Source and license
[edit]Hi, just catching up with what you've been adding over the past few days. I note that you not indicated your source(s), nor given a license, for any of the works you've added. All works that we host must be legal to host under US Copyright law. Please go back through your uploads and add your sources and license templates that will allow us to continue to host the works. Without these, we may have to delete the works. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
{{helpme}}beeswax or whoever: I have no idea how to do that stuff you said.
- It means that you cannot just copy&paste text without showing that they are in the public domain and with no indication of where you got the text from. See Help:Beginner's_guide_to_copyright.— Mpaa (talk) 13:23, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Adding a source means creating the Talk: page for each work with a {{Textinfo}} template. There is a field in this template for the URL that you have copied the material from.
Adding a license means that you add the appropriate license template to the end of the page. A list of possible templates are at Help:Copyright tags. The onus is on the uploader of a text to work out which is the right license. For Howard's works there are several licenses that might apply depending on when and where the work was first published—and whether there was a renewal.
