Adding the complete text of a papal bull (Pius V, 1569)
editI added a row on a bull regarding the Lateran here: List of papal bulls. I found a reference for it (the dissertation of a now-retired professor), and he sent me the text via email because the dissertation is only available on microfilm. There may be another source for the text, but I haven't found one yet.
I'll make a new page for this bull, and do a brief summary of it. I wonder, though, if I can add the full text of it on that page? Even if it's available in a book somewhere, I'm sure it's not available online. It's about 1000 words in English. From looking at other individual bull articles, I don't see this done. Another idea might be to submit it to archive.org and link to that from here. Unclevinny (talk) 20:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Unclevinny: Hi! Please do not add the full bull to the article, as MOS:BLOCKQUOTE indicates the standard for what constitutes an acceptable extended quotation is between 40 and a few hundred words. You can add it as a handy external link and include a couple of quotes from it, though. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- If the professor releases their dissertation into the public domain for WikiSource or allows it on Archive.org, those would be excellent landing places for the dissertation. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:02, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'll see if he would like to release it publicly, for now all I have is a .pdf with a few Appendices. Even if that falls through, though, I can just quote a few key sections of it and cite the dissertation if anyone wants more details. Thanks for the link to the BLOCKQUOTE standard! I figured there was a rule, just wasn't sure what the limit was. Unclevinny (talk) 05:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think just to clarify, the original Papal Bull in Italian would be in the public domain, and likely eligible for inclusion in Wikisource. However, it sounds like the professor sent a translation as part of the dissertation. The translation might be subject to copyright, and the author/translator would have to release or appropriately license the work to upload to Wikipedia or Wikisource. However, quoting the translation would be fine. The original need not be available online for it to be quoted. –Zfish118⋉talk 22:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Rereading my above comments, I'm sorry if I only implied what Zfish118 said, which is absolutely correct. Portions of a translation can be quoted in part, but (unless it's in the public domain) it can't be uploaded to WikiSource. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:10, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
