You're back!
Nice to see you back among active usership!-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 18:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- A lot's happened since you were away - I'm User: Perlnerd666, but this is the first time I've contacted you (Only became a user like, 1 day before closing - admin since March, however) - you just have a great reputation. There are a few new admins and CRs, namely, User:P.davydov, and User:Kcleung, as well as me. But it is nice to have all of your info on one page, too ;)-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 16:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi There, I assume this is someone you know and are posting with his blessing. Let me know if not so. Thanks, Carolus 18:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
The Finnish translation
EN: Hi! I just noticed that you had created a Finnish version of the IMSLP mainpage. Thank you very much, it's wonderful to see the translation exist.
Unfortunately I discovered a great deal grammatical mistakes and bad word choices; almost each sentence contains a typographical error or is strangely formulated. Would you mind if I correct them? Thanks, Sakvaka 09:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
FI: Hei! Huomasin juuri että olit luonut suomenkielisen version IMSLP:n etusivusta. Kiitos paljon, on hienoa nähdä käännöksen olevan nyt olemassa.
Valitettavasti löysin siitä suuren joukon kielioppivirheitä ja huonoja sanavalintoja; lähestulkoon joka lause sisältää jonkin kirjoitusvirheen tai on omituisesti muotoiltu. Haittaako sinua, että korjaan ne? Kiitos, Sakvaka 09:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- I just noticed that the user User:Käkki has also promised to help you in translating. Sakvaka 09:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Google scores and books
Hi, You have to get rid of the logos before posting them here. It also helps to get rid of metatags and other assorted nonsense they put in the files. If you can figure out a way to fix the bizarre random appearance of low-res grayscale sections (isolated pages, or even sections of a page), by all means do so. As it stands, the PDFs can crash some printers with their mixture of 600 dpi monochrome TIFFs and 150 dpi grayscale jpegs. I had to delete the ones you posted where logos are present. Clever folks over at Google, putting their logo on every page makes it technically a violation of their trademark to copy and distribute the file without their permission, even if the item they scanned is clearly public domain.

Verlag
Could you give the full name of this publisher? The only Munich Publisher I know of is G. Henle. Verlag is actually just German for publisher...-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 21:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Is it absolutely certain it's Munich? Could it be 'Leipzig: Deutscher Verlag für Musik' (from WorldCat)? KGill talk email 21:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
OK, thanks for the reply. I would go with Gitarrefreund as the name in the future.-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 21:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Stifter
As the word translates to "donor" or "contributor", it's probably not necessary to include it in the editor field as it would have no bearing on copyright status. Carolus 19:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Re: Boije Collection
Hello, and thank you for your message!
I don't have any orderly way of uploading the Boije collection or the Danish Royal Library material - I just browse, and if I see something that is not on IMSLP yet and I have enough information to make a reasonably intelligent attempt at a work page, I upload it. I often have very limited time so I just add one or two things here and there. (I'm at work now and grab a few moments on IMSLP during lunch breaks and between patients).
Please feel free to upload anything you can find, in any order you see fit.
At the moment I am also looking around for any composer pictures I can find on the web, just to make IMSLP look nice.
Thank you for all your contributions - I am currently amazed by how rapidly IMSLP is growing. Aldona 23:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Composer Stubs without a death date
I see we have quite a few of these now... Here's the problem from a copyright point of view: If we do not know the death date of a given composer, we really have no little idea of whether or not the work is free in either Canada (extremely important) or the EU. Thus, when you're adding things by composers like Max Schulz (who I found was born in 1885 along with his complete first name), there is a high possibility that they are not really PD in Canada. It's not such a problem with earlier publications (like 120 years old), or those consisting of much older composers, because the odds of the obscure composer having lived to be 95-110 years is reasonably low. This is not the case with the early 20th century items you've been adding, however. I would suggest that you refrain from adding items in this collection unless you actually know the composer's year of death - which should be no later than 1959 - until the composer's death date can be found. Thanks, Carolus 00:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- I was thinking about this issue a little. So far, the only one I'm really concerned about is Schulz. For most, I think that using the formula of "Birth Date=ca.1870" and "Death Date=ca.1940" on the composer's category page should suffice. Since you're already including the more info tag, it show a good-faith effort on our part to determine the composer's dates and observe the copyright law. No, I'm not going to delete anything unless new evidence surfaces which forces me to do so. Carolus 20:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Redirects
Hi, instead of actually deleting a page (e.g. Duo Nocturne No.6 (Lhoyer)), you can just redirect it to the proper page (if the file isn't to be deleted, that is). You most likely know how to do this: replace the content of the page with '#REDIRECT [[wherever]]'. This prevents any references to the old page from becoming broken, etc. Thanks :-) KGill talk email 01:46, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Arrangements
Hi, We established a protocol for dealing with arrangements and transcriptions since you were here last (after much discussion). When you know something is an arrangement, it should always go under the heading of "Arrangements and Transcriptions", even if you don't know what the original was scored for. For example, on the page Andante Cantabile (Sarenko, Vasilii Stepanovich), we don't really know what Sarenko originally composed the piece for, as all we have is Boije's transcription for solo guitar. When you know the arranger (or transcriber - which are basically two interchangeable words in English), always include the dates (as on the page now) so that the copyright reviewer can make a quick determination for Canada and the EU (where the terms are calculated on death date of the last surviving contributor). Thanks for such a terrific job on adding the Boije collection. I think we had some items previously, but nothing compared to what's been added in the past week. Carolus 18:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
