Rights & sources
Every text has a trail.
A poem appears here only after its work identity, copy-text witness, transcription status and Australian rights determination have been recorded and cleared.
Publication rule
Publication is deny-by-default. Missing or unknown information never means approved. Draft, held, protected, unresolved-rights and culturally blocked records do not emit public poem pages.
Text method
The approved copy-text is transcribed diplomatically under decision D-208. Lineation, stanza divisions, punctuation and meaningful spacing are preserved; substantive changes are never made silently.
Corrections and rights concerns
Corrections must be made in the canonical record and regenerated through the same controlled process. Historical evidence and replaced decisions remain auditable. Rights and cultural-sensitivity concerns can be sent to rights@whilethebillyboils.com.au.
