Welcome to Wikisource

Hello, NoonIcarus, 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:

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use!

Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 11:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was originally written in English? If not, then this English translation may be under copyright. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:47, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@EncycloPetey:The translators released the text under fair use copyright in this page of marxists.org. If the article constitutes a copyright violation then I'd be pleased to delete it.--Jamez42 (talk) 21:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm reading your notes correctly, this translation was published in The Anarchists in the Russian Revolution, by Paul Avrich, and which is under copyright through Cornell Press © 1973. If that is the case, then a third party cannot claim to "release" it into the public domain. Only the copyright holder can do that. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:52, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EncycloPetey: I understand; does that mean that the resolution needs another source or translation? There also this source that was cited in Wikipedia's article about the Kronstadt rebellion--Jamez42 (talk) 21:57, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are two ways we could support a translation here: (1) Find a published English translation that is in public domain, use their copy, and cite that source. (2) Find a copy of the original non-English text, support it on the appropriate language Wikisource with a scan, and create an English translation de novo with the assistance of speakers of that language. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EncycloPetey: I'll go with (1). The Internet Archive published under public domain The Kronstadt Rebellion, which includes the resolution.--Jamez42 (talk) 23:06, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
