Welcome to Wikisource!
 |
Now that you're here, you're probably wondering...
Welcome! Thank you for joining Wikisource; we'd love for you to stick around and get more involved. We are a small community of approximately a hundred key people, with infinite help from random passersby. You might be wondering which of the two classes we consider you...well, I guess that's going to be up to you. You'll find we are own our little corner of the Wikimedia Foundation, free from all the drama, arguments and policy violations you may be used to seeing elsewhere. In fact, since we largely just republish exactly what others before us have already written, there is very little concern about "neutrality" for example. After all, if the text of a speech by Adolf Hitler is inflammatory and biased...wasn't that its purpose? If you're looking for a specific topic, you'll likely find it by navigating through Wikisource:Works, whether it's Portal:Islam or Portal:Mermaids. For overarching categories, you might be better looking at something like Category:Poems or Category:Novels. Of course, if you know the author's name, that's easiest of all, just plug in "Author:Rudyard Kipling" and you'll see everything he ever wrote (or was written about him!). |

Chances are, you have a favourite subject we don't cover very well...here's how to change that!
So, your favourite author or subject isn't very well represented on the project? Well as long as you make sure the texts fit the standards of Public Domain, you can add them yourself! (Like all rules, those are basic guidelines, if you want to play with exceptions to the rule, just ask any of the administrators for help) If the text doesn't already exist, just enter its name below and it will pre-load an editing page for you to set to work! Be sure to add {{no header}} to the top of the page, and then include categories so people can find it. If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religious texts, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future! |
Reading when you want, how you want

Places to go, people to meet
 Well, if you've clicked all the way to this tab, you might as well plan on spending a few more hours acquainting yourself with our massive library. It's not perfect, sometimes there's an occasional misspelling or you'll see a text sorted incorrectly. So help us out, let us know, or fix it yourself! If you're bored and just wanting to grab a mop and bucket, then there are plenty of corners that need tidying. Works that need to be split into chapters, Works that need their licensing clarified, Works that need machine-read words corrected, Works that need page-numbers removed and Authors whose full names we don't know would all be a great place to start! |

No idea, why it links to [1], I looked for any "e:" but could not see an obvious wording that could be confusing the software. -- Philip Baird Shearer (talk)
- A bit of binary chopping out of the text (as one does when debugging a computer program) reviled that the problem was in a footnote. The footnote included two instances of {{quotation}} and when excluded, two of the interwiki links disappeared (QED the problem was in the template). So a look in {{quotation}} revealed that an edit on 19 January caused the problem. I have fixed it. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 22:41, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Statement of the Dalai Lama on the 44th Anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day and similar works
[edit]Hi. Would you be able to explain why you believe that works like Statement of the Dalai Lama on the 44th Anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day are in the public domain with regard to copyright. That they are public statements of a person does not exclude them from copyright, though it may allow their reproduction under fair use, however, fair use is not a condition that Wikisource allows for us to host these works. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:25, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please explain where you got these works and what copyright permission is available as I am replying at Wikisource:Possible copyright violations/Special discussion for pages tagged as PD-manifesto to your statements.--Jusjih (talk) 03:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Two authors created
[edit]Is there any evidence that either of these 'authors'
have published works in the public domain? If not, we would not normally create pages for them. If there are, then we would normally list works on the respective pages. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- As for Alfred Sisley, he wrote letters in French as well as in English, which are indeed in PD. There is a letter in English to Joseph R. Woodwell at Smithsonian Institution - Archives of American Art : [2] and [3].
- As for Charles Alfred Bell, I guess at least all his writings published before 1923 is in PD, as Author:Mohandas K. Gandhi.--Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 10:34, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Stéphane Mallarmé
[edit]Please confer with the title page to see that the poem title appeared with a diaresis. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:02, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. Sorry for this. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 17:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
