Talk:Bible (King James Version, 1611)

Copyright
The King James Version is also known as the Authorized Version. In most of the world, it has passed out of copyright and can be freely reproduced. In the United Kingdom, however, it is still copyrighted and is subject to an eternal Crown copyright. Permission to publish in England and Wales can be obtained by following the guidance in A Brief Guide to Liturgical Copyright, third edition (PDF file); permission to publish in Scotland requires contacting the Scottish Bible Board.

ProofreadPage
Is there anything impeding the use of ProofreadPage? Heyzeuss (talk) 07:36, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * According to Wikimedia Commons:Licensing a book cannot be uploaded to Commons unless it is "in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work." This book is not in the public domain in the United Kingdom (the source country), so it can't be uploaded to Commons for page-by-page proofreading in Wikisource. The book has been scanned and is available here at the Internet Archive. It makes the proofreading difficult. Outlier59 (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Scans are up, ProofreadPage can now be used. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 15:06, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Update link
This link no longer loads, I believe the link moved to http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/sceti/printedbooksNew/index.cfm?textID=kjbible&PagePosition=1

The full source information seems to be:
 * King James Bible (editio princeps, 1611)
 * The Horace Howard Furness Shakespeare Library
 * Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text & Image
 * The University of Pennsylvania Libraries

Disambiguation
Since this is no longer the only King James translation on Wikisource, it is necessary to further disambiguate. I suggest that the page be moved to Bible (King James, 1611), but I am open to other suggestions as well. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 14:32, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * This text has no source scan, and a scan can't be uploaded to WikiMedia Commons because it's under copyright in the United Kingdom (the country of origin). Based on that, I suggest delete it. Outlier59 (talk) 01:58, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
