ADDITIONAL COPYRIGHTS TO CHECK


 * Roog - A preliminary check by title and by author (for 1980) indicate this is public domain because of nonrenewal. Do a thorough search. Maybe overlooked because it was a pre-agency sale.


 * Chain of title defects/negligence/fraud? re Adjustment Team and The Adjustment Bureau. Add something about this?

This link to search the United States Copyright Catalog Online may be more direct and not cause a timeout immediately. It seems to have taken me directly to search page though a different and longer URL shows in address bar. I opened link in new tab, did nothing with the page for 8 minutes and it worked. Apparently the timeouts don't start with arrival at page but with beginning first search. Clicking on Registration Number then looking it up offline was enough to cause a time out and at another search page a timeout occurred without doing anything. Both were after a longer time than 8 minutes and may indicate more time at page is available before the timeouts occur if the catatlog is not very busy. This may not be a good alternative to the link I've used before which doesn't trigger timeouts and displays links to many other Copyright Office pages people may wish to know of and refer to before or when searching. Maybe I should ask for some feedback about link choice at a talk page.

Story summarization tips from Cast

 * The key to writing story summaries is to keep all fictional elements of a story in the present tense. "The main character goes into a tunnel. There, the character finds a key. Then the cavern caves in." The reason is that the switch in the tense will present to the reader what is real and what is not. For more information see Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Pay specific attention to the sections on plot summaries. Here are main pages for information on that: Manual of Style (writing about fiction), How to write a plot summary. Also, look at the Manual of Style (writing about fiction). These articles on fictional stories, characters, and fictional elements, are the great examples of how to write up good articles on Philp K. Dick stories. And of course, compare what you learn from these policy pages and featured examples to my work on "The Last of the Masters". What I did for that article can be applied to any of P.K. Dick's short story and novel articles. --Cast (talk) 22:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Registration Number RE0000190631 and particular incorrect story title would be better
This URL is to an article with guidance for researching copyright renewal information.

Interesting to note the space at beginning of first line causes it to appear in a box. Look up why and what the significance of this is.
