- hi, tips are a big subject. i would start at the Wikisource:Proofread of the Month and look at some of the style done there. there are a few 10000 pages to do at our Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. if you know wikicode markup (pseudo-html) then you are starting ahead. let me know if you have questions. cheers.

- that’s a start. a link on the author page would help also. the next step is to find the google book scan, or internet archive scan, and do the side by side transcription. we like to drill down to the base primary source text if we can. let me look around for the book it is from.

- no problem, google books blocked, is it a security setting ? or are you outside the US? only a problem if you want to add texts. there’s plenty to do around here just at source. poetry can be a little tricky with line breaks - check out Wikisource:Style_guide#Poetry_and_annotations and Category:Poems. cheers Slowking4♡Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 02:44, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
