Title
[edit]At gilead.org.il F. P. Walter explains carefully why the English title of this work should be Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (note Seas, not Sea). Since this is Walter's translation, maybe the pages should be renamed to respect his wishes?

[edit]The note above says "donated to Gutenberg". https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2488/pg2488-images.html states copyright 1999 but does not make clear the terms under which Gutenberg published it. Their general terms state "Unless there is an included license with the copyrighted item (such as a creative commons license), you will need to contact the copyright holder for any needed permission. Project Gutenberg cannot do this on your behalf, and does not have any ability to sublicense copyrighted works."
The wikipedia article states "In 1993, Miller collaborated with his fellow Vernian Frederick Paul Walter to produce "The Completely Restored and Annotated Edition", published in 1993 by the Naval Institute Press. Its text took advantage of Walter's unpublished translation, which Project Gutenberg later made available online." -- Beardo (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
