Proofreading-Editing-Layout

This is all work that has been indexed in WS and requires editing, these are marked because I have started work on them or want to:

Technical-Admin-Projectspace-etc

This is a general to-do list for things I need to do that don't directly relate to a particular work or involve solving a problem with a work that goes beyond the normal proofreading and layout issues:

Request automatic approval for Interwiki-Bot on ko, vi, etc
Ideas for and discussion of where to put all the data about a text: User:Inductiveload/metadata
Identification of authors with links to non-existent wikipedia or wikiquote pages and removal of the links, see this discussion for related material - User talk:Ineuw#links to wikipedia.2C PSM authors - although I came across this long after running scripts to identify these.
Removal of {{TextQuality}} from all pages where there is an index invoked.
Investigate the loss of the final page number where there's a <div> wrapper.
- Eg. of both of the previous issues: Cakes, Cookies and Confections
  - oddly in this special case <pages index="Cakes, cookies and confections.djvu" from=5 to=8 /> works
  
  -Compare also this work Shaving_Made_Easy, a combination of the page transclusion methods was used.
Help Spangineer with Index:Two Treatises of Government.djvu
Full implementation of the text switching and link hiding functions of User:Inductiveload/Visibility.js
Evaluate {{sup}} - it appears to use deprecated code and is used in some unusual ways
Help transcribe Index:1888 Cicero's Tusculan Disputations.djvu
Clean up some of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and find scans for them all.
Plus up Author:Hermann Hesse and set up some of his works
Merge {{Versions}} with {{Translations}}
Develop a header template for serials
- Consider this Wikisource:Periodicals
- This Wikisource:WikiProject_Newspapers/New York Times
- And this Wikisource:WikiProject Popular Science Monthly/Popular Science
Look for ways to incorporate these into here and other projects: w:Wikipedia:Database_reports
Make my common.js look nice and organized, sort of like this
Category:Templates that can be substituted - anytime
Done~~Complete the deprecation of:~~
- ~~{{Wikisourcelang}}~~
- ~~{{Wikisource author}}~~
Done~~Figure out why these are on ws, they are copies of templates on wp that have moved and are subject to change over there~~
- ~~{{Wikisource1911Enc}} - And this one's not even very good~~
- ~~{{Wikisource1911Enc Citation}}~~
Figure out why {{DropBox|Table of Contents|float=left|width=33%|__TOC__|hidden=hidden}} displays way down the page

Scans to locate for works we have

Beowulf
The Canterbury Tales
The Pearl (and related works)
Fanny Hill (text here as well)
Ecclesiastical history (Socrates)
The Garden of Proserpine (there's a reference to pdf in the failed FTC discussion) this one may be better

Texts I have Uploaded (or had others upload for me) to Commons for use at enWS

Some of these are duplicates of above, others have not been indexed, links are to Commons:

Three Books of Occult Philosophy (London 1651)
- a translation from Latin by John French of the seminal occult work of the Renaissance by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.

Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy (London 1655)
- a translation from Latin by Robert Turner of a collection of six books, two of which were ascribed to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (London 1774)
- the original edition was published in 1747 and I'm still looking for a scan.

The Husbandman and Housewife: A collection of valuable recipes and directions, relating to Agriculture and Domestic Economy (Bellows Falls (Vt.) 1820)

Shaving Made Easy: What the Man Who Shaves Ought to Know (New York 1905)

A New Light of Alchymie (London 1650)
- a translation from Latin by John French of a transitional work of Alchemy/Chemistry by Michał Sędziwój.

File:Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls.djvu (New York 1957) (copyright not renewed)

Work on getting specific texts

I'm working with Inductiveload to seek out and upload large numbers of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance texts, some of which are listed here:

User:Inductiveload/textids

Sources and Resources

Free e-book scans

British Library not sure if these are actually full text scans - need further investigation

Univ of Virginia Latin texts and English Translations of Ovid (annotations and commentaries too)
The Chymistrie of Isaac Newton Project Lots of references and scans, the copyright status of the manuscripts is somewhat unclear, I believe they are PD, but it's a more complicated analysis than one would think due to the publication date (apparently post 2002 - the significant date in the US) and complexity of determining which law controls, US or UK.
Alexandria (Va.) Library - digitized books
Forgotten Books These are folio editions of PD books; most have already been googled and may also be at Internet Archive.
Cornell Library/Worldcat
HathiTrust Digital Libary

example of a work at the Walters need to figure out how these works are indexed.
Göttinger Digitalisierungszentrum (GDZ) - not quite sure what's available here and how to get it yet.

