Acaranga Sutra/Jacobi's Letter
Gday. Have you evidence that the work Acaranga Sutra/Jacobi's Letter is in the public domain? As it is a letter it would need to be demonstrated either that the author is dead by 70 years, and that the work has been published, or that the author has put the letter into the public domain. — billinghurst  sDrewth  12:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. Hermann Jacobi died in 1937, i.e. past 73 years. Hence it is in public domain. Check the article on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Jacobi .--Anishshah19 (talk) 14:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it is not that simple. We have an AND test not solely that the person is deceased.  If the work was published in their lifetime and they are deceased by more than 70 years, then it is in the public domain.  If it was not published we are okay; however, if it was published posthumously, then we have a series of tests.  Please see http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm .  Once we determine that we can work out how we handle that.
 * Further, the letter was not part of the work Acaranga Sutra so it is not subsidiary to the title, and as such should be classed as a work of its own right and would therefore sit at the top level. Let us work on 1) can we keep it; if yes then 2) what should we entitle it and 3) the appropriate copyright tag. — billinghurst  sDrewth  00:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)


 * This is interesting. However I am of opinion that this is in public domain as:
 * The author died in 1937 i.e. 73 years before, and
 * This letter was published in 1933 i.e. before the death of the author in the book The Review of Philosophy and Religion" (vol. IV, No. 2). (1933) . It was published in the chapter Prohibition of flesh-eating in Jainism' by H. R. Kapadia. . Kindly go through the evidence. I hope this should resolve the issue.--Anishshah19 (talk) 08:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That ticks the boxes for me. We need to
 * move the letter to something at the top of the namespace, with a name that is more explanatory
 * tag the letter with
 * add  to the header and we can add a previous link to the work to which this is the subpage
 * probably can add a NEXT link from the other work to this
 * we'll need to build the author page, though I can do that after — billinghurst  sDrewth  12:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks you very much for takeng interest in improving this page. However, to give a background, this letter addresses a controversy due to authors translation of a particular passage. Hence it is quite important. Translation of Acaranga Sutra should be accompanied by this letter so as to bring a proper perspective to the translation. Hence I suggest that it remain as a sub-page of Acaranga sutra.--Anishshah19 (talk) 13:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you suggest a good name for this sub-page if Jacobi's letter is not appropraite. How about Jacobi's letter on Acaranga controversy of meat-eating? I will make other changes suggested by you but I am logging off for now. Thanks--Anishshah19 (talk) 13:07, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have moved the letter to a work of that name. The work is an independent piece of work, and accordingly our style is to not make it subsidiary to another work, and instead link it appropriately.  Also we create the author pages (which I have done), rather than link off to WP, or other pages. — billinghurst  sDrewth  21:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Its much better now.--Anishshah19 (talk) 06:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

This work was uploaded by you, for a work in 2003. For Wikisource to host this work, we require a permission from the author. The process to follow is similar to that at Commons:Commons:OTRS, though the email should be sent to wikisource@wikimedia.org, so that we can process it. — billinghurst  sDrewth  15:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * This work has been tagged with OTRS pending since December 2010 but a search of the OTRS database did not reveal any emails regarding this work, although there were emails about Mr. Patil's award from a Jain organization. If you are still active, it might be worth chasing this up, otherwise it will probably have to be nominated for deletion.  Green Giant  ( talk )  14:23, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Translations of Manish Modi
You have uploaded three translations by Manish Modi: Logassa, Mangala Sutra, and Namotthunam. You tagged all of them with PD-release. Are you Manish Modi? If not, what evidence do you have that Modi has released these texts into the public domain? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 21:40, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
