The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents
[edit]You mention that your work was in 2016. Was it published anywhere then ?
You show Reuben Thwaites as translator, but it seems to me that he was editor. -- Beardo (talk) 14:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I published it on Amazon in 2016. And you're right, he was the editor but I didn't see that as an option in the pregenerated header template. Is "editor" a valid option? Jswap (talk) 15:38, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- There is written that it was translated to modern English in 2016, so I am afraid that the translation is still copyrighted. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:29, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, it was me who did the translation. I am relinquishing the copyright. Jswap (talk) 16:32, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, editor is a permitted option. -- Beardo (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that a user nominated your texts for deletion. I am opposed to this, and I wanted to let you know about it so you could participate in the discussion.
My thanks to you for releasing the copyright on your translation. FPTI (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know. I just left a quick comment on the discussion. I'm not going to fight too hard for this as I am certainly biased when it comes to my own work, but I do appreciate you supporting its inclusion. 50.49.30.72 08:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
