Again, welcome! -- billinghurst (talk) 14:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

source

Hi. A minor thing. Could you add the source for your contributions, if a variant turns up we can then able distinguish them. If you go to your preferences, click the tab "misc" and the first check box in the section "Editing tools" a template will automatically load when you go to the discussion page. This will make your welcome contribution even better. Cheers, Cygnis insignis (talk) 15:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

{{smallrefs}}

We have {{smallrefs}} exactly for the purpose, and you will find it in your toolbar down the bottom of the page. -- billinghurst (talk) 15:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Titles.

Hi again, we don't use full stops in titles if we can avoid it. I'll make the changes if you like, but just a quick note to stop you getting confused. I'll report back. Welcome contributions otherwise, regards Cygnis insignis (talk) 20:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

That was rash of me. The characters may cause search problems, but I will get another opinion. Keep going as you are, don't let me distract you from your good work. We can see what can be done a bit later. Cygnis insignis (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

And To Celia is an example of what can be done if there is two poems with the same name. The parentheses can be hidden by typing [[To Celia (Fielding)|To Celia]] or just [[To Celia (Fielding)|]] , the pipe "|" will give a result of To Celia. Cygnis insignis (talk) 21:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I replied at my talk page, hope it is helpful. Cygnis insignis (talk) 22:07, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I found a scanned version of volume eleven, getting it now. Cygnis insignis (talk) 22:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Here is the title of the 401 page scan; the OCR is not the best, but it should allow me to help you with proof reading. Cygnis insignis (talk) 23:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Not the right one! I'll see about finding it later, remind if I don't. Regards

Paragraphs in Proofreading

{{helpme}} I was having a first stab at proofreading; everything fine so far, but I'm having trouble getting the paragraph sign to appear in line with the first line of a new paragraph. Two returns doesn't seem to work. Three returns and the sign appears, but it's one line above the new paragraph. See for instance: Page:Keats, poems published in 1820 (Robertson, 1909).djvu/18. Thanks

I don't know the reason of this output of the wikicode. At it.source we get some space at the beginning of the line by two returns; here (and at all our sister projects) it doesn't happen. No problem: just use two returns.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 13:30, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
