[edit] Early discussion
Is it legal to digitalize the image of a bill? -- Taku 23:59 May 1, 2003 (UTC)
For U.S. Law, here's some information from the US secret service. http://www.treas.gov/usss/money_illustrations.shtml I guess I don't understand how they define 'illustration'. On this website, they claim that an illustration of american money is permissible IF it's scaled too small or too large by some amount, and if all digitized or non-digitzed media for making the 'illustration' is destroyed after. Anyway, this is just U.S. law for U.S. money, and has little relevance to a Japanese bill on the internet. I guess there must be some sort of international law dealing with this, eh? -- Wilgamesh 20:42, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Is it appropriate to have a wiki link for London Tower (name of a novel, bottom of Soseki article) linking to the wiki article about the real London Tower?? seems kind of misleading. -- Wilgamesh 20:42, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't Mr. Natsume be referred to by his last name? I believe the people who call him Soseki are confused about his naming order. WhisperToMe 20:39, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
- No. Most Japanese authors are referred to by their family name, but Natsume Soseki is usually referred to as "Soseki", both in English-speaking and Japanese-speaking circles.
- The general pattern for articles on people who used pen-names (Dr. Seuss, George Orwell, etc.) seems to be to use their given name in the article until they adopt their pen name. I've edited the article to reflect this convention. CES 14:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cause of Death?
Is there any information available on Natsume Soseki's death? He was only 49, seems a bit young, even for the early 20th century. The Japanese page mentions a "stomach ulcer." --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 21:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- He began writing one novel a year until his death from a stomach ulcer in 1916. There is a little more detail on the Japanese page, but the basics of his death are already in this article. Feel free to expand, of course. CES 00:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of 1000-yen note
While it's nice to have Natsume Soseki's picture from the 1000-yen note on this page, I don't think it qualifies as fair use. The image is shown with a "public domain" tag, but I think that's in error (see my comment on the image's discussion page) and the tag on the 10000-yen note states that for copyrighted currency, "their use on Wikipedia is contended to be fair use when they are used for the purposes of commentary or criticism relating to the image of the currency itself. Any other usage of them, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement." The use of the picture here is informative, but it's not fair use under the policy's current interpretation, so I'm removing the photo from this page. Dekimasu 07:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
