Author talk:Joseph Rudyard Kipling

Kipling died 18 January 1936. His works are not in the Public Domain prior to 1 January 2007. --Kébec 15:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

With the exception of works published in the US prior to 1923. All his works were published in US as well as elsewhere. This is why the latter part (post-1923) of the chronological list are not redlinks. --BirgitteSB 15:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Departmental Ditties and Ballads and Barrack-Room Ballads (1899, 1914, 1919)

Since they are quite interwoven, a 'See also' cross-linking each of the versions pages would be appropriate? John Vandenberg ^(chat) 13:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

@John Vandenberg: Done. But now thinking that the versions pages should technically be disambiguation pages considering works content? Thoughts? Londonjackbooks (talk) 14:02, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

I tend to consider 'disambiguation' on Wikisource as unrelated works with the same/very similar title, and versions for overlapping works. I doubt we have an appropriate page type & template for messy situations like these.

One way to try to bring order to this lovely mess is to match the Wikisource pages up to Wikipedia, using Wikidata to add more detail and structure and clearly defined linkages between our pages. Currently, our Barrack-Room Ballads is coupled to w:Barrack-Room Ballads via d:Q4863158. On Wikidata it is an instance of a "book", but the Wikipedia article is not about a book. The Wikipedia article is about a rather fluid collection of related poems, and in true Wikipedia fashion jumps all over the place. Most of the links to w:Barrack-Room Ballads are about the 1892 publication. The Encyclopedia Brittanica entry appears to be more firmly focused on the 1892 publication.

For that page, IMO versions is more appropriate, but only slightly. There are multiple versions of the collection that is "Barrack-Room Ballads". However "Barrack-Room Ballads" is also a series, with different subsets of it appearing in distinct works.

Stepping back, ideally we could build a web of these works in Wikidata, and then on each of these pages we could have an interactive diagram showing the title term as the focus, and the user can see how it relates to, and navigate to, the item they desire. Sort of like http://wiki.polyfra.me/ , which doesnt do very well when zoomed into "Barrack-Room Ballads", but using Wikidata which can have a lot more related items about each version.
