Nominations Queries: #1

[morbane]

Thank you for your nominations! Please help us sort them - we have some questions about nominations we've received so far.

QUERIES POST ONE

Alice In Wonderland - Lewis Carroll - the Jubjub Bird is nominated under its canonical, Jubjub (Hunting of the Snark). We will approve this as Jubjub (Alice in Wonderland) since the Jubjub is mentioned in Jabberwocky. Nominator, if you'd like a creator to refer to the Hunting of the Snark, you can suggest it to them as an optional extra, but please don't offer or request it unless you're also okay with sticking to Alice in Wonderland material.

Ancient Greek Religion & Lore - this is a broad label, currently including Chiron, Charicio, the Phoenix, and the Sphinx. Are these all found in a single text? Could you specify what source(s) you're interested in, please?

Japanese Archipelago Folk Religion & Lore - this is a broad label, currently including Bake-danuki, Bakeneko, Kitsune, and Tomoe Gozen. Are these all found in a single text? Could you specify what source you're interested in, please?

The Queen - Anna Wahlenberg - apologies; we may have rejected this by accident, but we can't find a public domain source for it. Are you able to help us find a source please?

The Selkie Bride (Folk Tale) - Since there's a wide variety of characters nominated for this tale, could you please confirm what version you're interested in? Our most recent source is a Scottish version: https://tracscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/The-Selkie-Bride.pdf which does not include a farmer or other selkies. (We've also previously approved an Icelandic version. What did you have in mind?

not nominator, but if the original title of the Wahlenberg story is "Drottningen", I think I found it? it is in Swedish, which I suspect means this doesn't help, but it's a scanned copy from 1903

hi! i'm the nominator for the selkie story. i can't actually find the one that i was thinking of/found last year, but that scottish one/the first link, is pretty close and i'm fine with that being the one used!

Hi, I'm the one who nominated The Queen by Anna Wahlenberg, and it looks like it has been rejected. I can't find any public domain versions of it either, but I own the book and can easily upload clear pics of the story using my phone. Is there a preferred way for me to do that?
