Reliable sources noticeboard
The subject of this article is being discussed at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. —Michael Z. 04:34, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Khmm ... . Author of 2nd ref is notorious Douglas Tottle. Author of 1st book is Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe. I am not an expert, but he definitely stirred a controversy, based on description on our page. My very best wishes (talk) 00:31, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, this is fixed. However, only first of two refs tells something about the subject of this page (new 2nd ref is irrelevant and not needed). More important, what exactly 1st ref. (the book by Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe) tells about the Encyclopedia of Ukraine? That it is an unreliable source with such and such incorrect info because...? If so, this needs to be included to the page. Or there is nothing of that sort in the reference? My very best wishes (talk) 04:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Still not happy? Here you go. So let readers click on the link to find out more. Okay now?- GizzyCatBella  🍁  05:17, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think criticism of Volodymyr Kubiyovych is relevant here (but it does have a place in his own biography). In this article, we should discuss what reliable sources say about the Encylopedia itself. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Clarification needed
Can someone clarify this "a general part (1949–1952) that includes three volumes and a dictionary part (1955–1989) that includes 10 volumes.". Is this an encyclopedoa of history from 1949 to 1989? This is very unclear. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:25, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Copyright status Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine
I recently emailed the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) for clarification of the copyright status of materials in the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine (IEU). Yesterday, the director answered my email stating inter alia:

The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS), University of Alberta, -- the creator of the IEU project, -- owns the copyright to all materials published on the IEU site. However, we are very much interested in sharing our materials and expertise with any serious publication on Ukraine. You are free to use and quote materials from the IEU as long as you provide some sort of reference to the original source, the IEU website. Ideally, a link to the original article could be placed on the relevant page. If, for some reason, that would be impossible, a written reference to the IEU (including our address: www.encyclopediaofukraine.com) should be listed among the sources. (...)

Director, CIUS Press and Scholarly Publications. Responsible for: CIUS Press (www.ciuspress.com), Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine (www.encyclopediaofukraine.com), East/West Journal of Ukrainian Studies (www.ewjus.com)

While helpful, this email doesn't yet say exactly what the legal situation is. The need to provide some sort of reference to the original source, the IEU website eliminates public domain and CC0, because it must have "BY", but not yet whether it is a commercial or non-commercial licence, whether it is ShareAlike etc. I have asked further clarification on the copyright licensing for images such as maps on Commons. In any case, it is positive that they regard Wikipedia as a serious publication which they are very interested in cooperating with. Any materials in Commons:Category:Encyclopedias of Ukraine which have been taken from or inspired by the IEU could thus be provided with the proper copyright information (or deleted if they do not have the CIUS' permission), and it could make it easier to decide which materials to upload in the future. When I know more, I will share the information here. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:46, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
