I have set up a transcription project Index:American Poetry 1922.djvu; the text for each page can probably be easily found on the net. John Vandenberg (chat) 01:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, we would love it. The way we do transcription projects is each page of text is added beside the image. For example, go to "Page:American Poetry 1922.djvu/17" , and add the text of Author:Amy Lowells Lilacs. At the top of each page are buttons that navigate to the previous and next pages. While you do that, I will show you how to join the pages together so the reader can see it all on a single page. John Vandenberg (chat) 14:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it is because at the end of each line, there are a number of tabs, or spaces, or something strange. I am finding the easiest way to fix it is to go to the last character of the line, and then press shift+end then delete. John Vandenberg (chat) 15:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, American Poetry 1922 and Lilacs (Lowell) have been set up. There are some minor line spacing issues with Lilacs (Lowell); dont be too worried about them, as the "poem" presentation software is being improved. I'll hassle the developer about it to see what further adjustments are required.
I need to head to bed now, but will check your progress tomorrow and help out if you have any queries. John Vandenberg (chat) 15:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: To Roosevelt
I hope I did this correctly, but I release my translation into Public Domain.
Thanks for notifying me about the need.

[edit] Re: Paradise Lost
Thanks for the link and kind note! I had forgotten about the Google Books option. That will help me with my copyediting.
Thanks again!

[edit] Marian Edwardes
From a quick look-see. The Marian of interest is active in the 1900-1910 period, looks to be UK (advertisement The times 1901). I can see:
- Marian b.1853 in London, daughter of David and Lydia. Father was MD. Nothing evident in a career-sense, though translation would not necessarily show up. Mother died 1894, so would seem likely that time to strike out and do something and help financially. Also looks to be publication in 1929. Death records after that are available but a bloody nuisance to peruse.
- Marian b.c1872 (married name) and occupation in 1901 does not seem to be academic, remarried 1904.

[edit] Obama Executive Order
Why did you remove Obama's Executive Order list from the list of US Executive Orders; those of 6 other presidents already have that label, and doesn't it make sense to have all American Presidential Executive orders in one place? Shouldn't not only the Obama listing, but all of the the orders themselves be in that category? Maybe there's something I'm missing- I am fairly new to this, so I thought I'd ask... --Bleemsz (talk) 22:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Highlights of Copyright Amendments Contained in the URAA
I think that you asked for this. (If not, then I am a doofus) Viola! You may wish to go and section-ise if you are wishing to call up component. :-) -- billinghurst (talk) 12:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Slanderous edits
Please see this message, this edit, etc. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Here's the thing; I don't really care. I don't understand the point of the Wikisource Bible translation, and would expect that if it is to be successful, there would have to be a strong team keeping it together. Fixing things like this would be the job of that team who knows that's good and bad for their translation. My only concern is the set of pages from The Sources for Genesis.--Prosfilaes (talk) 13:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] WS:WWI
What language would you propose for this policy to clarify what variation of "English" are accepted here? I would like to make a proposal with several options for people to discuss instead of the current straw poll. But I am not sure I can succeed at drafting something for your position. Please feel free to suggest several drafts if you like. I am planning on showing a range of options to discuss.--BirgitteSB 17:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I am not finding the time to follow through with this right now. My main co-worker started maternity leave this week and I am just swamped. I don't think that we need different proposals if someone else wants to take charge on getting the policy clarified. It was just how I planned to do it, mainly because I am aware of my own strong preference on the issue.--BirgitteSB 13:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Thank You
Thank you for fixing the wording on the "Journal of Major Andre" page so it now links to his author's page. It was an enormous help.
Also, thank you for filling me on what was going on with Jonah Musto Sr. That really worried me for awhile. Good thing he's blocked now. Some people just think they can do whatever they want.
[edit] Request for opinion
Hi,
Could you cast your eye over Wikisource:Possible_copyright_violations#Sir_Gerald_Kaufman's_15.01.2009_speech_on_Gaza_Strike_at_House_of_Commons for me? I'm not really sure what should be done in this situation. There seems to be debate about whether or not Gerald Kaufman owns the copyright to the speech or not, and I'm not really very sure in matters of UK work-for-hire laws. (The release is not complete enough, but if he doesn't own the copyright, then there's no point discussing the release at the minute.) Jude (talk) 00:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Copyright-until
Gday. Not sure whether you have seen the {{Copyright-until}} template or not. Sometimes I will use that template rather than a reversion to cover issues where people have added work. It becomes more about a modification, than a removal. -- billinghurst (talk) 14:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright search
Could you pop past User talk:Ansicpl look at the discussion about Propaganda and see if you can assist with the question of whether it is copyright or not. You are far better at that than I. Thanks. -- billinghurst (talk) 01:17, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Adminship
Hi. I'd like to nominate you for adminship, if you will accept. I believe your having the tools will be a boon to the community, especially in regards to matters of copyright. Jude (talk) 08:48, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Tapped on the shoulder!
Due and I have done you in at Wikisource:Administrators#User:Prosfilaes If you are willing to be conscripted, your thumbprint by your nomination would be much appreciated. Regards. billinghurst (talk) 09:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- You now have a the sysop flag. Congratulations!--BirgitteSB 18:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Fine
I'm sure a clear headed administrator will eventually note that the speech was publicly released, per the talk page, and thus you haven't got a leg to stand on, but I'll continue waiting for that day to come. Why you are incapable of realizing this yourself completely perplexes me. -- Kendrick7 (talk) 00:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
