Secondary print sources could help this article

[edit]

There are three secondary print sources that could help this article, and enable you to re-write it in a more encyclopedic tone, adding the assessments of impartial or outside observers:

  • “A Place on Earth: A Critical Appraisal of Subsistence Homesteads” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, 1942.
  • Carriker, Robert C (2009). "Introduction to book, Urban Farming in the West: A New Deal Experiment in Subsistence Homesteads". Retrieved 2012-03-03., describes coverage of DSH in various books and journals
  • Zeuch, Wm. E (1935-11). "The Subsistence Homestead Program from the Viewpoint of an Economist". JSTOR: Journal of Farm Economics Vol. 17 (No. 4): 710-719. Retrieved 2012-03-03. Trilliumz (talk) 15:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response on deletion of article

[edit]

I went out of my way to add quotation marks, select only brief snippets, and correctly attribute all this material; I do not see anything in the policies here that says a collection of correctly attributed quotes is unacceptable. If this is the case, why does the site host "Wikiquote?" The Truman Library material says "This oral history transcript may be read, quoted from, cited, and reproduced for purposes of research." The National Park Service material is public domain. The second footnote is to a fact that is pretty difficult to rewrite. The history section stands alone, without the cite.

Wikiquote is a different project than Wikipedia and has different policies. In accordance with Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Non-free content, we permit brief quotations of copyrighted text when used transformatively, such as in attributing a point of view or establishing context or attribute a point of view or idea. Basically, we have to be sure to add something new to the non-free content in order to help secure our claim to fair use.
In terms of licensing, I'm afraid that the Truman Library material is not released under a compatible license with Wikipedia's. We require that content be released for reproduction and modification, including commercially, and can't accept material that has restricted use, such as "for purposes of research." Also, National Park Service content is only public domain if it is authored by federal employees. Liz Straw is from the Tennessee Historical Commission. Permission must be obtained for information published on the NPS that was not created by the NPS. (http://www.nps.gov/disclaimer.htm)
I do appreciate your effort to clearly mark all quotations, but I'm afraid that you seem to have missed some. :/ For instance, you included the following:
"Stranded workers" – Intended to help logging communities at risk due to declining timber supplies, or miners facing economic-related shutdowns, etc.
I find this by the author:
"“Stranded workers” – Intended to help logging communities at risk due to declining timber supplies, or miners facing economic-related shutdowns, etc."
There's nothing in your text to indicate that you have copied verbatim from the author.
I have truncated the article, replacing a few quotes and omitting some. You're welcome to build it back up, but please try to use paraphrase for the most part and limit quotations so that they are a small portion of the whole. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
