User talk:Belial~enwikisource
Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
Please consider putting a brief description of yourself on your user page. If you are already a contributor to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia, please mention this on your user page so we know how to contact you. Also, mention which languages you understand if English is not your first language.
In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.
Again, welcome! John Vandenberg 17:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Hunter S. Thompson[edit]
All of w:Hunter S. Thompson's works are covered by copyright, making them inappropriate on this project, however a selection of his quotes can be found at q:Hunter S. Thompson. John Vandenberg 19:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
published vs unpublished translations[edit]
Hi, is the translation of Catullus 51 a published translation? If it isnt, then the header should have "translator = wikisource". See Wikisource:Translations for more details. John Vandenberg 00:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Great. Now the next step is to work out what license you wish to use for your translations: You can choose:
- {{PD-release}}
- {{GFDL}}
- {{CC-BY-SA}}, or
- you can dual-license them under {{GFDL}}/{{CC-BY-SA}}

- I don't have much to add. I'd use {{CC-BY-SA}} personally.--Poetlister 13:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, CC-BY-SA retains the right to be acknowledged as the author. However, if someone modifies what you put, they are also entitled to acknowledgement for what they did, which is why you cannot be credited as the sole author. If in fact nobody modifies it, the history will show that. I'd prefer the Latin on the same page, as it wouldn't make the page too long. If you have a PD version, cut and paste it. I doubt that the Oxford Classical Text is itself copyright, since it would be minimally different from other versions that are definitely PD, though the notes and apparatus would be copyright.--Poetlister 17:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello[edit]
Hello, interested in your project on Catullus. Ockham 09:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Belial. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Belial~enwikisource that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
