uploading works

the normal process for uploading works is:

1. scan book as pdf
2. upload pdf to internet archive https://archive.org/search.php?query=Annam%20and%20its%20minor%20currency
3. upload file to commons using IAuploader, https://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/ (requires OAuth https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OAuth_Uploader)
4. create index page at wikisource, for example https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Sun_Tzu_on_The_art_of_war.djvu
5. create work page with chapter links, with transclusion from pages, for example https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War_(Sun)

• merely cutting and pasting text, is deprecated - prefer page link to text page scan to verify book.
• yes it is complicated, and hacked together, have wished for a wizard, but no progress so far. Slowking4 ‽ SvG's revenge 14:46, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 09:58, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

yes, IA uploader is buggy and uploads hang when files "are too large". maybe you should open a phabricator ticket. for example https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129071 . Slowking4 ‽ SvG's revenge 16:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

User is gone

There is little point in posting a lengthy discussion to a user who has not edited on Wikisource since 2011. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Pardon, I just wanted to raise privacy concerns. I'm not sure why such sensitive matters can't be discussed with the affected users first before it's posted publicly. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 01:26, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

It's just odd to discuss matters with someone who hasn't been here for seven years. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

I didn't want to do it on the concerned wiki because of the Streisand effect, and I don't have e-mail enabled and my e-mail client is broken, but you're absolutely right. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 03:14, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Just be aware that he may not see your message, if he has notifications turned off. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:21, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
