This is a recording of the iconic speech made by the United States President John. F Kennedy. This speech is widely quoted in American history (see Inaugural address of John F. Kennedy#Notable passages), including one of the most well known quotes "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." I feel that it meets all of criteria. Thank you for your time. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 01:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nominate and support. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 01:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Support—good one! But ...

Can we have a link to the section that contains the "notable bits" transcribed. Pity there's no full transcription, but I guess it is pretty long. Is there an external link with the full transcription?
Autoformatting correctly keyed in at info page? It's no longer encouraged, anyway, so consider removing and showing the US format: no one minds it, I can assure you. TONY (talk) 08:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What autoformatting are you talking about in particular, I am not sure I understand? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 23:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - See MOSNUM, which no longer encourages date autoformatting and which now prescribes rules for the raw formatting.
  - Sorry, my stupidity—I didn't see the cap for the transcription. TONY (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have unlinked the dates. Thank you for your review Tony. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Providing a transcript is (at the moment) a requirement - but featured sounds are such a very "new" project - in terms of throughput, anyway. Should we change the criteria to explicitly allow an exception for very long FSes not needing a full transcription? Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I am confused by both of your comments, the full transcript is provided under the "transcript" section its a {{hidden}} box, so just click the "show" link on the template and you will see the full transcript. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 23:47, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The hidden box says "Transcript of John F. Fitzgerald's Inaugural Address" Surely that should be "Transcript of John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address"? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The recording is claimed to be in the PD, but it does not state who recorded it. If anyone other than the goverment than not PD. Zginder 2008-07-09T19:48Z (UTC)
- Um no offense but the statement "If anyone other than the goverment [sic] than not PD" is wrong, as anyone can place something in the public domain, but that is neither here nor now. This is most definitely a government work and PD, here lists the recording as PD, here shows an audio collection about JFK where the address is included and claims PD (search for "inaugural" and then "public domain), here claims PD (search for "Inaugural Address 1961"). This is a work by a government official (he was made the president before his speech) thus there is no way that the US gov could copyright this. Do you need any other proof that this file is PD? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 22:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support could we get all inaugural address that have been recorded and make them FS's? Z gin der 2008-07-19T13:06Z (UTC)
