No change to Author:Jeff Berryman[edit]
quoted from my talk page:
- Earlier today you made a change to the Author:Jeff Berryman page that I created earlier in the day. The edit summary for your change read, "1974 = LEGAL ? ????????????????????". That is a little too cryptic for me. What are you asking or what point are you trying to make? --Jeff Ogden, W163 (talk) 03:15, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello, W163. 1st, the only "change" I made was add a space. I wrote nothing and did nothing to the contents. Because we have many vandals, and some I have spotted, I wondered about the date of 1974 being okay for material posted. It's usually around 1923 that works are allowed. I posted about "Legal" with question marks so that administrators would see that and they would remove the material if it was not legal. I am familiar with most names on en.ws and was not familiar with the W163 when I saw the work posted. —William Maury Morris IITalk 03:37, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've been contributing to Wikipedia since 2010, but this is my first contribution to Wikisource. The Paging Game article was written by Author:Jeff Berryman in 1974, but that shouldn't pose a problem because he has placed the article into the Public Domain. --Jeff Ogden, W163 (talk) 03:51, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- I started contributing to Wikipedia in 2006 and have been contributing books on Wikisource since 2009 but the W163 was not familiar to me. I was not aware the 1974 article was in PD so I posted about it in the manner you have seen. It was an alert to our administrators who would know if the article was in PD or not. I meant nothing against you personally. —William Maury Morris IITalk 04:06, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
