Small Caps

Hello,

Thanks for all your work so far on the Homer. The Odyssey, and Historic Highways, v 12. I just thought it worth mentioning that for the first word of a chapter, or an author's name in a reference, the template to use is usually "small caps" {{sc}}, not "all small caps" {{asc}}. The former retains the larger sizes of any normally capitalized text, assuming it is typed as such.

Pride and Prejudice

Hello,

Thanks for proofreading a lot of pages of Pride and Prejudice (1813). Here are several suggestions:

1. It would be great if you could consistently use 'straight' version of quotation marks (e.g. Page:Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1st ed, 1813, vol 2).pdf/207).
2. If a paragraph ends at the end of a page, please add {{nop}} at the end of the page (e.g. Page:Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1st ed, 1813, vol 2).pdf/209).
3. If a word is break at the end of a page, please refer to H:Formatting conventions#Hyphenated end of page words.

Thanks again for your work! CS14654 (talk) 08:56, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Besides, it seems that your proofread is based on a plaintext version of 3rd ed. Please do compare them with the scanned 1st ed word by word, since their spelling and punctuation are very different. CS14654 (talk) 12:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Index:History of Woman Suffrage Volume 1.djvu duplicate text and page numbers cannot be embedded in the proofread text.

Thanks for your help in proofreading this project. It's great work, but embedding and duplicating text shows on the main pages, like [Pg 664] preceded by the duplicated text and they must be removed everywhere. This is the source page and this is the Main namespace result. — ineuw (talk) 18:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

This has NOT been transcluded. Please ensure that a work has been transcluded before marking it as such. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:16, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

I have found several more works that you marked as "fully transcluded", but most of them had not been at all. Again, please do not mark works as "fully transcluded" if they have not been. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:20, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Proofreading

I am finding a high error rate in pages of Encounters that you've Proofread. For example, on this page, many words were run together that should have been separated by spaces, and one paragraph was duplicated. On other pages, I see false paragraph breaks inserted where the original copy does not have one, or paragraphs unseparated that should have been. Many paragraphs have had the final period or final double-quotes removed. Please ensure that, as you Proofread, you are comparing against the original text, which is displayed side-by-side in the Proofreading window. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Beyond the Horizon

Please do not edit on a work that another person is editing at the same location they are currently editing. It results in edit conflicts and lots of wasted effort. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
