilty, but am glad Wikipedia has the article. And this is the entry point to one of NOAA's goldmines. I'm still shopping for more. :) All the best. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:14, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
