I have moved the information about the poem to this page, and am going to work on making it into an article. There isn't a whole lot to write, but I think it deserves a page by itself, so here goes. --Mathwizard1232 02:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Artwork?

I know I've seen some artwork on the internet about this famous charge, but can anybody confirm it is in the public domain and then post it? (or try to get the author to put it under the GPL) Sire22 16:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

What sort of "artwork" were you thinking of? There are some paintings and pictures of the battlefield in the main article about the Charge of the Light Brigade -- SteveCrook 18:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The poem itself

The poem itself must be in the public domain by now. Why not just include it on the page? - 65.116.35.251 22:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

See WP:L&P. The poem is probably too long for this article. There is, of course, a link to the Wikisource which includes the full text. --Midnightdreary 03:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The editors of Charge of the Light Brigade included the whole text. It's a few screenfuls, but it makes the "References in Popular Culture" lines easier to read (several of which should probably be on this page instead, as they refer to the poem) JohnWhitlock (talk) 21:56, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

The article is about the poem, but I don't think it's sensible to include the whole thing - that's what Wikisource is for. It makes especially little sense to include it in the article about the charge itself. I've removed the text from both articles. Hairy Dude (talk) 13:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Famous lines

Should include the lines "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die"... AnonMoos (talk) 12:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
