:Hello Nve.

:First off, the manuals which have been already uploaded on the RayWiki come from the disc files of their games.

:To upload a manual from disc files or scanned by yourself, you can use the "Upload file" option, since it supports the PDF files.

:For the DPI, there is no particular rule, as long as the manual is readable.

== L'Histoire de Rayman - Rayman 2 info ==

Good morning (think other time of the day if applicable) Boomboleros!

Let me introduce myself. I'm an editor over at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VG English Wikipedia's Video Games Project], working on and off around underdeveloped/underpolished articles about retro games. My topic of interest has long been the ''Rayman'' series, especially the second game, whose Wikipedia entry is sadly wanting in its coverage of the game's development and reception. For quite a while I've been hearing a rumor that there are vast swathes of unique developer's commentary about each of the ''Rayman'' games in the Pix n' Love-edited book ''L'Histoire de Rayman'' by Michel Guarné, which seems to be in your possession per the comments over at your user page. I've been seeking material from that book online for several years now to no avail, yet the book is of a vast academic interest to me and so I wonder whether you would consider sharing scans from the book pertaining to ''Rayman 2'' to help in improving the game's Wikipedia coverage. If it is not too much to ask, I'd be really grateful if you also would be willing to look into providing access to the making-of section from the [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel]] guide, as the wiki also points to you as that book's owner. Only asking if these are within your convenience. Looking forward to hearing from you, and many thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

:Hello Revanchist.

:It will be my pleasure to help a fan of retro games and Rayman.

:However, a few years ago, the Pirate-Community had the chance to welcome the writer of ''L'Histoire de Rayman'' himself. We talk a lot about sharing his work on the Internet. His views about scans weren't different from other writers. We respect his choice (and the laws) since we met him, by sharing information from the book on the forum and the wiki only by the ways he approved.

:So I'm afraid providing scans will not be possible. However, we may find another way to help, and for this, I invite you to read your private messages on the Pirate-Community forum.

:I took the liberty to remove your mail address, which shouldn't be shared on a public web page like this one.

:Sincerely, --[[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 20:10, 25 August 2021 (CEST)

::Thanks for your quick reply! I've read your message in my forum inbox, it is a very generous gesture and I'd be grateful to be able to count on your participation. It goes without saying that you are justly within your rights to attend to this matter at your own pace. The only thing that I can humbly add to my inquiry is asking you to consider sharing info about the bibliographic data regarding those information sources (specifically, the page range where the material is located in the guide and ''L'Histoire de Rayman'' and info about the ''Rayman 2'' guide's publisher). Hope that this aligns with the matter of respecting the authors' wishes. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

:::Hi Boomboleros7! Just dropping by to ask whether you've decided to proceed with the solution to my request that you've suggested in your forum message. Looking forward to hearing from you.

::::Hi again Revanchist.

::::I started working on what I said in the private message, that is a translation of ''Rayman 2'' chapter in ''L'Histoire de Rayman'' and the making of in the French guide, but then, I remembered something about translation exercice, and it's a good thing I remember it.

::::Unfortunately, a translation of these pages will be impossible. This exercice is also illegal, as we have been informed by the author and his editor.
