replies: text: You can't be serious? Copy rights do not apply in this case, these are statements made into the public record by various government officials performing their duties as heads of state. --Cloveious 04:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: If the translations were performed by a NASA (or other US government) employee they will be PD. Overall, I think all the messages are not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. As Victuallers said this is why we have Wikisource. Evil Monkey - Hello 19:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi all,
Someone knows how was built the list of the « Nations Represented by Goodwill Messages on Apollo 11 Disc » ?
Every nation on the earth was contacted ?
Absent nations: Perhaps obvious... USSR; but France ? De Gaulle didn't agree to let a message ?
Thanks in advance. Alvar☮ ☎ 16:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As I recall it reading it from somewhere, requests were sent out to every country in the world...or at least every country that the US had diplomatic relations with. Just that not everybody got back in good time and some responses got back simply too late. Don't know, perhaps France was one of those countries that didn't get their goodwill message together in time. --Termer (talk) 03:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Termer. Someone gave me the same answer on fr: but he thinks that the US authorities made their requests very late ! A time problem, finally ;D Alvar☮ ☎ 15:30, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I found a source naming the seven countries whose messages were received too late: "Seven more countries sent in goodwill letters to NASA but they arrived too late to be included on the silicon disc. They came from Gabon, in Africa; from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), in Asia; from Finland, West Germany, Poland, and Sweden in Europe; and from Bolivia, in South America." France is not among that but maybe this might be worth adding to the article? Source: Hansen, James R., "Dear Neil Armstrong: Letters to the First Man from All Mankind" (2019).

message: The bulk of this article was directly copying the content of the disc, including quotes from former US presidents and many other world leaders.  While some works by the US federal government are exempt under US copyright law, this would not be the case for quotes from foreign leaders, for example.  The en masse copying of full quotations may be too much to qualify for fair use.  I would welcome comments from Wikimedia Foundation's legal team on licensing issues.  In the meantime, I have .  —sroc 💬 17:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Apparent copyright violations 

message: Seewoosagur Ramgoolam is listed as a signatory for Malawi.  But he was Prime Minister of Mauritius.  I've tried editing this and it says "Mauritius" in the coding.  But as published, it displays Malawi.  Are others seeing this too or is it a glitch with my system?  PedanticallySpeaking (talk) 16:43, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
