Diary
Hello,

Please see this site. I am one of the editiors of that site. I already placed a link to your grandfather's diary, but is it all right if I copy the whole diary to that site? After all, it intends to present in one location primary documents concerning the Great War. All the best,Jeff5102 (talk) 21:01, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, please feel free to copy as per the standard Wiki licence. It is my mission to spread grandpa's memories as much as possible. Normally I would prefer linking rather that copying but in this case the text has been developed for 20 years so I expect it to be pretty much final. You may want to link to the Czech original and/or German translation as well. Regards Tomas Svobodat (talk) 21:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Diary license
Hello. There is some additional work that needs to be done in order for us to keep this diary.

1. We need a published copy of the English text to use as a source. Is this the published edition of this text? If so, please upload a copy of this file to Wikimedia Commons. If not, do you have a PDF of the published text you can upload to Wikimedia Commons? We can redact copyrighted material from the PDF file if necessary.

2. We need a free license for the English text. The published copy I linked to above claims that the translation is copyrighted. If you want to release the text under a free license, you will need to either:
 * update your website to confirm that the translation is licensed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 or compatible license, OR
 * contact OTRS to identify yourself as the copyright owner and release the text under a CC BY-SA 3.0 or compatible license.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 * PS German Wikisource deleted the German copy because you did not do these things. If you do this for the German copy also, they may restore the German copy. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 01:57, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for the advice. I will do as you say. Yes, the quoted PDF is the published text. As you have suggested, there are several photos in the book whose copyright I do not own (excluded from the text uploaded to Wikisource) which will have to be redacted from the PDF. Should I just delete them from the PDF or replace them with some "Redacted" placeholder? Svobodat (talk) 18:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it would be better to replace them with some "redacted" placeholder, because the PDF will be more similar to the published edition. However, deleting the photos instead would also be acceptable. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 21:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, the PDF is alive at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diary_of_a_Prisoner_in_World_War_I_by_Josef_%C5%A0r%C3%A1mek.pdf Tomas Svobodat (talk) 13:24, 3 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Perfect, thank you. I have set up the work index and I can take care of the rest. Thank you for your cooperation with this process, and thanks for your contribution and for your translation ! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 14:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Very interesting. I had no idea that things worked so structured-ly in Wikisource Svobodat (talk) 15:58, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
