I wondered why my copy of The Man in the High Castle had what appeared to be braile indentations on the cover. Perhaps the addition you made to the PKD article explains that one, thanks. Alastairward ( talk) 13:10, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I replied to your question at WP:EAR; a bit belated, as I forget I'd posted there. Short version: looks to me like you did everything fine. Cheers. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 23:14, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

...Alas.
That last edit to the main PKD page reminded me of when I read that book, ages ago. My daughter wasn't even one, I was in a half decent place to live and my sister hadn't moved across the water to Liverpool yet, happy days.
Your restoration of the popular culture section didn't lose anything, but I noticed that the link in that section to Victoria Stewart's profile page (she wrote 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick) is now dead so I replaced it with one from the Way Back machine. Alastairward ( talk) 22:52, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I am hoping that you can be of assistance to my endeavour.
It has recently surprised me to learn that there are somewhere around fifty Philip K. Dick stories in the public domain. Wow. If this is indeed the case, I have to wonder why Proj. Gutenberg has only but a fifth of that amount published in its online archive. [Gutenberg.org/browse/authors/d#a33399]
I was examining your research in regard to the copyright status of the 1954 shorts “Adjustment Team” (first published in Orbit Sci-Fi #4) and “Last of the Masters” (first published in Orbit Sci-Fi #5) which is presented in those stories’ respective Wikipedia articles; the information would seem to be thorough and altogether in order (however I’m no expert). Now although it may be claimed and technically substantiated that such Dick works are in the public domain, are they nevertheless truly so? Can it be realistically stated that such PKD stories are as much public domain as, say, the plays of William Shakespeare?
The reason for my interest is that I would like to introduce certain P.K. Dick stories presumably residing in the public domain into another area of media. And I’m wondering whether I would encounter a problem with the PKD Trust if I actually did so. I e-mailed Dick’s Estate via the contact form on their authorized website and requested their official stance concerning the area of copyright status as detailed in the Wikipedia article for “The Last of the Masters”. I’ve yet to receive a response. I have to believe, on general principle, that the PKD Trust would likely challenge the information put forward in the various Wikipedia articles which collectively comment that numerous Dick literary works exist in a copyright-free condition.
Anyhow.. I know that you're probably not an attorney or the like, still can you advise me? ~ GreyZarak 19 Sept 2010
[ Project GutenbergProject Gutenberg is intentionally decentralized. For example, there is no selection policy dictating what texts to add. Instead, individual volunteers work on what they are interested in, or have available. The Project Gutenberg collection is intended to preserve items for the long term, so they cannot be lost by any one localized accident. In an effort to ensure this, the entire collection is backed-up regularly and mirrored on servers in many different locations.
