Hello Nemo bis, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.
You'll find an (incomplete) index of our works listed at Wikisource:Works, although for very broad categories like poetry you may wish to look at the categories like Category:Poems instead.
Please take a glance at our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). Most questions and discussions about the community are in the Scriptorium.
The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page! John Vandenberg (chat) 08:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Mass uploading to Internet Archive
[edit]Hi, thank you for offering help regarding Internet Archive! I started a requested uploads page and it would be great if you can help to mass upload the PDF scans from the website listed to IA for Djvu conversion. Solomon7968 (talk) 09:30, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Re from my talk: Yeah I was emphasizing mass upload, I mean uploading say 100s/1000s of PDF documents from any website (public domain of course) to IA. The new tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload tool then makes life a lot lot lot easier to upload the files from archive.org to Wikimedia Commons. Solomon7968 (talk) 09:51, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Your comment makes sense: Frankly I started with a collection of 18 books because I thought you will not respond if I say 100s/1000s in the first time! I am presuming then it would be easiest to mass upload a series of journal (listing by volumes, that is clean metadata), is it? I also added the instruction to the main page.

- Yes, series of journals is easier. --Nemo 22:05, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Ha, you did replied to me. That's why it is best to keep discussion unfragmented.

Hello. Could you please be more specific as to what you would like to see uploaded from this site? For guidance on what we include at Wikisource, please refer to Wikisource:What Wikisource includes. Thanks! Londonjackbooks (talk) 10:47, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's a general resource, feel free to move to external links if that section seems inappropriate to you. Nemo 12:09, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- I see, thanks. Londonjackbooks (talk) 12:21, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Bengali language/literature content on Wikiquote(s)
[edit]Do you know of any way to contact a specific Internet Archive volunteer? I mean does there exist a way to know their Email id or is there any equivalent of talk page concept there?
I have created the q:Bengali language article on the English language Wikiquote and want to add quotes there on Bengali literature. Specifically there is no Wikiquote article on w:Sunil Gangopadhyay. The easiest way in my mind to create his Wikiquote page is to add quotes from the English language translation of his trilogy: Sei Samay - Pratham Alo - Purba Paschim. I noticed the User Loswald on IA uploaded the Kakababu Samagra on Internet Archive identifier: KakababuSamagra and is probably capable of doing a similar job with the three work trilogy I mentioned. Is there any way to contact Loswald by Email or talk equivalent as I say above?
Also ping Hrishikes (talk • contribs), Bodhisattwa (talk • contribs) and Titodutta (talk • contribs) if they have got anything to add here. Solomon7968 (talk) 10:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
