Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to Wikisource! I've noticed that you've made both Author:Daniel Desmond Sheehan and Author:D.D. Sheehan pages. I've made the latter into a redirect to the former so as not to clutter WS up. The Wikisource community is glad to have you involved here!—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 22:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure quite what you mean about your link not showing. Could you explain so I can help you out? Thanks!—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 23:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

National Volunteers at Wikipedia

Hi! I fixed the problem. What the problem was, was that the link had a slash at the very end (you created the link to be http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:D.D._Sheehan/; see [1]. However, the software was linking to a page here at WS which had the title "Author:D.D. Sheehan/", which obviously isn't here. All that needed fixing was the slash at the very end to be removed. Then it operated just fine. So, in the future, when you create links like that, put the exact page name after the "...wiki/" in the link (i.e., don't put the slash at the end of the URL). This will make it work. Hope this helps for the future.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 19:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Conscription for Ireland

Hi, thanks for adding the above speech. We've recently implemented a policy of trying to note the source & text quality of sources so that they can be protected from vandalism if they are sufficiently complete & sourced. Could you please see the text quality link & add any info you have to the anti-conscription talk page using the template given under the header "Information about the texts". It's on my watch list so I'll put in a protection request for it once you've done so. More information on adding texts is available at Help:Adding texts if you're interested. Thanks again.

Hi, Thanks for leaving the source. I'll add the infobox to the talk page but I unfortunately won't be able to protect it as I can't make any judgement of its accuracy compared with the original. Just looking through the speech is the style (itallics for quotes, bold in some places, brackets for members names, etc) as in Hansard? I believe S:blah works as a link to wikisource. AllanHainey 08:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I've added the info box & replaced the (1) for the footnote with a proper link to the footnote, I've removed the bold text too & added "" around the quotes (I've left them in itallics). In the infobox on the talk page I noted you as a proofreader as you proofed & added it. Can you please check it over & if text quality meets the level noted in text quality change the level from 50% to 75% (at which point it can be protected), I haven't done this as I can't verify the texts accuracy.

On the speeches we have at wikisource we're trying to get some standard format/accepted style in place (bold for names of new speakers, eg for interjections & questions during speeches & itallics for those referred to in brackets eg member for Westminster (Mr X) - as these are additions by the publisher & not part of the actual speech as spoken) as these aren't in your Hansard I haven't followed this for this speech & have noted so on the infobox, depending on discussions though this may later be implemented throughout our speeches (won't be soon though if it does go through). AllanHainey 13:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Generally the paragraph breaks are irrelevant, Hansard could have rendered them in any way (& indeed so do most of the sources we have) & they are unlikely to bear much relation to the actual flow of the speech unless they're paragraph breaks between different parts of the speech (eg author dealing with different questions or subjects). I've removed some of the wikipedia links as we try to avoid linking for self explanatory things like war office or British army, etc. We try only to add wikilinks for obscure or unknown terms or names. See http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archive3#Wikification.3F for a previous discussion on this. I'm not sure what you're getting at with "so all three fall together under "I"." we don't really list speeches alphabetically & all speeches related to Ireland should be noted in Category:Irish speeches anyway. By the way you mention the Gladstone speech, it is currently uncompleted as I could only find an abridged version when I added it, if you happen to have a coplete version to hand you might think about completing it if you have the time. If not it'll keep. Before I forget. On the texts you note "Text unabridged from published public records:". This should really be noted on the talk page not the article page. As we've noted the source on the talk page I've removed it from the article page. I'm assuming that it wasn't from Hansard but part of your own intro. If I'm wrong in this we can easily put it back. I've now put in a protection request for these 2 speeches at Wikisource:Protection requests so they should soon be locked. AllanHainey 12:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Osioni, The 2 letters in formatting is fine, it doesn't really make much difference & I wouldn't say its really necessary but as you've done it there's no point in changin it back. On MP I generally just write it without the dots so I'd go with that for any intro you write but if you're quoting hansard or any other source I'd use the format they do. On Labourers' dwellings versus labourer's dwellings. The former (hansard) version is correct as it refers to the dwellings of more than one labourer rather than one labourer who has several dwellings (as the latter version does). It really modern or old fashioned versions of the same thing, though nowadays people tend to punctuate more poorly & just use 's most of the time. Thanks for dealing with the Gladstone speech, I doubt if it'll get completed between now & May otherwise. AllanHainey 08:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Osioni, The infobox (I presume you mean the "information about this edition" box) isn't breaking up the date on my screen, it creates a new line at "1906, during its debate on 11 August 1911" & doesn't look untidy to me. I'm not sure what you mean by "the Birrell Labourers (Ireland) Act (1911)" and where you want to add it. Frankly I don't think it needs to be unprotected just to add further introductory info, the intention is that once a text is protected it should only be unprotected for proofreading/correction rather than just expanding already sufficient introductory info. However if you feel it needs to be you can make an unprotect request at Wikisource:Protection requests, this is the proper procedure in any event as any admin can deal with protection/unprotection requests & it is better to put these things before the community rather than just arranging things privately.

Gladstone Home Rule Speech

Hi Osioni, I've removed your e-mail address from my talk page so you won't get spam from any of the wee bots that roam about pages on the internet copying any e-mail addresses they find & sending spam to them. Thanks for locating that speech, I gather that its just in paper copies. If you want to you can post it to me & I'll try and add it when I have some time. I'll e-mail you with my postal address. Thanks AllanHainey 11:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I got this the other day, thanks. I'll try to add it when I have time, together with proofreading the Sheehan speeches. AllanHainey 11:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Speech on the Labourers Acts

I made a small edit to the header of Speech on the Labourers Acts. Could you confirm that this edit is acceptable (either here or on my talk page) so that I can protect the page as you've requested? Thanks! --Spangineer^wp (háblame) 19:39, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
