Do lands, artifacts and animated permanents have summoning sickness?

The rulebook states this directly, and forum answers agree.

Noncreature lands and artifacts do not, so a land or Sol Ring taps the turn it arrives. A permanent that becomes a creature is affected only if you have not controlled it since your turn began, so an old land animated this turn can attack, while one played this turn cannot.
