Talk:Just So Stories
From Wikisource
The first story "How The Whale Got His Throat" is missing, and the eleventh story "The Cat That Walked By Himself" is repeated twice. Please fix. --62.162.195.217 11:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] original illustrations of the book
if I remember well, there was great drawings in the book, made by Kipling himself. He was a supporter of the British Empire & he's quite boring in the most of his books, but these drawings & these stories were great... I'll try to bring them back & upload them then ;) or if someone could help ;p Moorekian 09:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright licence tag
Kipling died in 1936. Just So Stories was published in 1902, and there was an American edition (Scribner) in 1903. Is it appropriate to use {{PD-old-70}} or {{PD-1923}} or both? I'm never sure in cases where both would apply.
When I was editing Middlemarch I was told that the licence tag should go on the Middlemarch main page, rather than in every chapter of the novel. I was wondering how that applies here. The stories are all part of the collection Just So Stories, but, unlike chapters in a novel, they can stand alone. Also, in Middlemarch each chapter had a title like Middlemarch/Chapter 6, whereas the stories in Just So Stories are not published here as subpages of a parent page: we have The Butterfly That Stamped, not Just So Stories/The Butterfly That Stamped. So should the copyright tag go on Just So Stories or on each individual story, or both? Cowardly Lion 02:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- For foreign works, it is often desirable to have two copyright tags: one for US jurisdiction and another for non-US readers where the US law does not apply to them.
- In this case, I think the tags should go on each short story for two reasons: 1) the stories often have different publication history, and 2) because people will often link to one story, and we want the licenses to be visible on the page that people first see. In the case of Middlemarch, it is less likely that I would send a link to chapter 6 to a friend; it is more useful for me to send a link to the main TOC page.
