The Nine Days

Have you verified that the copyright on this work was not renewed in the United States? --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:35, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes. Fabian Tompsett (MDR) (talk) 22:54, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Index:Knight (1975) Past, Future and the Problem of Communication in the Work of V V Klhebnikov.djvu

Have you checked the status of the article at the rear of this? The author name at the top of the article didn't match the one you've given for the rest of the thesis, ( I am being cautious, in relating the OTRS slip you've submitted only to the thesis unless I hear otherwise.)

Who wrote the additional appended article?

Thanks for that - good point, it was Chris' professor, Peter France. As it is barely legible, I shall replace the dejavu file with these two pages deleted, but that will have to be later on as I haven't got the relevant programme on this computer.Fabian Tompsett (MDR) (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Alternatively, you could ask the academic concerned if they would be willing and able to let their article be preserved/transcribed as well. A published review is still "published" material, which could be included on English Wikisource :). And a review of a work by a poet a lot of people are not likely to have heard of is a potential rarer item that should be valued. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I thought of that, but the appendix was written in 1986 and is not really integral to the thesis. Fabian Tompsett (MDR) (talk) 04:01, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Want to take a look at it? I transcribed a few pages, but the OCR would help :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:06, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Annonated transcript?

Hi! During the enjoyable talk you gave at wmuk:2017 AGM, you mentioned having created an annotated transcript of The Nine Days. I found this transcript - thanks for making it! But I did not find, or perhaps did not understand what you meant by, the "annotations". Please could you point me to them, and w:WP:NOTIFY me at the same time? Thanks again!
