On the death of Comrade Kobayashi

edit

Hi Interaccoonale,

Thank you for your contributions on On the death of Comrade Kobayashi. However, there appears to be a licensing issue, in that the current license claims it is public domain in the US due to being published more than 95 years ago (i.e. before 1927) while the date on the work itself appears to be 1933. Could you please reconcile this discrepancy and make sure the text is properly licensed?

PS. As a user translation it will live in the Translation: namespace, but I would like to resolve the licensing issue before moving it anywhere. --Xover (talk) 08:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and please do not remove the {{copyvio}} tag until the deletion discussion is closed (in which case the closing admin should typically do it). Please rather participate in the discussion at: WS:CV#On the death of Comrade Kobayashi. Xover (talk) 08:27, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
This template is causing the text to not display properly, please fix it, or I will remove the template. Interaccoonale (talk) 03:11, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Once a copyright discussion has been opened, please do not remove the {{copyvio}} tag. The outcome of the discussion will be determined by an admin once they feel a consensus is reached, but not before at least two weeks has passed. Xover (talk) 06:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

And, even if you insist on placing the template, please don't also revert my edits to the licening template. Others told me that PD/1996 should be used here. Interaccoonale (talk) 07:21, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Please resolve the displaying problem. Interaccoonale (talk) 08:56, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
This is not a display problem; it is the intended function of the copyvio template. So long as the licensing status of the text is not determined it is a potential copyright violation and is hidden for that reason. There is also not much point to changing the license tag while discussion is still ongoing since the subsequent discussion may determine that a different license tag is more appropriate (or it may get deleted if it turns out the licensing status is not compatible).

So, does this mean that anyone can mark any article as copyvio and make all articles unreadable? Are users responsible for incorrect copyvio discussion? Interaccoonale (talk) 09:22, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Anyone can open a copyright discussion, yes. And all users are responsible for their actions on this project. Xover (talk) 10:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Does this mean anyone can make any article unreadable for at least two weeks? Interaccoonale (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I am not sure what your point is. I have already answered your question. Xover (talk) 10:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
