A Good Reference For Copyright Rules

Hello, I keep being asked questions about copyright at work because (thanks to Wiki) I know about the different CC by x licences. I have tried to make it clear that I know nothing beyond what can be found at Creative Commons. Is there a good resource anywhere for understanding different copyright rules and how they interact? Red Fiona (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We have an article Copyright that is a good start. Not only are the rules complicated, but they are also different in different jurisdictions, for which Commons:Copyright rules by territory is helpful. For example, it gives a link to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Australia. --Lambiam 22:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are various help pages for uploading images to Wikipedia/Commons, such as Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright, commons:Commons:Copyright_rules, commons:Commons:Hirtle chart, commons:Commons:International copyright quick reference guide. etc. AnonMoos (talk) 00:09, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commons is already complicated enough as it is, and that's just our own rules for uploading images. Copyright laws in general, and the relations between them (meaning, which laws apply at each given case) is a topic for a full college major. Perhaps if you make a more specific question?

Hisham ibn Urwah Haddits

Wich Haddits has Hisham ibn Urwah handed down after he goes to Iraq? 2A02:8071:60A0:92E0:0:0:0:3C37 (talk) 21:55, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some of his hadiths are listed at "Hadith Narrated By Hisham bin Urwah" in the Hadith Library at ahadith.co.uk. However, there is no indication whether they were narrated before or after he came to Iraq. --Lambiam 22:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which Bible version(s) changed the place names to US ones?

I know at least one was made. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 23:34, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall any of the events in the Bible occurring in North America. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:36, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sagittarian Milky Way: the Cotton Patch series seems to fit that bill. Hack (talk) 01:31, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's it. I completely forgot the name. I wonder if that's the only one (besides the extra Mormon books which are only Biblical to Mormons). Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do Mormons use "Bible" to include the Book of Mormon, D&C, and Pearl? Since they use "Standard Works" to encompass all of those, I suppose they use "Bible" to mean just OT and NT. Nyttend (talk) 02:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if they ever do. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 02:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's not normal; see image at right. Nyttend (talk) 03:55, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Book of Mormon is called another testament of Jesus Christ in tracts marketing to believers of 2 testaments though. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
