Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. Creating an account on Wikisource has many of the same benefits as creating an account on Wikipedia. For one thing, if you continue to edit without a username, your IP address is used to publicly identify you.

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!

And so his boyhood...[edit]

Thank you for adding two new poems to Wikisource. However, this one, "And so his boyhood...", is still under copyright. It was published in 1937 and Howard's estate renewed the copyright in 1965, as was the system at the time. The copyright term in the United States is 95 years, so this poem will not be in the public domain in the United States until 2032. Wikisource's servers are located in the United States (Tampa, Florida to be precise) so we must abide by United States law. On the other hand, Canadian copyright mostly works on the date of the author's death, so this poem is in the public domain in Canada (and other countries with a similar system). I have therefore copied your contribution to the Canadian site Wikilivres as Fragment (the original title in Weird Tales). "Song at Midnight" was not renewed and so it is the public domain in the United States; thanks for adding it to Wikisource. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 14:08, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
