Physics (Aristotle), Metaphysics
{{closed|1= Delete, not PD in US. Work name retained in expectation of future non-copyrighted translation to be added ResScholar (talk) 23:48, 15 January 2012 (UTC)|text=From Category:Possible copyright violations, Tagged Copyvio since Dec 2011. Jeepday (talk) 16:09, 17 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hm. What is the reason for the copyvio tag?  The text at first blush seems similar to the version here; I see a translation from those two authors in 1930 and I'm not sure I see a renewal for it... Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:41, 18 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Carl, this is the Oxford edition that I thought we assumed was not published simultaneously in the United States while being published in the United Kingdom. The past arguments are listed on the discussion page of Works of Aristotle, the main page conveniently listing the known publication dates and authorship information.

 * Ah OK, missed the fact it was a British work. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Metaphysics
The reason I didn't bring Physics (Aristotle) here immediately was that I wanted to check the other Aristotelian works that might have been added recently. I decided to work on updating the publication details for all the works, tonight, not just the newly added ones and noticed that our copy of Metaphysics, which has been here for years, had a question raised about what edition number it was, the first from 1908 or the second from 1928. I remember asking myself about this, but didn't follow up on it, because I thought the 1908 date was assumed to be correct when it was discussed here in June 2006. The discussion is linked to on the discussion page of Works of Aristotle.

John Vandenberg found the catalog record of the 1908 version and noted it differed from the 1928 version back in November 2007. Nobody followed up on it, but there's no longer any need to do a library hunt: Both versions are now at the Internet Archive. The 1908 version here and the 1928 version here here. It turns out that our version matches the 1928 version. For the same reason mentioned above (assumed non-simultaneous publication in The U.S. and the U.K.) this work, because today still copyrighted in the U.K., fifteen years after the 1996 cut-off date to avoid U.S. URAA copyright restoration laws, is presumably still copyrighted in the U.S. ResScholar (talk) 05:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds like we need to go back to the 1908 version, or delete. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)}}

Works that may not be Edicts of Government
Given the recent clarity brought to what is and is not an Edict of Government, I have started a review of where the tag is used and have tagged and hidden the works in discussion (this list may grow). The reason in each case for why I have tagged and dragged them is because the work states that it is an "Edict of Government" when it is not an "Edict of Goverment" and therefore may be a copyright violation.
