Merger of terra nullis
editWhen you tag articles for merging, you should also initiate the discussion with your rationale - it is not sufficient to express that rationale in your edit summary--Matilda talk 21:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi - thanks for contributing to the discussion. In my view that the two terms can be translated into one in Italian does not make them synonymous in English --Matilda talk 23:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

editGood catch on The Pillow Book: translations of public-domain works are indeed copyright-protected, and American copyright on anything written in 1976 expires no earlier than 2046 (and later still by the amount the author lived past then). Everything before 1920 has expired, and between then and 1948, it depends on whether the copyright was renewed 28 years after written. Nothing written since 1948 expires earlier than 2018! And i think that's true (even before 1976) without requiring the work to have included a copyright notice.
I'd say your reverted May edit was made in good faith, and that WP is likely to benefit as you find your feet here. You should consider registering for an acct, which will let people recognize you (without having to dig up your contribs page) and thus help you build a good reputation among your colleagues.

Euro template
editThank you for your suggestion regarding Template:Non-euro currencies of the European Union. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Pfainuk talk 12:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
