Talk:Meyers Blitz-Lexikon

Created Page
I have no idea what this book is (it may be related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Konversations-Lexikon), but English Wikipedia seems to be using some of its content in a number of places (mostly images http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Meyers_Blitz-Lexikon), so I think it merits some description in English (origin/authors, associations, etc.) Wikimedia Commons seems to have hundreds of pages of its content scanned with reasonable quality, so it will probably continue to be used.

I wrote a little one-sentence stub to get started, but it should probably be deleted and restarted entirely by someone who knows the facts better than I do.

The Google Translate looks like a pretty good start, but generates some nonsense: http://translate.google.com/translate?&u=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMeyers_Blitz-Lexikon&sl=de&tl=en

removed "public domain" claim
After seeing the bot notice above, I tried to follow the image link, and it no longer seems to be in wikimedia commons. (?) But a wayback archive image here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120203080335/http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LA2-Blitz-0040.jpg seems to be saying it is/was not actually in the public domain. I'm not very clear on what the status is or why its content was being used around WP previously but to avoid any contradictions I removed the statement about 'public domain' from the article unless/until someone can clarify that further.
