one Lord one faith one baptism has posted a number of quotes from documents and while citing the document, does not post where the document was found - posts 812, 815, 821, for example.

Is there a risk of copyright violations doing that as well?

Ancient documents, I realize, would not have intellectual property rights as modern ones would, but what about the persons or organizations holding them?

Should there be links provided even in those cases?

see also #818. It is from a web site unattributed.

metmom, quotes from non-copyrighted Biblical translations and other similiar very old manuscripts do not need source information. However, if a particular translation such as the Message has a copyright notice, then those terms/conditions must be honored.

Judith Anne, a poster may be using a printed manuscript as a source even though the material is online. Posters do not need to search the web to see if there is a url for what they want to post from a book or magazine. However, if it is apparent that posters are quoting and sourcing from websites without giving the urls (obviously not a printed manuscript source) then let me know because it wastes moderator time - which is not a good idea.
