Newspaper articles as subpages
[edit]Hi. We have been trying for a while now to have newspaper articles sited as subpages to the newspaper, especially for new additions, and you will have seen that I have undertaken that for the recent Bendigo Advertiser addition. This allows us to remain truer to the source of the work. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I'll try not to muddy this. The parts I wouldn't want to lose are all still there, so that's good. Pairko (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Re Blackwood's works
[edit]Hi. You have seen that I have moved Blackwood's short stories to subpages of their published works as you have pasted them into place, plus I have adapted them to relative links for their surrounding works. While we do accept pasted works, they are not our preferred means of contribution as they don't get further proofread. We do have a preference to have the scans uploaded and then proofread page by page as explained in the above listed help pages. If that is of interest and you would like some assistance, then please do ask questions of the community at WS:Scriptorium/Help. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:33, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello. I am producing an anthology of Blackwood’s public domain short works, which is a project outside WikiSource. When I finish an individual work (or find a title) that is not present here, I have been sharing my results here from that project; also correcting errors when I come across them. I’d be happy to bring these works through WikiSource first, except I think it would impede the main project too much. But, I’ll give that some more thought and am interested in contributing to WikiSource using the preferred means once the Blackwood project is complete. And, thank you for adjusting structure to make it align with convention.
- Related question: From one of my earlier projects, I have a clean transcript of a book that currently appears as a ‘transcription project’ on WikiSource. There is an option to create a page for this book and I started do so and copy my transcript into that page. When I saw the ‘transcription project’ I decided this might be unhelpful. If you think that was the wrong conclusion, please let me know as I would like to share what it is helpful to share. -Thanks. Pairko (talk) 19:29, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
You've de-hypenated cow-shed in your proofreading, but it is clearly hyphenated in the original. See Chapter II (linked from the top of the page). --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
The same is true of good-bye. See Chapter III. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:17, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
I have nominated this for deletion as it appears to be just an earlier version of The Story Mr. Popkiss Told with an extra "of" in the title. -- Beardo (talk) 22:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
