Source, copyright and other notes edit
This text originally appeared in Issue 25 of Factsheet Five (ISSN 08906823), published February 1988 by Mike Gunderloy. The copyright notice appears as follows:
- "This magazine is not copyrighted. You may reprint whatever you wish, with the exception of the art noted above. It would be nice, though not mandatory, if credit were given to FACTSHEET FIVE."
("Art noted above" refers to various graphics appearing throughout Issue 25.)
Kerry Thornley was an acquaintance of Lee Harvey Oswald and the founder of Discordianism (see also Principia Discordia). During the 1980s and 1990s he wrote a column, using various titles, for the magazine Factsheet Five. I have not seen any of these reprinted online, and thought Wikisource might be a good repository (though I am simultaneously putting these on my own website). If this type of thing is truly within Wikisource's scope, I can (eventually) upload more of Thornley's Factsheet Five columns from Issue 26 through Issue 44.
The text was originally formatted in two columns on one-and-a-half pages. I have left intact Thornley's misspellings, grammar, capitalization, apparent nonsequiturs etc. -- Gyrofrog 20:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have gone back and worked through steps 1 through 5 listed under Help:Adding texts#Advanced procedure. -- Gyrofrog 04:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- This was listed at WS:COPYVIO in spite of the quoted copyright notice, which effectively places the text in the public domain. I am not sure what else I should do to resolve this. Do I need to scan this page and upload it to Wikisource? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
