Hello Ecbre, welcome to the multilingual Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.
This wiki is the original Wikisource wiki, originally hosting works in many languages. The larger collections have been spawned into separate projects, leaving this wiki to serve as a central collaboration point, and as an environment where works without a language subdomain can be started. Refer to our languages list to see which languages still reside on this wiki. You can find a list of the separate language projects on the main page or here and you may want to look at the our coordination page for limitations on placing certain works on the separate language projects.
Most questions and discussions about the community are in the Scriptorium.
The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!
Zyephyrus (talk) 07:36, 6 November 2012 (UTC)Wikitranslation of Die Judenfrage in Deutchland
[edit]I notice that you are undertaking a wiki translation of Index:Die Judenfrage in Deutchland 1936.djvu. I think this is excellent and I encourage you in your work (I am hoping to do something similar with Das Manifest zur Brechung der Zinsknechtschaft after I transcribe it in German). However, an English translation belongs at the English Wikisource - they allow them there, though not all wikisource languages do. Also it seems that the work should first be transcribed in German, which ordinarily should take place at the German Wikisource unless there are complications of copyright that may not apply here.
I also notice that the file is uploaded separately here, it should be at commons, I will move it.
Are you in any way connected to User:Druckerarchives, who uploaded the file?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- one further thing, do you have any information on the copyright? I understand that Austria passed its first copyright law in 1936, if this work was covered wouldn't it still be protected since Drucker only died in 2005? Thanks. --Doug.(talk • contribs) 04:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello Doug,
The Drucker Insitute was searching for Germans who speak English in their last newsletter. They asked for support of the translation of "Die Judenfrage in Deutschalnd". So I started. Before moving it ask them. Regarding the copyright, I assume they are the owner, but you should also ask this.

- Assuming the work is in the public domain, they don't own it and our policies would require the file be moved to Commons and the transcription be moved to the English Wikisource. I will plan on moving the work there (it will have the same name, the only difference is that the URL will start with en.wikisource.org instead of just wikisource.org). I will also come here and provide links to the new location before it gets removed from this site. None of your work so far will be lost, it will just be moved. First, though I need to establish whether the work is really public domain, I'll see about contacting the Drucker Institute. Thank you,--Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
