Yup. NOR and CITE cover the plagiarism issue.
However, I feel that asking people whose material we deem worthy of
inclusion to become direct contributors to WP is something that could
pay dividends. For example, I created an article on St John's Church
in Richmond (where Patrick Henry made his fiery "liberty or death"
speech, and in the process I looked up the church website for some
historical information. I listed the website as a source, but after
reading recent discussion here, I sent off an email to the contact
address, suggesting they look over and contribute to the article. They
would have access to information, photographs, all sorts of useful and
unique information that could only enhance the article. At the very
least, I think they would be honoured by a request to contribute.
