User talk:Supadawg~sourceswiki

Hi Supadawg. It's good to see you working hard.

I see that you have suggested that the biographies of Author:Thomas Lindsay and others related to him should be moved to Wikipedia. I tried the links but they didn't work. The contributor was really adding a number of personal letters from family archives. The letters are interesting because they are well written and are a good reflection on the time and place from which thye were written. I was the one to suggest that she add a brief biographical paragraph to the author listing. My basis for this request is that these individuals are not likely to be "encyclopedic", and they will be known only for their letters. The biographies put them in historical perspective. I think these biographies should be restored unless someone wants to expand on them at Wikipedia. Eclecticology 16:51, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

I suspected that someone had probably deleted your additions. Some participants at Wikipedia have a narrow attitude about what should be allowed! Although I complained about the biographies, I appreciated the clean-up that you did on the format of the articles.

The only other difference that we have is with the presence of the de entry on the D-authors page. This was there for the benefit of those people who don't know whether a listing for "de Gaulle" should be under "D" or "G" Eclecticology 19:25, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Regarding Mein Kampf: I have no political problem with including this in Wikisource. It would, however, be a copyright violation. The GNU-FDL says nothing to establish an overall public interest right to publish a work that allows us to ignore the copyrights. The right to publish under license needs to be traceable to the author. It may very well be that the absence of an estate makes Hitler's copyrights a nullity, but taking that position should be decolared. Perhaps more significant is the copyright of the English translation, which is a separate consideration from Hitler's own copyrights. Who was the translator, and when was that translation first published?

As a less momentous consideration I think that Mein Kampf (English) would be a more appropriate title. This reserves the simple title for the German language original. Although My Struggle is another possibility, this is clearly one of those titles that is best known in its original form, even for people who don't understand the language. The other consideration might be to break the text up into files of more manageable size. Eclecticology 05:14, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

To keep the discussion in one place I'll be continuing the discussion about the Mein Kampf copyright at Talk:Mein Kampf

Sorry about my apparent indecision about Mein Kampf. I've said more at Wikisource:Possible copyright violations I checked the renewal records at the copyright office, and found that the copyrights for all three American versions were renewed at the appropriat time by Houghton-Mifflin. The outstanding question is whether that publisher had the right to make the renewal. The situation is more complicated than I would want it to be. Eclecticology 08:28, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Supadawg. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Supadawg~sourceswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
