Add topicWelcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. Creating an account on Wikisource has many of the same benefits as creating an account on Wikipedia. For one thing, if you continue to edit without a username, your IP address is used to publicly identify you.
In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question. Again, welcome!
Recent additions
[edit]Thank you for adding some works to Wikisource. I've moved a few of them to match existing page names. The only problem was the poem Haunting Columns by Robert E. Howard, which is still under copyright in the United States so it cannot legally be hosted on Wikisource. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 18:25, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Additionally, please use the {{header}} template at the beginning of all new pages. This is a requirement for all our works. It doesn't matter if you can't fill in all the information, but even just the title, author and year fields would be helpful. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 19:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Check your stuff
[edit]I highly suggest that you get some new OCR programme, because the text your current one outputs is in large parts unreadable or dubious.
Even more, though, I want you to actually read what your OCR programme gives you before pasting it up in here. One single glance would have shown you the quality was unacceptable, with errors all over the place. Many of them are small enough that they can be fixed even without access to your original source, but there still remains a lot of garbled words.
I use Abbyy FineReader, but that's still not perfect even when working from very good images, so checking the output is really a must. Idontcareanymore (talk) 06:22, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
