How much of te poem/song?

Would it not be a good idea to show the whole poem, instead of a small fraction of it? Michealt (talk) 00:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, especially considering copyright issues... Catrìona (talk) 03:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

It is a World War 1 song, ie. written before or during 1918. Not sure how British copyright works, but I believe for the most of the world that’s public domain, and there are no copyright issues. Silmethule (talk) 22:07, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Silmethule. The poem was ostensibly composed during WWI but I have not been able to find evidence that it was published before copyright would be in effect. Also see WP:NOT a collection of song lyrics is one of the things Wikipedia is not supposed to be. Perhaps one stanza would be sufficient for fair use purposes and in keeping with the article.

(talk page watcher) Although the poem was written during WW1, were the collected poems of Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna first published in 1969? [1]. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:17, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Drchriswilliams, I believe so, that's probably what I was looking at when I originally moved them. Thanks! Catrìona (talk) 22:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
