Question On Posting to Library

I don't have time to go through all the guidelines, plus I can see any replies (but can't reply myself) on my cheap phone, but I have a question.

I'm typing up a position paper from the Redwing Workers Organization, a Des Moines, Iowa libertarian socialist group from the 1970s. Probably gonna post it on my writing blog ( http://stick2thascript.wordpress.com/ ), but also thought about contributing it to the library as well.

Only thing is, it's not from a website or book that I can cite. It's a xeroxed copy that someone gave me. Is that alright to add something even thought there's no way to confirm online that what I contribute is real? I was wondering that.

If there's a history of the group on libcom then link to that in the intro. If there isn't one then it'd be great if you could write one.

Quote:
Information on the layout and format of articles posted to libcom library

Titles
- Please only capitalise the first letter of any article titles (and any other already-capitalised words of course).
E.g. Capital, labour and primitive accumulation, not Capital, Labour and Primitive Accumulation.
- Please add the author's name to the title after a dash.
e.g. Capital, labour and primitive accumulation - Werner Bonefeld

Article
Please try to write an abstract for the introduction field for your article, explaining what it is about. This will appear on indexes like this: http://libcom.org/tags/russian-revolution. Try to keep it to around 150 characters, or 1.5 to 2.5 lines of text in the entry field.

Tags
Most tags are added by libcom editors, but you can add the following:

Authors and groups. This applies only for writers and groups you'd expect to find in the library - i.e. alongside Marx, Kropotkin, Wildcat, Situationists etc. if the article mentions trade unions etc. these will be added as tags.

Sector: if the article deals with a particular sector or sectors, you can add that here.
Region: Please add the primary region the article deals with, if it has international scope, best to leave this blank rather than selecting every one.

yes, that would be totally fine - please do post it up. Lots of the stuff we have just obscured photocopied leaflets and news sheets from years past. At the end in italics maybe you could put some notes on where it was from or whatever
