Talk:Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman

The song's lyrics in chinese was composed in 1950s at the latest. Probably the english verion was composed at the same time. Are you sure the copyright of the english version is owned by the webmaster of http://www.wellesley.edu/Polisci/wj/China/CRSongs/sailingtheseas.html ?

No, it is very unlikely it is owned by him/her. However, if the song was composed in the fifties, then I believe that they would still be under copyright- please see the list of countries' copyright length. J Milburn (talk) 14:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

For notability, perhaps you can confirm it with some Chinese mainlanders you know. So called "reliable sources" are available but those I come across are written in Chinese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelvinyiu (talk • contribs) 14:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

They're fine to cite. And no, me asking Chinese people will count for nothing. Please read our notability guidelines, and perhaps our notability guidelines for songs. J Milburn (talk) 17:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I see you have cited a couple. J Milburn (talk) 17:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
