She

Can Index:She (1887).pdf be uploaded as a DJVU because Commons seems unable to render the PDF and IA Upload does not generate the DJVU. Languageseeker (talk) 15:19, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I'd already uploaded the a generated DJVU Index:She_(1887)_(shehistoryofadve1887hagg).djvu, but the text layer is offset.

@Languageseeker, @ShakespeareFan00: New file is at File:She (1888).djvu. Note, I used 1888 as that is the year printed on the title page. If there is something I'm missing and this was somehow really published in 1887, then request a file move at Commons before you move or create an index for it (Commons file movers can't rename a file if it is in use). Xover (talk) 19:05, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00 Xover Thank you. Xover, you're right, this is the revised 1888 edition. Good catch. Languageseeker (talk) 02:57, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

The Graphic

I'm looking for w:The Graphic for October 1886 and January 1887 that contains the original, bloodier version of She. Languageseeker (talk) 02:59, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

• Languageseeker: I’ve looked into this a bit, and I might be able to get scans of the serialization early next year. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:11, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
  • Languageseeker: I have just received the scan, but it is missing a page. I will upload it (here) after I have retrieved that page. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:14, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

    @TE(æ)A,ea.Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 15:33, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

    • Languageseeker: See Index:She (The Graphic).pdf. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 19:34, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

File:Wells - The First Men in the Moon, 1901.djvu

The current scan has a replaced cover while the original cover is available at [[3]]. Can the repaired cover be replaced with the correct one. Languageseeker (talk) 16:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: This file is in use across multiple projects so we can't just overwrite it. If the issue is significant we can upload a different scan and migrate all the pages over (but that quickly snowballs into quite a bit of work, so you need to consider how pressing the issue is). Xover (talk) 18:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

@Xover I think that the cover should be replaced because this is spreading inaccurate information across multiple wiki projects. These projects are claiming that the replaced cover is the original cover when it is not. For example of the correct cover, see [4] or [5]. Languageseeker (talk) 01:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: I don't disagree. But 1) we don't own the articles on the several Wikipedias that currently use this cover, and 2) we're clients of Commons, which has policies that prohibit overwriting files in this circumstance. So… we can upload a new file with the correct cover and migrate our dependents over to that new file. We can propose (possibly through a WP:BOLD edit) that those other Wikipedias switch to using this new file. And we can note in the file's description on Commons that the file uses a non-original cover. Xover (talk) 07:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Index:Anatomy of the human body (1918).pdf

Can proofread pages be merged from Index:Anatomy of the Human Body(Lewis-1918).djvu and Index:Anatomy of the Human Body(Lewis-1918).djvu be deleted. Languageseeker (talk) 15:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Because of reasons I built a new DjVu from Internet Archive identifier: anatomyofhumanbo00grayrich and patched it with the missing pages from Internet Archive identifier: 101532328.nlm.nih.gov (pp. 1091–1092, 1139–1140). I have moved all pages over from Index:Anatomy of the Human Body(Lewis-1918).djvu to the new DjVu at Index:Anatomy of the Human Body (1918).djvu, but have not yet deleted any of the old indexes. Please let me know if there's something that necessitates using specifically the scan from Index:Anatomy of the human body (1918).pdf instead.

Also, please note that I have uploaded the new DjVu locally on enWS since Warren Harmon Lewis's (1870–1964) contributions are still in copyright in the UK until 2034. The old scan files on Commons will have to be deleted for this reason. Xover (talk) 06:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Oh. And absent actual evidence to the contrary, I see no reason to assume that pp. 29–32 are "missing". p. 28, which is independently numbered in roman numerals (xviii), is a bibliography that starts at A and ends with Zeitschrift für Wissenschaftliche …. It is highly unlikely that you'll find much that's sorted after Z and W. So anything missing would have to be 4 full pages of a completely different section, crammed between the contents+bibliography and the start of the first chapter. And precisely that section would then have to be missing from every single scan identified so far. So… Unless someone finds a scan that has a plausible set of pages numbered 29–32, I'm going to go ahead and assume this is a pagination error at the printers. Xover (talk) 11:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

From Wikipedia -Warren Harmon Lewis (June 17, 1870 – July 3, 1964) was an American embryologist and cell biologist. , Was he working in the UK when editing this work? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:57, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: Not sure what I was thinking there. You seem to be right, so I've xwiki'ed to Commons and deleted the local file. Xover (talk) 10:43, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
