insufficient licence information

For the work Constitution for the Federation of Earth you are going to need to defend the application of that licence that you applied for that work. In the cited published work, what are the copyright statements at the beginning? — billinghurst sDrewth 23:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst It says, work is in public domain and anyone is free to copy, reproduce and distribute as it doesn't commes under any copyright. Further more it's a constitution so it comes under public domain: Wikisource:What_Wikisource_includes#Documentary_sources, still we can verify it from the publisher if necessary. Thanks.

From the info at Google Books publisher is: World Constitution and Parliament Association. If we are looking more verification. - BeLucky (talk) 03:25, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst As you said I 'need to defend the application of that licence' ... I have sent an email to the publisher and will share their responce as soon as I get it. Let me know if there is another process I need to follow. - BeLucky (talk) 05:05, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst Reply received. Kindly look at the [Ticket#: 2023081910001389] (Ticket link: https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketNumber=2023081910001389). Kindly apply the right copyright tag accordingly. - BeLucky (talk) 06:42, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst And I am well aware of the fact that any copyrighted work is strictly prohibited here and on any Wikipedia sister projects. BeLucky (talk) 02:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst Maybe {{PD-release}} or {{PD-author-release}} could be a alternative choice here. I am not sure. Feel free to change if it fits. Thanks. BeLucky (talk) 02:31, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Some answers. That it is a constitution is not pertinent, as the constitutions we hold are done under {{PD-GovEdict}} which this is not. We need the evidence to support your claim of release. This is the advantage of uploaded scans, they are their own proof. If it is in VRT, then they will apply any relevant release. I haven't had access to that for years. This conversation probably belongs at WS:CV rather than here, though let us see what the mail process brings us. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst From the email of Publisher:

"Your reference to this particular edition (https://books.google.com/books?id=XsoxmgEACAAJ) of 1991, we would like to clarify that it is core text of the constitution, hance free from copyright restrictions."

So now you can decide right tag. Hope this helps. - BeLucky (talk) 11:06, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
