Who am I?
As there are two scribd with exactly the same text, and I discovered that there is a scribd book called 'who am I', which means it is either a copyvio or a coi. Either way, it needs pov and or cleanup, so does not belong to Wikibooks. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 12:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A better link would be to the page itself: http://www.scribd.com/doc/8143836/Who-Am-I. It does say that it's for free distribution in the Scribd version. -- Adrignola talk contribs 13:12, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Either way it still needs POV and OR cleanup. ;-) Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 00:10, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I feel it fails to fall under our scope. There are no references give, or that I know of, and this seems indistinguishable from original research to me. But, since it appears to have been published elsewhere, and appears to have a free license, it would fall under Wikisource. If we can verify it was published in some form elsewhere we should transwiki it. Thenub314 (talk) 07:07, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I did a little further investigating. A transwiki doesn't make sense, as this book used to be at Wikisource. It then got deleted over copyright concerns, but still occurs as a redlink at s:Author:Shriram_Sharma_Acharya.  Basically this is a previously published work which is not annotated.  Per our policy on annotated texts, "..we do not permit verbatim copies of pre-existing works..." So this book doesn't fall under our scope.  If someone is looking for it, and it really is freely available, they can request an undeletion at wikisource.

- I have to say that the phrase "copyright concerns" rather caught my eye. If it's possible copyvio at Wikisource, should we not also be concerned about it being possible copyvio here? Chazz (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
