Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 07:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I did a little tidy

Thanks for the contribution. I see that you had a little issue with {{Author}}, so I have added the extra detail that you were wanting. If you would be so kind, it would be great to annotate the source of the work that you added on the talk page of the work. Thx. — billinghurst sDrewth 07:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I just couldn't figure out that template! There's actually a lot of editing to do with that book. It's a pain with the footnotes especially. Cheers for your input.

I have a little code that can be added to a toolbar, or as a sidebar edit thingy for things like that. In fact we have a few such shortcut things where we have regular text to utilise. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:20, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I should also have pointed you to a page like Help:Proofread which is one of our tools that we utilise. And yes it can take time to transcribe <shrug> though for something like some of the lectures of 50-60 pp, I can now get through them in an evening, well, when my time is not stolen for other duties. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:27, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
