External links
Please see Author:James Hammond. Titles of works should not be external links; the purpose of Author pages is to list works hosted here on Wikisource, not to create a link farm. Where a good scan exists, a temporary {{ext scan link}} can be used after the listed to point to an external scan, but the main body of the listing should not consist of external scans. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:36, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
Poetical Works of John Oldham
Hi, thanks for the validations. for indents i prefer gap template to colon, as the wikicode can be inconsistent is some place. see also Help:Templates#Indenting_and_Alignment. cheers - Slowking4 ‽ SvG's revenge 12:06, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
I notice that you have partly changed the formatting here, and as such with the transclusion. Please standardise the page and the transclusion to that of this page and the transclusions following. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 23:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC).
The version at IA has apparently been patched. Perhaps you'd like to try re-uploading from a KNOWN clean version? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:49, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll take a look, although I'm about 70% of the way through downloading a version (first edition I think) from Hathi Trust page by page.Chrisguise (talk)
Title length
A little note that mediawiki titles are limited to 255 characters, which can cause a little issue for some of our journal articles. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. The article in Volume 3 of the Philosphical Transactions has been transcribed. The Table of Contents is built using anchor points. How do I get this citation on the 'Timothy Clarke' author page to link in this case? Chrisguise (talk) 04:53, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Age of Innocence
It isn't necessary to list the contents on the Index page. The Index namespace is a working namespace, and not the product presented to readers. However, it is necessary to include the {{transcluded}} template to indicate when a work has been fully transcluded. Removing it requires someone to perform a task again that has already been completed once. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:48, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Long s
Hi, I read your comment on Index_talk:The_Discovery_of_a_World_in_the_Moone,_1638.djvu this talk page. As a proofreader, we aim to reproduce the page as it is printed. Where long s's are concerned, when complete, we can produce a second annotated copy with the long s's replaced by modern s's, converted by bot. This is how this book has been started and should continue. Also please sign your comments with quadruple tildes. Cheers, Zoeannl (talk) 10:39, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- As it was me that had been adding {{long s}} in proofreading on this work, I went back and converted all the ones I'd added back to conventional s. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- It seems to me that there's a balance to be struck between reproduction and transcription. While I strive to replicate layout and type size, I err towards transcription since I can't see the point of doing this if we create things that are difficult to read - and making stuff available to read is surely one of the major points of Wikisource. At the end of the day, regardless of what it looks like, the long 's' is just that, an 's'. Chrisguise (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Please remember to include the {{Authority control}} and a license template on all works hosted at Wikisource. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:50, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
If you are going to edit the work, please do so in accordance with the existing style of the work. I am to now go over your work and correct it to the existing style. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 23:46, 31 August 2019 (UTC).
I happen to think that the existing style of the work could be improved - in particular, the insistence on using archaic forms of 's' does nobody any favours in terms of trying to read the text. I also think you'll find that the poems render better. Your blanket undoing of my edits has also removed all of the transcription error corrections that I made, so thanks for that.Chrisguise (talk) 01:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
