“ If it's that problematic then put a deletion tag on it, please. Other articles/pages get that all the time that don't even deserve it sometimes. So if it could become that much of a problem then it's fine to delete it. I mean, I think it's fine too, but it's just a page for a hobby time killer after all; so if cause of copyright or other it gets taken down because it doesnt go with wikipedia policy or public domain, then that's fine. It's really too much time and effort spent just to pass the time either way. ”

“ This is not a public domain speech. It is irrelevant that Trump is a government employee. This speech was not part of their government work, and therefore is not automatically public domain. I tried nominating it for speedy deletion on these grounds (it is quite cut and dry: since it's not part of her work as a government employee, it is not automatically public domain) , but someone stopped that wrongly arguing that, because of her government employment, there is nuance to it. There is no nuance. This was entirely a campaign speech, not a speech delivered as part of her government work. ”

“ However, there are non-copyright issues we need to consider. Where did CNN (or was it WaPo originally?) get this transcript? Is it actually a public record? Was the recording legal (states' laws and federal law vary on legal requirements for recordings of telephone conversations) in the first place? Was the path through which the media got the transcript a legal channel? The media have rights, protections, and legal defences that do not apply to us or our reusers. ”

“ Cannot be copyrighted in circumstance A, does not mean that all other circumstances are copyright, just that circumstance. The recording itself may have copyright for its recording value, but that does not copyright the words. ”

“ First, the purpose of Wikisource is not to enable someone to (re) publish works that they cannot get published through a traditional publisher, typically through a literary agent. If your goal is to get these works published you need to talk to a traditional publisher. Wikisource is not a "free web host" for random excerpts of works that may or may not meet our inclusion criteria: there are any number of other places on the web where you can publish whatever you want, including your own website (so I still wonder why you would want to host them here instead of your own website) . ”

“ Per Inductiveload above, you need to reupload the PDF locally here on enWS and then tag it for deletion at Commons (before someone else does it) . Tag the local file with {{do not move to commons|expiry=2026}}. enWS only considers US copyright (while Commons also considers status in country of origin) , so you can usually assume any work published more than 95 years ago is sufficiently public domain for enWS (I'm sure there are exceptions somewhere, but as a rule of thumb...) . We can transwiki back to Commons with FileExporter once its UK copyright expires. ”

“ In the US this might, though I think lawyers would much prefer "I, Joe Schmoe, place my translation in the public domain" to a statement that reads more like a (false) statement than a grant. My understanding is that EU law and most copyright law not based on US law dislikes the whole "dedicate to the public domain" thing, which is why CC-Zero is so much longer, so the fact the translator is Czech might be a problem. ”

“ You are directly contradicted by the United States Copyright Office: "Words and short phrases [...] are uncopyrightable because they contain an insufficient amount of authorship. The Office will not register individual words or brief combina-tions of words, even if the word or short phrase is novel, distinctive, or lends itself to a play on words... Examples of names, titles, or short phrases that do not contain a sufficient amount of creativity to support a claim in copyright include... Mottos, slogans, or other short expressions". ”

“ The pain of the world. The poems were translated into English by another author who also does not seem to release the work under a free licence Some of the poems were published on a site which also claims copyright to all their published materials, e. g. the poem New Oath was published by Lyrics.com which claims all rights reserved for all material contained on this web, and so I think we would need not only the consent of the author and the translator, but also consent of this publisher too. ”

“ If it is not a government work, the compilation by the government doesn't trump Mao's personal copyright, or the translation is not it's not in the Public Domain (which is particularly ironic in this case) , as 廣九直通車 says, via the 1996 URAA restoration, and our descendants can revisit this in 2059. Inductiveload—talk/contribs 13:54, 14 January 2021 (UTC) Nope, the Foreign Languages Press is a state-owned enterprise, as per their official website (外文出版社有限责任公司, Foreign Languages Press Limited) . ”

“ Could one argue that, if the translation is under no copyright protection, then derivatives and commercial use are permitted by law, and the stipulation to not change or sell it is a request that can be legally ignored? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 03:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC) Specifically to Beleg Tâl's point, it's not technically self-contradictory; one can make requests like "please do not change or sell it" without affecting the underlying public domain grant. ”

