[edit] Text licensed under GFDL, confirmed

Copied from User:Evertype#Rejang script:

Hi, I was working on Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations and encountered the Rejang script article. It seems to be a direct copy & paste from [1] which you also used as a source in the article. Normally (with new editors) I would put a {{copyvio}} tag but since you're not a new editor I thought it's better to check it with you if the material is licensed under a free license or public domain.

I think, by contributing, Michael Everson (User:Evertype) is licensing the text from N3096 (he being its author) under GFDL. So: not copyvio. – Kaihsu 15:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your message on my talk, I am glad it's not a copyvio. For the next time, would it be possible for you to make a note on the original website/document that re-use is permitted under the GFDL and state at the talk page where to find that note? Just in case some other editor working on copyvio's tags your articles. Garion96 (talk) 18:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

It can't possibly be a copyright violation as I wrote the original document from which the text was copied and pasted. Evertype 14:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rejang script, not "Kaganga"

I object VERY strongly to your moving of this article from its commonly-known English name to "Kaganga" which is just a word for alphabet. Please do not do this. I also object to what you have been doing to other scripts, and I will revert them and take this up with the wider community if necessary. Thank you. -- Evertype· 18:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names?

According to this, the Rejang script has many other names, such as Ka Ga Nga, Toba, Karo, Mandailing, Kerinci, Minangkabau, Lampung, Surat Ulu, Musi Banyuasin, Ogan, Bengkulu, but the most popular name is Rencong. But I don't know if it's reliable.Vizio 19:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
