[edit]Welcome
Hello, Zziccardi, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
You may be interested in participating in
Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{CotW}} to your page for current wikisource projects.
You can put a brief description of your interests on your user page and contributions to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia and Commons.
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.
Again, welcome! Beeswaxcandle (talk) 05:15, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Wikisource is not Wikipedia
[edit]Please note that applying Wikipedia's Manual of Style here is not warranted. We are a separate project, and do not use the same style guidelines that Wikipedia has developed. This does not mean that corrections made according to their MOS are necessarily wrong; it just means that the Wikipedia MOS cannot be relied upon to provide an accurate picture of our local style. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:22, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hello, @EncycloPetey: Firstly, I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to you—as you can probably tell, I'm not a frequent contributor to Wikisource. I'm well aware Wikisource is a separate project and has its own style guide. For clarification, in my edit summary I was not trying to say that Wikipedia's Manual of Style is applicable on this project, but rather attempting to explain my correction of what I perceive to be "a minor punctuational error". As WS:STYLE does not address that the last element of a geographical reference should be considered parenthetical—and, therefore, requires a comma on either side in standard English—I sought to provide a link describing the concept for those who may not be familiar with it.
