Just a few notes on your additions to Yeats: Though peoms from 1904 are no longer under copyright, and thus whole poems can be used without copyright worries, we generally prefer short quotations of statements here, even when using such older sources. I realize that in some cases the entire poem is a single coherent statement, that cannot always be broken up into simpler statements, but usually this is not the case. Whole poems that are no longer under copyright can be added to Wikisource, though they aren't as liberal in allowing bolding for emphasis as we are here, and prefer typography to always remain closer to the original form. ~ Achilles 23:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
