Sinclair Lewis and the Hack Driver
I appreciate your contributions of the various Sinclair Lewis stories. However, the license you added to them only applies to works published before 1923. The Hack Driver was published in 1923 and was renewed by Sinclair Lewis in 1950, which means it will be out of copyright after 95 years of copyright (from publication), thus on January 1st, 2019, so I had to delete it. Feel free to continue adding works published before 1923, and feel free to post any questions you may have to User talk:Prosfilaes.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the deletion (never thought I would ever say that) :). I didn't know the copyright had been renewed. You did the right thing, since Wikisource is strictly for public domain works and I too would like to keep it that way.
