I didn't know that :(. The book that I read it from wasn't published before 1925. Let me see if I can find another version that is in the PD and rerecord.
If you find a PD edition, you can first check if the text matches your recording. If it does, there's no need to rerecord.
I have a question regarding this. If I were to select some poems or stories at random by one author or a few different authors, that is, they are all from different sources, will it be possible to record them? For example, if I want to record a few stories by O. Henry and Saki (solo), so if I pick a few stories from different sources, will I be able to record them? Or even "Kabir ke Dohe", if I find them from different sources that are in the PD, can I record them? Or do they have to come from the same source that I need to link in the forum?
If the selections are random, we have several collaborative collections for different kinds of poetry and prose. The English ones can be found in the forum Readers Wanted: Short Works (Poetry & Prose):

viewforum.php?f=19

There are also a few collection for other languages in this forum, including this multilingual collection, of course. :)

If the selections have a certain unifying theme, you can do a solo collection project. When you open the Project Template Generator to start a project, you'll want to answer "yes" to the question Is this a compilation with multiple authors and sources?. We recommend getting PL OK on a couple of contributions to collaborative projects before embarking on a solo. Our projects are somewhat similar to books, so in deciding whether several recordings belong together in one project, I would ask myself questions like "what would be its title" and "what would I write for its blurb"?
Do I still need to do the 1-minute test? I will increase the decibels when I record next. :)
As long as your recording setup doesn't change, you don't need to do another 1-minute test. Also, if you wish, you can check all our technical specs in your mp3 yourself using the Checker program:

Great, thanks! A long recording for a large forest (and beast). :)

It would be fantastic to add a reading of Kabir in the original to our catalog! Unfortunately, in order to ensure that the recording is in the public domain in the US, where our servers are located, we need to verify not only the original publication date of the work, but also the publication date of the edition you read from. We can read from a scan where the title page shows a publication year of 1925 or earlier (Archive.org is a good place to look for these), or a text from Gutenberg.org, or a text that is available in Full View at HathiTrust.org.
Hello :D,

I found these two sources on the archive :
https://archive.org/details/HindiBook-kabir-ke-dohe/mode/2up
Part 79 Doha ||3|| corresponds to my Doha 3 in the recording
Part 83 Doha ||6|| corresponds to my Doha 2 in the recording
Part 84 Doha ||9|| corresponds to my Doha 6 in the recording

https://archive.org/details/KabirSahibKaSaakhiSangrah-Hindi/mode/2up
Page 52 Doha ||8|| corresponds to my Doha 1 in the recording
Page 59 Doha ||1|| corresponds to my Doha 5 in the recording

I am not sure if this works ^^". Please let me know if this works.
I haven't found 4th doha from my recording yet.
Some versions are a little different, I'll rerecord and add a few more dohe as well.

Thanks,
Aditi :)

This one doesn't have a title page to check the publication date. Also, it has a CC licence, which means it's not PD.
https://archive.org/details/KabirSahibKaSaakhiSangrah-Hindi/mode/2up
Page 52 Doha ||8|| corresponds to my Doha 1 in the recording
Page 59 Doha ||1|| corresponds to my Doha 5 in the recording
I'm not good with Devanagari numbers, but does the title page say it was published in 1926 (with a Nepali "9")? If so, then it becomes PD in the US in a few months, when we get to 2022. Great find, but not yet. :?

Title: Z puszczy Białowieskiej

a wonderful contribution, Piotr. :thumbs: I remember seeing the billboards on the highway through Poland for this national park with the bisons, but we didn't visit on that trip as our destination for that holiday was Minsk. Maybe a reason to travel back there one day (if ever we are allowed again to travel in freedom...).

Absolutely PL ok, thanks

Thank you so much, Sanved! I'm happy that we have found a qualified proof-listener for this recording. :9:

Dipti, I have just a couple of PL notes regarding minor technical issues:

1) (0:00-0:05) In the intro we don't use the words "title" and "author". It should be just: "Sopya va Manoranjak Goshti by Vishṇu Vāsudeva Nāṭekara".

2) (0:17-0:19) Since you're saying "read by" at the end, you don't need to say it here. You can delete this bit.

3) (27:00-27:09) Same issue in the outro. It should be: "End of Sopya va Manoranjak Goshti by Vishṇu Vāsudeva Nāṭekara, read by Dipti [your last name]" (we say just "read by" without "to you")

4) Finally, there should be 5 seconds of silence at the end (currently there's only one)

Let me know if you need information about how to make these edits in your recording. Please don't re-record the whole thing from scratch (this may seem obvious, but some new contributors do that, so saying it just in case). :)

In the future, you're welcome to say the intro and outro in Marathi. If you share your Marathi translation of our standard intro/outro text, we can include it on the wiki page which lists its various translations.

Thanks!

thank you Hannah, for the lovely reading. This was an interesting concept for a poem, to start with the musical notes each time. I was expecting you to start singing any time :lol: You read it very emotionally, almost like a lullaby. Very nice.

I found two small deviations from the text, but I let you decide whether you want to change them:

> at 4:21: (p. 47) "Тебе витаючы" – you have the wrong order of words here, it doesn't change the meaning, so this is optional. I just wanted to let you know, in case you want to be word perfect. Often in poetry the words are more important than in prose, especially in such a "melodic" poem, where the rhythm is important

> at 4:50: (p. 48) "Було-бъ жыття" – same here, the words are in the opposite order

thanks

Thank you Sonia for a kind feedback)

I am a bad singer :D but felt the author implied singing at some points, because the title of a book is На крилах пiсень - On the wings of songs) The poem Мi is a lullaby - колискова in Ukrainian, so you got the right vibes)

Let's leave those two imperfections as they are.

Did you feel that pauses between poems were too short?

Thank you

no to me it was ok. They always have clear subtitles, so the listener knows when something new starts. Leaving more silence would drag it out too much.

It's PL ok then :)

Está bien si escribo en inglés? Puedo escribir en español, si lo prefieres, pero lamentablemente no en catalán.

It's great to see a contribution in Catalan! Our proof-listener, Sonia, will check your recording.

Luckily, we can use this Wikisource text, since it includes scan images, where we can check the publication date on the title page and verify its public domain status. :thumbs: For other Wikisource texts, please check that scan images are available, or just ask us, so we can help verify its PD status.

Since this is the first time you're assigned a section, let me know under what name (real or nickname) you would like to be credited in the catalog. We can also include a link to your personal website or blog, if you have one.

Finally, there's a small problem at the end of the filename. It should be:

msw029_soquisoquenosoio_timoneda_rfg_128kb.mp3

If you need to upload the file again for another reason, please make that correction. Otherwise, we'll fix it during cataloging.

Michael
