  • Hi and be welcome! -jkb- 17:03, 12 February 2016 (PST)
  • Hello! Thank you! I would like to add the french physicist Paul Langevin to Category:French authors, to Category:Physicists, to Category:20th century authors, and to Template:NewAuthors. Please help me. Thanks in advance. Paul-Eric Langevin 13:40, 13 February 2016 (PST)
  • I am trying to edit the following picture: Image:Paul Langevin Wellcome2.jpg|thumb|Paul Langevin on the page but I don't succeed in doing that, I don't know what is wrong. Thank you to help me. Paul-Eric Langevin 00:05, 16 February 2016 (PST)
  • See here: Wikilivres:Community Portal/en; I think that the problem is that you created too many "empty" authors pages, without their works (or works that can't be put here because they a still copyrighted - they are "too young" to be put here). Usually we make the autor's page when his/her work is puting here... Electron ツ ➧☎ 15:41, 28 February 2016 (PST)
  • I precisely started to use wikilivres instead of wikisource for Paul Langevin because it could be used for texts not yet in the public domain. About the "empty" pages that don't present enough texts, it is just a question of time. The authors are not too young, they are important authors of the 20th century, but I am OK to discuss it case by case, thanks Paul-Eric Langevin 00:50, 29 February 2016 (PST)
  • Ok, thank you for all the information, don't forget to upload the pictures for the authors that don't create any problem. Thanks. Paul-Eric Langevin 13:25, 29 February 2016 (PST)
  • Please stop adding texts by authors that are still copyrigted in Canada, they all will be deleted -> Wikilivres:Possible copyright violations‎‎. If you don't stop your account wil be bloked. Also if you add a text you shold produce the source link from where it was taken. I'm think that you understend the problem. Electron ツ ➧☎ 08:00, 29 February 2016 (PST)
  • I understand the problem, I just thought texts on wikilivres could be added even if not in the public domain but apparently it's not the case, please don't block my account, just give me information about texts which can be added and texts which can not. Give me information about authors that are indeed in the public domain and others that are not. Suppress the texts which are a problem of rights. And don't forget to upload the pictures of authors that are with no doubt free of rights. Thank you very much. Paul-Eric Langevin 17:20, 29 February 2016 (PST)
  • I produced the links above, with descripions about Canadian copyrigths. Generally, all works done by an author are PD in Canada 50 year after authors death. All exlusion should be documented by editor why he thinks they are in PD - but it is specific and the user should understend Canadian low, before upload. There is no other way but read it carefully.
  • If you think that we should have empty author's pages you should start the discusion on commmunity portal, to produce the argumants for your thinking. Electron ツ ➧☎ 08:35, 29 February 2016 (PST)

Authors & Public Domain

  • Hi Paul-Eric, Electron did describe some problems above. One point is the copyright violation in some cases - I'm sorry but I will have to delete the pages; I will wait with it till tommorow, so if you wish to save the code text you have time to do it. Another problem are the author pages of authors, who are not or will not be in the public domain for a long time. I found the pages like Henri Cartan (died 2008), Ève Curie (2007) and others - the works will be free in 2058 or 2059! Wikilivres is (like Wikisource) a project for texts; we supply the author pages just to keep the text together, the author pages have quite secondary role. Thus, normally, every author should have some works published here. Bibliography and the list of works - that is something for Wikipedia projects. I think the author pages can stay here anyway, thank you for you work with it, but as you can see, many of them will stay "orphan" for a very long time. OK, cheers, -jkb- 16:06, 29 February 2016 (PST)
  • Hello -jkb-, thank you for your message, indeed some authors are still not in the public domain for a very long time. Thanks to keep in state the pages I created. But for the authors that are in the public domain for a long time, I will try to complete the pages with texts and works, so the pages can be useful and seem like any other page on this encyclopedy. I am trying to do so today with the work of Georges Politzer, died in 1942, more than 70 years ago. Tell me about the texts that you want to delete before deleting it, please. Thanks for the informations and good night, Paul-Eric Langevin 01:35, 1 March 2016 (PST)
  • Hi Paul-Eric. Concerning the last events here I would like to mention some points. As I can see from your contributions lists in the WMF projects, you edit there since more months, but probably you did not study the problems of licences and copyright sufficiently. So, apart from the links, you got from Electron, the simple rules are like this: according to the copyright law of canada the works are normaly protected 50 years after the death od the author. That means: works of an author, who died 1966 or later, are still protected an cannot be published here. Works of authors, who died 1965 or earlier, are free since January 1st 2016. In the Wikisource projects the term is not 50 but 70 years after the death, that's the main difference. The domain Wikilivres did simply decided to respect these juristical laws. OK, I'm sure you will find many authors you can use for Wikilivres. Cheers. -jkb- 16:49, 5 March 2016 (PST)
  • Hello, thanks for the message and the information. Keeping in touch, Paul-Eric Langevin 23:00, 6 March 2016 (PST)

Texts

  • Oh shit, realy, see Mathematische Probleme, I formated it a long time ago and I loved it (not!). I will have a look at your texts, <math> is not my best favourite ... But it could take time. -jkb- 12:43, 3 March 2016 (PST)
  • Hi. It's probably more difficult as I thought. After I have controlled the chapters of Mathematische Probleme I recognized, that the syntax doesn't work any more, there seem to be some software problems with it; I tried to write your formulas step by step, but I had no success. I'm afraid either somebody else must help you or the software must be upgraded. Sorry, but I am in fack no expert in this. Cheers, -jkb- 16:50, 5 March 2016 (PST)
  • Hello, thanks for your help, about equations of mathematical physics, indeed it's not as simple as it seems. Try to find someone else who could help me. I will take a look on my own, especially about TEX language applied to Wikilivres. Cheers, Paul-Eric Langevin 13:50, 6 March 2016 (PST)
  • Done. Next time try yourselve - I suppose you have done more than 100 edits, so you are an autoconfirmed user user now; if so you should be able to edit this page. Electron ツ ➧☎ 15:51, 15 March 2016 (PDT)
  • OK, I will try to upload them during weekend. Also you can try to upload them yourselfe, push "uplad file" on the left sidebord and put approciate licence templates, see e.g. here Electron ツ ➧☎ 17:14, 25 March 2016 (PDT) Done. Electron ツ ➧☎ 03:21, 2 April 2016 (PDT)
