File:Progreso - 8a yaro.pdf

This file contains 2 volumes of the periodical 'Progreso'. I think it should be deleted and the volumes added separetely with their original names (Tomo VIII and Tomo IX instead of 8a Yaro).

Also I’m not sure of the copyright status. The volumes were not published in 1908 as mentioned in the description of the file, but in 1931 and 1932. Rosacentifolia (talk) 17:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

If there is a reason to split the file, anyone is free to do it. Also, feel free to fix the description if necessary. Copyright doubts may be a reason for deletion by they need to be raised more precisely. Ankry (talk) 17:25, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, not sure how to handle this. Is there a way to split the existing file ? Or should I re-upload a split version of it ?

The only infos I have regarding the copyright are the publishing dates written on the covers, 1931 and 1932, and the year of death of some of the contributors : 1969 for S. Bakonyi, 1999 for A. Matejka. I don't know if that’s enough to prove copyright infringement. Rosacentifolia (talk) 21:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Ee Grasse Widdowes Zorrow

Tagged by QueerEcofeminist as a test page; I have no opinion myself. Eviolite (talk) 17:54, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

@Eviolite: QueerEcofeminist Not a test page, objecting per reason stated. Language conservation is vital for this language at this stage of revival, so I am uploading text documents and poems in the language that are of notoriety in the community. I plan to upload a photo of the source document as well when I can be sure that it wont be erased.—unsigned comment by MichaelDMelvin23 (talk) .

I think it's high value to keep minority language material. We really need a source for this, tho. What am I even seeing here? Can someone provide an author and a source? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I tried to google it but had no success. -jkb- (talk) 20:36, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

@-jkb-: Kovaf This document, Ee Grasse Widdowes Sorrow is a folk tale passed down for generations and thus the author is unknown, however this specific edition is copied down from a contemporary source during the languages’ use, found in a private collection. It also appears to have been edited at a later date to fix spelling errors. Is there somewhere I should upload a picture of the source document? —unsigned comment by MichaelDMelvin23 (talk) . @Koavf: -jkb- (talk) 18:13, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@MichaelDMelvin23: Thanks. Yes, please do upload a copy of a scan to Commons if that scan is in the public domain or has a free license in the United States and its home country. If it's only in America, upload it here. If you need help, please let me know. Also, the {{ping}} tool only works if you sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). Very much looking forward to this edition of this folk tale. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@-jkb- @Koavf @QueerEcofeminist Uploaded! The document is in the public domain by many many years lol. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ee_Grasse_Widdows_Sorrow.jpg However I did mistitle the file name, thats okay though, should have "Widdowés Zorrow" instead of "Widdows Sorrow". MichaelDMelvin23 (talk) 21:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

@MichaelDMelvin23: Nice. I renamed the file. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

@MichaelDMelvin23, I think issue is resolved now. My issue was unsourced material. Now that we have a source to tally the content. I see no issues. Thanks and regards. QueerEcofeminist (talk) 01:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

thx as well!! -jkb- (talk) 08:08, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

おもろさうし

License information is necessary to kanji annotation. Original annotator may be 外間守善(1924-2012). if he is annotator, licence is not lapsed yet. P9iKC7B1SaKk (talk) 12:34, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

@MathXplore: - Hello! As this is a Japanese text on Multilingual Wikisource, can you confirm if this is out of copyright to be kept on Japanese Wikisource or if it is likely under copyright? -- Satdeep Gill (talk) 07:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

In Japan, copyright protection will be given for 70 years after the author's death (Agency for cultural affairs, Japanese Government). So if the annotator is going to be counted as the author, this content cannot be public domain. To make the discussion easier, I think the author must be identified.

Hi, would someone be able to delete some user pages I don't need anymore? They are User:Maximillion Pegasus/userbox and User:MaximillionBot. Appreciate it! Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

自由與愛情

Already uploaded in zh.wikisource. See zh:自由與愛情.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

But what about the translation? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't get you? The translation is in public domain as well. Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:15, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

If I delete this page, then I will delete the translation as well. It is not present on zh.ws. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

??? It is present on zh.ws, no? Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

There is no comparison and re-translation of the Hungarian original text on zh.ws. Sowhat666 (talk) 17:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't think www.wikisource.org need to do comparison. The original poem can be found at hu.ws and it got translated in many langs. If people need, just move to its page in those langs. Zhxy 519 (talk) 20:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

If you can link to the hu.ws page, then I will ensure that they are connected via a Wikidata item and delete the local page. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

They are all connected via Wikidata. Zhxy 519 (talk) 14:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Can an admin keep this page as I have some reasonable grounds to keep it!

(1) First of all, the content of the old Chinese translation is quite different from the original work. It is a free translation by the translator, adding the translator’s own meaning, and is not completely loyal to the original work. For example: the meaning of the first(生命誠寶貴，) and last lines (二者皆可拋。)of this poem are not included in the original work. There is a little suspicion of distortion, so it is necessary to add the original work for comparison!

(2) If it is really necessary to delete this Chinese translation, there is no need to delete the entire page. Only need to delete the Chinese translations included in the Chinese library. The new Chinese free translation and literal translation on this page and the Hungarian original text comparison can still be retained. . Sowhat666 (talk) 15:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

與宮崎寅藏平山周的談話

It is in public domain in Chinese world from 2024. I would like to take it back to zh:與宮崎寅藏平山周的談話.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikisource:Jimbo Wales against attacks on userpages

Technically not an essay. Just quoting and an example, but no point. If the author want to keep it, it can be moved to their user sub page.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jusjih:, it looks like you tried to have it moved once already. Do you object to userfying this page? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes. I strongly object to userfying this page. Hoping to peacefully solve this matter without pointing to any specific users, sadly some Chinese wiki users have been stalking around on certain matters, not here to build a better free library. The essay is derived from a portion of w:zh:Wikipedia:用戶頁#我的用户页不可以放什么内容？ mentioning Jimbo Wales, so I consider userfying this page unacceptable under my userpage. I also consider the nominating user calling it no point as unacceptable.--Jusjih (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The essay also extends wmf:Policy:Terms of Use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities, so I further object to userfying this page.--Jusjih (talk) 02:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

All documents uploaded by User:Sowhat666

Sowhat666 is taking www.wikisource.org as a place to upload their personal translation, which are mostly unnecessary, and can be done in local zh.ws. See [1].--Zhxy 519 (talk) 23:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
