Spherical Trigonometry

Hi ZornsLemon,

Please be aware that English Wikisource does not accept second-hand transcriptions, so since they are from Project Gutenberg, File:19770-t.pdf, Index:19770-t.pdf, and all the associated Page:-namespace pages will have to be deleted. If you would like to work on this text there are multiple scans of it on the Internat Archive, including what looks like a rather nice scan of a 1914 revised edition (Internet Archive identifier: sphericaltrigono00todh). Please let me know if you need assistance setting up the scan. Xover (talk) 13:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Xover.

First... sorry about the trouble.

And any kind of your help is welcome.

Please set up the scan. Then I will start from there. ZornsLemon (talk) 13:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Index:Spherical Trigonometry (1914).djvu. And no worries, keeping track of all such things is hard even for experienced contributors. Xover (talk) 16:02, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi ZornsLemon,

I noticed you'd uploaded several illustrations from this work 1) locally on Wikisource, 2) using non-unique file names, and 3) without adding the required information and licensing templates. Except in special circumstances (that do not apply here) we upload all our media files to Wikimedia Commons so that they can be shared with all Wikimedia projects. In fact, you should have been automatically directed to Commons when you tried to upload, so I am somewhat at a loss to how you managed to get them uploaded here. Files should also have globally unique names that follows some human-readable schema (see below). And all files uploaded must have either a {{information}} or {{book}} information template giving information on the author / creator, date, source, etc.; and must have an appropriate licensing template that indicates its copyright status etc.

I have renamed the files, added the required templates, and moved them to Commons, so now you can find them here:

• File:Spherical Trigonometry (1914), p. 23 fig. 1.png
• File:Spherical Trigonometry (1914), p. 25 fig. 1.png

That specific naming format is not a requirement, but for this particular case it is one I recommend. For future uploads please use these as a pattern.

In addition, there was one image that I was unable to identify as being from Spherical Trigonometry.

• File:024fc.png

We will need to have information about its source and copyright status or the file will have to be deleted. Could you please check and clarify? --Xover (talk) 09:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, there.

I think that the pictures I've uploaded are not copyright materials and even if there were copyright issues, it was expired.

For your information, those pictures are captured (by gutenberg project) from the former book Spherical Trigonometry written by the original author Isaac Todhunter.

Since the pictures from the new book you've uploaded contains some scribbles, I chose to use the first version.

I thought that kind of liberty from my part is allowed.

Let me know if I'm mistaken.

And from now on, I will follow your recommendation on the filenames.

Anyway, I hope these issures are cleared as soon as possible.

Then again thanks for your kindness and helpful suggestions. ZornsLemon (talk) 13:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

If you use images from a different source then you need to be extremely thorough in checking that they are in fact identical. We generally do not allow importing content from Gutenberg because they do not specify which edition of a work their text is from, and in some cases they combine multiple editions or silently change the text to some arbitrary standard.

In any case, I have been unable to locate the image File:024fc.png in the edition scanned for Index:Spherical Trigonometry (1914).djvu. So since it is not a part of any work hosted on Wikisource, and lacks the requisite file and license information, I am going to delete it shortly as out of scope. Xover (talk) 19:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
