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)

You know about this stub?

• Main Page:Basa Jawa
• User talk:Meursault2004, too

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

Thank you for the welcome. Pelita 07:13, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Georgian main page

Hi, I am doing a Georgian wikisource, please add it on the main page. Main Page:ქართული--Temuri rajavi 16:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello.

The page Main Page:ქართული is not ready yet, as it contains many templates that havent been created yet, and it does not mention თავისუფლება.

When it is ready, you may add it to Template talk:Wikisource languages.

John Vandenberg 01:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

ok thanks--Temuri rajavi 18:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
