History of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry

Hello, I would just like to thank you for assistance in transcribing this work. Every little bit counts! Thanks, --Kges1901 (talk) 22:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks for transcribing the rest of the Dahlgren Raid appendix. Would you be willing to proofread pages 183, 184, 185, and 186 so that I can validate them? Kges1901 (talk) 16:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the proofread of Mexico under Carranza. Feel free to mark the page as proofread because the I can validate it. — Ineuw (talk) 21:16, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Narrative of Pascual de Andagoya

Thanks but it looks quite wrong when you look at the finished project. The sentence was broken after your changes so I undid your changes. See here. Why did you reformat all the footnote sections? When I undid your changes the sentences are then, CORRECTLY, not split / broken on the finished project. I believe you must undo your changes. The book (footnote formatting) didn't need changes, but only to be validated. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 15:49, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

I've asked for help here. Hopefully someone will help. Thanks.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 16:33, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Jan said to use ^[1] on the page where the reference starts and .. Sorry to have caused you a headache.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Adding not proofread pages of John Huss' Letters

Hi. Thanks for trying to help with John Huss' Letters. However, I would like to ask you if you were willing to validate some of the proofread pages, which would help me much more. Thank you very much. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:46, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Help:Footnotes and endnotes

Hi. This page gives the detail on how we manage replicating placing footnotes into "references" and when they are finally transcluded they become active endnotes. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:57, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit conflicts

It seems that we continually have an edit conflict, so to avoid it I moved my work to start with Page:Vol 2 History of Mexico by H H Bancroft.djvu/727.

As far as the italicized references go, don't bother. I have a script which checks each reference and italicizes it based on a dictionary which I placed here. If you just clean the text, I can gladly italicize the references quickly, just don't mark it proofread. — Ineuw (talk) 23:36, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

refs

Just in case someone hasn't shown you, this is the process for reference tags in Page: namespace … special:diff/9702547/prev. Explanation at Help:Footnotes and endnotes. Need a hand with this, then pop over and questions to Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

The New Northwest

Hi, I appreciate your proofreading efforts on the issue of The New Northwest I uploaded. Is this something you'd like to continue with? I ask because there are several things about this particular newspaper that interest me. I'd like to upload at least a few chapters of the serialized novel Judith Reid, as we don't otherwise have any examples of Abigail Scott Duniway's works of fiction on Wikisource. Also, there are a few columns by Frances Fuller Victor, an author whose work I've studied closely.

I think next I will upload this edition of the paper: https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn84022673/1871-08-25/ed-1/seq-3/ If you are interested, I hope you will continue to work on these too! -Pete (talk) 18:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Reference issues

Some things for you to be aware of:

1. When you proofread a page with a <ref follow=xxx> reference, please check the reference name in the previous page. A naming error breaks the main namespace page. e.g: name=D335 follow=p335.
2. In our type of proofreading texts (19th century non-scientific texts), there is only one "name" and one "follow" reference per page. Therefore, adding the printed reference number has no meaning. It's extra work and a waste of time. e. g.: p335-29 is completely unnecessary.
3. When there is no space in the reference name, you can omit quotation mark enclosure.
4. I always use the Djvu number preceded by the capital letter 'D' as in D735, not as 'p735'.
5. I never use the page number for a reference name because page numbers are not accurate. If we edit the same volume/project, you can always be sure that the reference name always starts with 'D' and the number is the current Djvu number less 1.
6. If in doubt, just ask. I will be happy to help and discuss options.

Cheers. — Ineuw (talk) 21:48, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Consistency of proofread pages

Hello. Thanks for proofreading some pages in the Essay on the mineral waters of Carlsbad. However, when you proofread some pages of a book being already proofread by somebody else, could you be more consistent with the work already done? For example, if the previous proofreaders used curly apostrophes and curly quotes, they should be used consistently in newly proofread pages too. Besides that, if the text contains some non-English expressions, could you wrap them with the {{lang}} template, e. g. {{lang|fr|déjeuners à la fourchette}}, please? Or alternatively, if you do not want to bother with these details, could you validate some of the pages which were already proofread? It would help more than proofreading which needs to be revisited. Thanks very much! -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:03, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Re: Proofreading of Jesuit Education

Please accept my gratitude for the proofreading of this index. This is an unexpected magic. — ineuw (talk) 20:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
