User talk:Objectivist

Hello Objectivist, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

You'll find an (incomplete) index of our works listed at Works, although for very broad categories like poetry you may wish to look at the categories like Category:Poems instead.

Please take a glance at our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). Most questions and discussions about the community are held at the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page! Yann (talk) 08:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Cold Fusion Hypothesis
Hello,

Texts need to be in the public domain or under a free license to be published in Wikisource. I deleted it because of "© 2000-2008 by Vernon Nemitz". Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That text DID have a free license, as indicated by the sentence that followed the copyright notice: "Copyright shared with all who retain the previous line." The original text at this link: http://www.nemitz.net/vernon/cfusion.txt also has it. I want to know how you can be reprimanded for not even bothering to try to find out whether or not I, the poster here, is also the author of the text.  YOU WILL RESTORE THAT POSTING.  You can also pass word up the chain of site-designers that if a new user cannot easily FIND an easier and/or more-explicit way of specifying shared-copyright status, then the site-design is flawed and needs improvement!


 * Sorry, but this sentence is not a free license. It just means that the copyright is shared between several authors. I restored the text for further input by other experienced contributors. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You are wrong; as the sole author I most certainly know what it means to share a copyright, which is literally the "right to copy", with all who retain the copyright notice.


 * As sole author, you most certainly know what you meant by that, but that doesn't mean that's what it means. If you put it under a a standard copyright license, it will help other people understand what you mean.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
