Talk:The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1910)

Copyvio & Incorrect License...
According to the linked biography Beatrix Potter died in 1946. This means that the authour died less than 50 years ago. Consequently by current Uk rules, the work is NOT yet out of copyright. ShakespeareFan00 07:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That's true, but it's PD in the United States, as it was published before 1923. Cowardly Lion 22:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * To summarise my discussion with ShakespeareFan00 in #wikisource, this images are a part of the Project Gutenberg eBook. Presumably, the book went through P.G.'s copyright clearance. While it is probably a good idea to look into it further, I don't think you can say that because the images look too new that they couldn't be public domain... You can find scans from a 1985 (re-)printing(?)  with the images in black and white. --Benn Newman 21:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I have rolled back the remove of these images as they are not 100% obvious copyright violations; if there is sufficient doubt about their status, they should be raised on WS:COPYVIO to be discussed. John Vandenberg (chat) 10:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyediting
I've finished adding the images, and I've copyedited the whole book (not very long!), word for word, punctuation, etc., from the Frederick Warne 1987 printed edition. Cowardly Lion 22:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Erm, Please do NOT insert such images without being sure of thier copyright status. ShakespeareFan00 21:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