“ I can't find any mention of a -ND (no derivative works) license, just plain CC BY (attribution) . Can you explain where you found the mention of the -ND limitation? --Xover (talk) 15:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC) @Xover: I did not see any mention of an -ND licence (which explicitely forbids derivatives) , I just wrote that their license does not allow derivatives. It explicitely permits use and reproduction, but it does not say anything about derivatives. However, CC-BY licences do explicitely permit creation of derivatives and so it is imo not compatible with them. ”

“ The Boy from the Yellow house, The secret behind a Sigh, in Shashati Magazine in Egypt, in Horreyati magazine in Egypt, in Anba News in Saudi Arabia, in Al Akhbar, in WRITER’S JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF SERBIAN WRITTERS, in Pravda dialy Newspapers. And for everything we have proofs. Some poems have been printed in a million copies in dialy newspapers and author don’t need “self promotion” on Wiki network, but Deletion is vadalism and discrimination. Some poems even you can find recited by famous actors in public. ”

“ Just to make things clear, may I ask if you are Saša Milivojev, the author of the discussed poems? Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:02, 4 April 2021 (UTC) @Jan.Kamenicek: He is with me right now in coffeeshop, he don’t know editing on Wiki networks, he is author of poems and he can send permissions by email if need. Thank You @Milivojevsasa: If you are not yourself Saša Milivojev, why have you registered an account in their name? What, exactly, is the relationship between yourself and Saša Milivojev? What is it you hope to achieve by posting these works to Wikisource? ”

“ Nature were actually very happy with this series of papers, including the parts they did not publish, and may like to see all the parts of it together, so long as they get due credit for the one paper they published. If they say no nothing has changed. ”

“ The previous commentary for interviews is that they have levels of preparation and scripted questions. Each interviewer and questioner owns the copyright to their component. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:32, 17 February 2021 (UTC) But you can't have a copyright on "And considering that hybrid and virtual school instruction have been in place for nearly a year now, what is the plan and recommendation to get students back into the brick-and-mortar buildings? As a parent of four children, I find it imperative that they get back to school as safely as possible." ”

“ Translation of a press statement of Turkish politician. I don't see that political statements from Turkish politicians are in the public domain. Looking at Commons there is no evident exclusion that we can apply. Further the translation is unsourced, and just says unofficial so no knowledge whether it is by the contributor or just taken from somewhere.
if we delete the page, then we should also delete Author:Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with our usual wording of no works in the public domain; alternatively shut it down with a {{copyright author}} statement. ”

“ And going back to BethNaught's point, did in fact the translator put it in the public domain? This whole thing is a careless sloppy mess, and I'm not really thrilled to have it here, unless someone can get clarification that the translator did in fact make that offer, and preferably a CC-0 license from the translator making their intent perfectly clear.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:55, 2 January 2021 (UTC) Oh, and the document says "The source text for this translation is Eduard Petrů’s Little Writings (Drobné Spisy) , published in 1966. ”

“ Filip Fišnjić does not appear to have any presence on the web, and I am having trouble finding other works they have published. Can you provide more information about this publisher? Also, if you could address my other questions that would be good. --Xover (talk) 21:01, 4 April 2021 (UTC) I have contacted Saša Milivojev using the email from what seems to be his own website. I have received a confirmation that the user using here the username Milivojevsasa is a person known to him and that the poems were added here with his consent. He also asked for advice how to confirm the release of rights. ”

“ Marcosoldfox (talk) 22:40, 4 January 2021 (UTC) @Marcosoldfox: if it had been a call between Trump and a senator, it would be unquestionably PD under US law. If the White House released the transcript, then I'm not sure where it would be. Copyright law is a bizarro world. Sadly for us, just because something is public, and by public officials in the course public duties doesn't necessarily make it public domain. Thank you for the source! Inductiveload—talk/contribs 22:54, 4 January 2021 (UTC) Comment You're welcome. ”

“ These works are being added partly by user:Milivojevsasa and partly by an IP address. I can see there two problems:
Copyright. The contributor adds {{PD-author-release}} to the works, but there is no sign if he is really the same person with the author Saša Milivojev. The poems come from a selfpublished webpage, where it is written that the work is copyrighted, see e. g. ”

@Billinghurst:, the Trumps are not treated any differently by copyright laws than anyone else is. Her job was not "contingent" on this speech. ”
