The Professor's House
Unfortunately, this novel is still under copyright in the United States, so it cannot be hosted here. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:38, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * could you be more specific? What makes you think it is still copyrighted? There are more Cather's works I plan to add, so I need to know which are copyrighted and which are not. --Igel B TyMaHe (talk) 08:26, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's copyrighted because the original copyright was renewed in accordance with US copyright law. I've posted the information and a link to the copyright renewal on Cather's author page. Chances are that any of her works that were originally published in 1923 (or later) will still be under copyright in the US. See Help:Copyright renewals for information about locating relevant information.


 * Also, be aware that Wikisource prefers to create scan-backed copies of works rather than copy-pasting from Gutenberg copies. When there is a copy at Gutenberg, it is redundant to put exactly the same text here. Part of the reason for that is that scan-backed copies allow readers to locate and correct errors, and partly because some Gutenberg texts have footnotes, punctuation, and diacritics stripped out of the text, or have modernized the text in some other way. For example, Gutenberg's copy of My Ántonia instead uses the title My Antonia (without the accent), and the name Ambrož is spelled Ambroz. There are countless examples of these little errors throughout the Gutenberg text. Wikisource's goal is to remain faithful to the original copy, and copying the Gutenberg text is far from best practices. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:16, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought that renewal gave additional 28 years. Wasn't aware second term was automatically increased to 67 yesars. My mistake. --Igel B TyMaHe (talk) 20:41, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
