Ciao ! I've read your message on the Negri entry. You could in fact easily introduce that to Wikisource, help:adding texts but you just have to create a Wikisource account (see here intro. If that seems to much bother to you, what you can do is simply create a Wikipedia article for that text, and wait that a more experimented contributor just transfer all to Wikisource (this nice person will leave a template like that on the original Wikipedia page). Thanks for your contributions, cheers! Tazmaniacs 19:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I'll add that, especially if you contribute to some controversial subjects, you should absolutely follow the WP:Attribution guideline. In particular, the use of WP:Footnotes makes it very easy for everyone to know what is the source for each possibly controversial comment, and will insure that your text doesn't get deleted by someone who just doesn't like what you're saying... Let me know if you need any further help, ciao ragazzo ! Tazmaniacs 19:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thanks for your help. There may be questions regarding the validity of the text in question as a source. The problem, of course, is that the subject is one with scant published data. In this case it's a document produced specifically with defence POV in mind, in reference to a legal or legally entangled issue. Nonetheless, virtually anything, publsihed by a collective, as the doc in question is, or published commercially, will present a view more or less biased, and, as I suggested, there is a distinct lack of material on the subject. It only presents one side of the argument, but that still deserves to be aired. Perhaps you could take a look at it some time and see if it is suitable for Wikisource - if not, it's always possible I might find some other way of getting it online sometime in the future.

By the way, do you know what happened to Negri's picture on that page? I noticed that someone put up a request tag for a photo, despite the fact that the article had one, and then the photo disappeared afterwards! What is going on? There is no comment suggesting any copyright violation or anything - any ideas?

PS: Do you know how to tag ISBNs so they jump to the ISBN search page - someone has done it on the page on Autonomism but I can't see any special code at all.

Ciao, and thanks again for your response. LSmok3 01:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
