If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religious texts, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future!

Author page
I have tidied Author:Mary Phagan Keane to style, though we still require the remainder of the author detail. It would be great if you would be able to complete it to allow us to have appropriate information of that author. — billinghurst  sDrewth  14:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The Murder of Little Mary Phagan
I've taken the liberty of deleting The Murder of Little Mary Phagan, as Wikisource does not permit the inclusion of material under the rubric of fair use. We only accept free content, public domain material or material released under the GFDL or certain Creative Commons licenses.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Linking to Wikipedia
Did you know that a link to Wikipedia can be made using w:, without typing out the word Wikipedia?

So, you can use Henry Fielding instead of Henry Fielding. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:00, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

License and source
Hi. Where work are not supported by a scan, we ask that the source of the text be added to the talk page, ideally using textinfo. Most important with The Rose Tree as the year of publication is important for us to know whether it is out of copyright in the US. Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  02:44, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

I think you will find that the author died over 100 years ago. PatGallacher (talk) 15:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


 * No? The Rose Tree lists Yeats as the author, and Yeats died in 1939. The works in The Winding Stair and Other Poems almost certainly under copyright in the US, for example.--Prosfilaes (talk) 13:35, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Well he died over 80 years ago, which I think makes him out of copyright in the US and a lot of other places. Looking into this further, this poem was published as part of "Michael Robartes and the Dancer", which was published in 1921. PatGallacher (talk) 00:33, 19 June 2021 (UTC)


 * No. In most cases, the year of death is irrelevant to copyright in the US. Works have to published at least 95 years ago (rounded up to the end of the year) to be clearly public domain, with a messy array of exceptions which are unlikely to apply to foreign authors.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:09, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
