Rachmaninoff

Hi, and little bit late: welcome here. You started to edit here some more new texts from en.wiki I gues, and I have some questions about it. See [[Talk:Author:Sergei Rachmaninoff]] where it belongs I think. Also, the question is if the category for Rachmaninoff should be Old Church Slavonic (and not Author-R) as well because we have quite a lot of languages here. But anyway I wish you the best in your further work here!!! -jkb- 11:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

No the text isnt from en.wiki. I went looking for OCS texts to expand the category. I did quickly review the copyright, and thought it was PD in USSR prior to 1996. (per en:WS:FORM#URAA-restored_copyright) I may be wrong in this, and will not mind deletion if that is the case. I appreciate you not deleting the texts before giving me time to look into it. I have quickly responded now on the talk page, and will look more deeply into this tomorrow. John Vandenberg 12:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, that is what I mean: old Russian texts are free till the end of this month in any case, but I am not sure what will change after January 2008. Yes, I think I saw a discussion on commons, but as the russian law has no importance for my work on the Czech Wikisource I did not follow it - and i do not say it is not PD: I am not sure, that is all. But might be something will change. Other points I mentionen on the page [[Talk:Author:Sergei Rachmaninoff]]:
1. the source seems to be the web site recmusic.org, therefore it should be mentionen in the header instead of

by Sergei Rachmaninoff, published 1915, from All-Night Vigil, no. 3.

also because the authors of the site reclaim that the original texts are free (I saw a notice there)
2. Rachmaninoff is not the author I think, author is unknown; if Rachmaninoff did something so he made the selection of the texts; an exactly this vould be a problem if the russian copyright law should change in 2008 - not the texts, but the selection could be protected (if something changes... ...)
So long, regards -jkb- 15:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

your reminders - language

The page Knjiga Joëlova is like all edits of the user ([1]) in a Slavonic language, but I cannot judge in which one; light similar to Russian or Ukrainian. -jkb- 14:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

On cs.source somebody told me it could be Croatian, see w:hr:Kategorija:Stari zavjet, -jkb- 17:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I left a notice there in Scriptorium. -jkb- 17:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

It was Croatian, see User talk:-jkb-#Re:Bible in hr?, i have deleted all, -jkb- 16:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Import

Per Wikisource:Scriptorium#import, would you like importing right here? I checked Special:Import but found nothing to import from Commons. If you want, I can nominate you to have importing right at Wikisource:Administrators#Requests_for_importing_right while I am nominating myself.--Jusjih 21:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I can already import; the ability to import from file would also be useful. John Vandenberg 23:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you import from Wikimedia Commons or Meta yet? If not, I would like to nominate you to have importing right. The only user with such a right here is Tim Starling and I do not see Commons or Meta at Special:Import.--Jusjih 23:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

The bug has not been fixed. I will be happy to accept import rights so that we can bypass that bug. John Vandenberg 11:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I do now. John Vandenberg 11:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the announcement. Meursault2004 15:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thx

In fact I don't know if your welcome message arrived some days ago was an authomatic one :). And as you see I don't walk this land so often :(. Many thanks anyway. In fact I was registered in it:wikisource since 2005 but almost never contributed. And my little words in vec:wikisource is just because of my -so so far- early year's land. I don't think I'll be able to do something useful in vec.wikisource. And even in it:wikisource my contribute is barely bareable :)) But hope is the last goddess... Vale!--Horatius 11:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
