Helpful syntax reference points
I'm just going to copy what Moonriddengirl said about this:"In accordance withWikipedia:Plagiarism, it is perfectly all right to copy from public domain sources as long as the copying is explicitly acknowledged. Copying without that explicit acknowledgment constitutes plagiarism. I would recommend, when you copy extensively from public domain sources, acknowledging what you are doing in the edit summary, but what is required is a note or attribution template indicating where the material came from and that the material is copied. The attribution template for that source is{{NPS}}. I place these in the top of the reference section. Alternatively, he can cite the source for each passage and placethis template in the citation:{{PD-notice}}. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. I myself would recommend an inline citation to the source but the use of the first template. If he uses the in-citation template, the template may disappear if somebody rewrites those specific sentences, not realizing that other passages are copied as well. I prefer the in-citation template where only a few sentences are copied and each is explicitly identified to the sourceor where multiple PD sources are copied and annotated."

The appropriate length of the lead section depends on the totallength of the article. As a general guideline—but not absolute rule—the lead should usually be no longer than four paragraphs.
The length of the lead should conform to readers' expectations of a short, but useful and complete, summary of the topic. A lead that is too short leaves the reader unsatisfied; a lead that is too long is difficult to read and may cause the reader to lose interest halfway.
The following suggestions about lead length may be useful ("article length" refers toreadable prose size):
| Article length | Lead length |
|---|---|
| Fewer than 500 characters | One or two paragraphs |
| 500–1000 characters | Two or three paragraphs |
| More than 1000 characters | Three or four paragraphs |
Note that 20000 characters is about the length of ashort story, based on 4.5 characters per word and 7.5 words per sentence.
Lead sections that reflect or expand on sections in other articles are discussed atSummary style. Journalistic conventions for lead sections are discussed atNews style.
