But is it considered original research to include text of the plaque without it being printed by a reliable source? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:43, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think so, no more than taking the photograph is. But more importantly, IMHO excluding it is an accessibility problem for blind WP users, though it appears not to be forbidden specifically by WP:accessibility. At the very least it belongs in the alt text. YBG (talk) 19:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is what now appears in the article what you had in mind? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks nice. I tweaked it to avoid the line wrap. I'd also prefer it if there wasn't quite so much lead between the lines, but I don't think there's much we can do. Thanks. YBG (talk) 04:24, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