Needs a bot to effectively scrape but no membership or passwords to access scans:

Gallica Digital Library - bot for jpgs but also has PDFs
Library of Congress Digital Collections - bot for jpgs or tiffs (extreme quality), but also has pdfs
UPenn Libraries e-Resources (UPenn Libraries itself is not open)
- http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/ljs/searchForm.cfm - you have to use the menus to identify works.
- http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/sceti/furness/index.cfm?nav=furness
- http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/sceti/smith/index.cfm

- http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/sceti/printedbooksNew/index.cfm?TextID=hamlet_1676
- http://dla.library.upenn.edu/cocoon/dla/schoenberg/index.html - no files that I can see, just info
ams historica (example work) - info is italian, need to be able to scrape jpgs here, there's apparently a way to get a djvu too but it requires a special plugin
Univ of Alabama (example work) - need to be able to scrape jpgs here, lots of metadata and a copyfraud claim too.

Texts

Bibliographies and link lists

These can be useful for locating texts or at least locating information on texts to identify targets to search via Google.

Gastronomy rare book list (no files here)
Kansas State (only excerpts and samples available here)
Esoteric Archives Lots of texts transcribed - not open license
- [11] - and their link page
a decent list of pamphlets that might be available elsewhere and are all PD
LOC rare books custom bibliography - at the Library of Congress of rare books, somehow related to cooking.
bibliography of 18th C. texts link farm, various topics - including brewing and cooking - indexed, many are links to non-free resources or to Google books, a few are links to free resources, such as Gutenberg.
Chemical Heritage Foundation Rare Books Collection - just samples
Restorers of Alchemical Manuscripts Society (R.A.M.S.) Digital Library - not free
Cookbook list not sure which are free but some are
British Library cookbooks - just samples
Alchemy Manuscripts at University of Glascow, I'm sure there's a lot more stuff here in many topics, just need to poke about.
ebrary there may be some free stuff here
Early English Books Online - not an open resource and I don't have an account
Sloane Collection British Library search engine for the Sloane Collection
All BL Catalogs
Alibris - just a rare book search, the books are for sale

John Dee

Journal of the Western Mystery Tradition John Dee.Com

Texts On WS that I find particularly intriguing

Maybe I'll work on them, maybe I'll read them

Index:The White House Cook Book.djvu via Mattwj2002 as of 2011-01-03 - no mainspace
The Gateless Gate
Index:Horse shoes and horse shoeing.djvu
Index:The duties of masters and slaves respectively (1845).djvu

Various pages I had an open tab on and couldn't figure out why later

Index:CromwellHugo.djvu

Pages on WS that I find particularly helpful

Examples, nice ways to do things, good style, etc.

List of Plants collected by the Officers, &c., in Captain Ross's voyage, on the coasts of Baffin's Bay - a good example of the use of {{versions}}
The Bell Buoy / The Bell Buoy (comparison) - an example
Quatrains of Omar Khayyam (tr. Whinfield, 1883) - good custom set up of a side-by-side translation of poetry - Inductiveload's work
Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper - layout of a book where many of the images are displayed, there's a pdf download available, and the page numbers have been set in the transclusion; also the "For other versions, see" is better than {{similar}}
Hudibras/Part_1/Canto_1
Index:The Cambridge History of American Literature, v1.djvu
Cartoon portraits and biographical sketches of men of the day
Page:Miscellaneous Papers on Mechanical Subjects.djvu/39
Index:Picturesque New Zealand, 1913.djvu - nice TOC - how was that done?
Sacred Books of the East - nice example of using a table for a listing of volumes of a multi-volume set
Works of Aristotle - another example of using a table for multi-volume set
The Roman Centurion's Song - heavily wikified text.

Pages on WS that I find particularly unhelpful or problematic

Masefield
- - duh - at the time I posted this here the article looked like this, the problem was with the sister link which was just plain dumb, this was an example of a systemic problem with sister links which has been largely - though not entirely - addressed.
The Wizardry of George H. Earle, Jr. - more duh - same as above, though this one hasn't been edited since January which disproves my belief that a bot had taken care of these sister links. In case someone changes this one by hand, it looked like this on 18 August 2011 when I made this note.
Wikisource:Sister projects - this is the reason for this section
Template:Cleaning/Category:Cleaning - do we really need this? See Template:Cleanup/Category:Clean up and also the link in the template to wp:cleanup, really?

Templates

{{translations}} - why? {{versions}} can or should be able to do all the same things, every translation is also a version but many versions are not translations and there are only 31 instances of this template in mainspace (vice over 200 of {{versions}}
{{similar}} - uggh!
{{Plain sister}}
{{Side by side}}
{{side by side pages}} - has trouble with display in template space
{{columns}}
{{side by side pages|The poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus - Francis Warre Cornish.djvu|18}}
{{!}} - was ist? and documentation sucks.
{{long s}} and {{ct}} - and do we need a template Template:Latinv and Template:Latinu and other similar templates?
{{right sidenote}} - compare la:ws:Formula:Nota_marginalis
{{Ext scan link}} - pretty cool, output text may be able to be improved - used on only a few handfuls of pages but could be used more
{{Small scan link}} - also cool, output text is sort of redundant sounding - more used than the above
{{closed}}

{{Need image}} - created by me, I consider this the best

Ideas, bright and dim

transclude {{versions}} pages to the appropriate author page and any relevant dab then make them collapsible/expandable, like commons creator templates are.
