* If you translate, revise, or modify someone else's work, you should change the Creator's title to your own name. Here is a real world scenario why this is important. If I search for "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe, I want to get back the original work by Edgar Allan Poe that all my friends have read. I should not read to the end of "The Black Cat" to find there is a new ending added by SJ Klein. However, my desire to read Edgar Allan Poe's original work, should not constrict SJ's, or anyone else's, freedom to create a new version. When SJ changes "The Black Cat" he should also change the CREATOR field and make sure the [[Bundle_metadata#acknowledgments_-_required|acknowledgements]] file references Edgar's original work

  • If you translate, revise, or modify someone else's work, you should change the Creator's title to your own name. Here is a real world scenario why this is important. If I search for "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe, I want to get back the original work by Edgar Allan Poe that all my friends have read. I should not read to the end of "The Black Cat" to find there is a new ending added by SJ Klein. However, my desire to read Edgar Allan Poe's original work, should not constrict SJ's, or anyone else's, freedom to create a new version. When SJ changes "The Black Cat" he should also change the CREATOR field and make sure the acknowledgements file references Edgar's original work
