Sorry, Dn. Damick, I think you're a little too picky. The original text (as well as the current one) was only a piece of information about a monastery. You don't need any special right to publish such a note about something that went public. If I am wrong, then there was no newspaper today. Also, a link to the source is even more than citing the source. I did take it personal because it doesn't look as a crowded place over here. Anyways, I agree with you about the format and thank you for doing it. --[[User:Stefan|Stefan]] 14:35, August 2, 2006 (CDT)
: I admit to being picky. But it is illegal under international copyright law to republish any piece of text without the copyright owner's explicit permission. That's why it had to be significantly altered. (Newspapers write their own original material or get permission to reprint others', such as official press releases.) In any event, besides being a question of law, it's also the policy of OrthodoxWiki. Anything that is republished on OrthodoxWiki without the explicit release of the copyright holder will be removed. —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

::[[w:IANAL|IANAL and TINLA]], but for the legal side: facts about the monastery (or anything else) are a matter of public record; hence, no copyright issues. In this case, the ''way that it is expressed'' is subject to copyright because it was original and/or creative. Even with the necessary significant editing (not sure how much 'edit' there is in a 'significant', but anyway), it is necessary to acknowledge the source; this is standard practise in essays and articles and is mandatory by OW policy (I'm less sure about international law on this one). — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] at 03:26, August 3, 2006 (CDT)
::On another note - has this article, as it currently stands, been sufficiently changed? — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 03:27, August 3, 2006 (CDT)
::: I cut quite a lot of it, but it could still probably use some more work. —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

I found: ''(IUHOS), Archimandrite Nicholas, who was Abbot of Holy Cross Monastery, Niagara Falls, NY is suspended from all priestly functions/ September 30, 2008.'' in the OCA publication: '''The Orthodox Church Winter 2009'''. Also, the OCA Diocese of New York-New Jersey website, [http://nynjoca.org/administration.html http://nynjoca.org/administration.html], lists this as its Monastery. - [[User:Andrew|Andy]] 13:58, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
