Texts copied from Gutenberg

Please stop submitting pages copied straight from Project Gutenberg, such as Show Boat, The Trumpeter of Krakow, and Dark Princess. I appreciate the sentiment of wanting to improve our content base with these new public-domain releases, but we need to do it within the confines of our formatting and inclusion requirements. For example:

1. We no longer accept second-hand transcriptions (for example Gutenberg copypastes). See Wikisource:What_Wikisource_includes#Second-hand_transcriptions.
2. The works need to be formatted (for example, centering the front matter content, splitting the novels into chapters instead of just having everything on one page, etc.). See WS:MOS.
3. Ideally things should be proofread in an Index: page. It seems like you got the idea already; working on an index like Index:Show boat - 1926.djvu is a great way to contribute these works we really need.
4. Please take a good read through pages like Help:Beginner's guide to Wikisource in order to see what valid contributions would look like.

I am unfortunately going to need to delete your contributions from Gutenberg. We need to maintain a good image for our site, so that someone doesn't stumble upon bare unformatted copypastas when trying to read a popular novel. Thanks. SnowyCinema (talk) 17:06, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
