Kathi people

Hi, Nthep, how are you? I'm a little surprised that you revdeleted this revision of Kathi people, and wondered if you are quite sure that a book from 1916 is still in copyright under United States law, even if published in the UK (where I believe the copyright will not expire until 70 years from the death of Wilberforce-Bell in 1956, (i.e., 2027), but does not concern us in this project). I think/thought we treated anything published before 1923 as PD? For reference, the source is archived here, page 67. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers Happy Betwixtmas. It's a edge case, ideally it would be PD in both the US and the UK per Wikipedia:Copyrights#Governing copyright law and it definitely isn't PD in the UK yet. When I looked at the source given in the revdel request I couldn't see a publication date so it went. As you've given a better source and the 1916 date I've undone the revdel.

Thank you, Nthep, I think that's in line with our policy (whatever Jimbo says). Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:53, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Request to make earlier article titled, "Draft: Nikhil Chopra" available for editing

Hello Nthep,

Hope you are doing well and wishing you a very Happy and Safe New Year!

A gentle request to have my earlier article titled, "Draft: Nikhil Chopra" available to edit again.

I'm aware that the article in its current state has copyright infringements, but I was in the process of adding the citations and reference links to them.

Would it be possible to have the article available for editing so that I can make the necessary edits to it?

Look forward to hearing from you.


Kind regards, Wayne — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wayne Pinto at Chatterjee & Lal (talk • contribs) 13:29, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wayne Pinto at Chatterjee & Lal There is nothing stopping you starting again on Draft:Nikhil Chopra but I am not restoring copyrighted content even for a short time. If the only way to develop the content is from your gallery's website then you'll have to prepare the content offline first, then copy it into Wikipedia after you have ensured it is no longer in violation of the copyright.
