German ideology

regarding The German Ideology, we need to know what country it was published in, and what is the nationality of each of the translators, as well as the year each of those translators died. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 22:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome template. The translators are still alive, however it comes from www.marx.org, which has all its works under public domain. as you can see this is my first paper, and I am still sorting through how to acomplish the task. I will go over the welcome template again. do I create a page for the translators...or how do I indicate it came from public domain?Coffeepusher 02:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The translators implicitly have a copyright on their translation. Do you have evidence that they have released their work into the public domain? John Vandenberg ^(chat) 02:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

on the website it stated that all works where of public domain unless otherwise indicated...and there was no idication. I added the template for public domain.Coffeepusher 02:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I've spoken with the Marxist Internet Archive before and they've confirmed to me that all their original translations are PD, for what it's worth. They host a few translations which aren't their own and some texts that might not fit on WS ( by more modern Marxists and Communists), but in the case of a work by Marx (thus PD) and translated by the MIA themselves, I can say with 99.99% certainty that it is indeed PD. :) Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:Aeschylus} 02:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you have that in writing; do they have a statement to that effect on their website, or can you forward an email from them to m:OTRS ? John Vandenberg ^(chat) 02:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I've probably got an eMail, I'll check when I get home from work. If I don't still have one, I'll eMail them again for another copy of their notice of release. Cheers. Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:Aeschylus} 02:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Its on http://www.marx.org at the bottom of the page, listing that it is public domainCoffeepusher 02:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

It says that MIA created content is covered by {{CC-BY-SA}} John Vandenberg ^(chat) 02:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I have added the template.Coffeepusher 02:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

If this work is best broken down into section, I think the sub-pages should be called "Section X" instead of "SectionX", e.g. The German Ideology/Section 1‎ . Please confirm, and I will move these pages. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 02:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

That sounds great, I have already made internal "next page" Tags within the text, just fyi so those will need to be spaced as well.Coffeepusher 02:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

All pages need to have a header. I have tagged The German Ideology/Section 1 as needing a header, but the same applies to the other pages. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your time, I appriciate you helping me out. I will add headers to all the pages in just a min.Coffeepusher 04:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries. Take you time. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The naming of the subpages is strange, and not in line with our naming conventions at WS:STYLE. This doesnt need to be resolved immediately, as it is better that we discuss it and find the right naming approach before making rash changes.

Typically it should be broken down into books, and then into chapters. i.e. The German Ideology/Book I/Chapter 1. Is there some reason why this isnt suitable? If this could be a complex discussion, the best place to have the discussion is at Talk:The German Ideology where everyone can add their thoughts. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 08:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

To answer your question, no. there is no reason it shouldn't be that way. the reason I broke it down the way it is structured is that is the way it was broken down in the origional text (on line that is) and the naming was just what I came up with...the third chapter exploded on me (I had never read the third chapter, only summeries so I didn't realise how long it actually was), so it may seem a little haphazard. I will be glad to go with whatever your suggestion is in this matter, because I agree it doesn't look right, I just can't really tell why (beeing a newbie).Coffeepusher 21:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
