@Samwilson This file was loaded as part of the Wikimania Wikisource workshop the other day and came from http://hdl.handle.net/1887.1/item:162941, which marks it as CC BY. Do you have a steer on how to update the licensing information? Avocadobabygirl (talk) 08:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Was the CC-BY a general clause of the digitising institution? (I.E They want credit as the GLAM partner supporting the digitisation)? In the US mere mechanical digitisation does not necessarily create a new copyright. 08:32, 18 August 2023 (UTC) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:32, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

It sounds like the library's claim of CC-BY-SA is not correct and, as @ShakespeareFan00 says, this work should be {{PD-old-70}}. They might be referring to the cover page, and metadata. I'd think we could remove the CC license here though. Sam Wilson 08:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks both, I've updated the license information. Avocadobabygirl (talk) 03:49, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys

Hi! You have recently tried/used Wikimedia Commons features in OpenRefine (uploading files, or editing existing files). I'm curious to hear how this has gone, also if you only briefly tried these features.

To help the OpenRefine team with future improvements, it would be immensely helpful if you would be willing to spend a bit of time filling in two surveys. (Yes, two! Each of them uses a different method and (open source) platform). Both will run until approximately end October 2023.

1. A first, classical, survey (fully anonymous) where you can tell us how you use the Commons features in OpenRefine, and how you (want to) learn to use them better;
2. A second, more experimental survey (also fully anonymous) in which you prioritize the features that matter most to you. This second survey is a bit strange in that you can 'just keep clicking'. Feel free to use it as long or as briefly as you want; you can stop any time. Please also add your own suggestions!

Many thanks! With kind regards, SFauconnier (talk) 09:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
