Notifying all members of Scan Lab (more info · opt out): (User:Inductiveload, User:Xover, User:Mpaa) Please add File:HudsonTemp.pdf to the end of File:Arthur Rackham (Hudson).pdf, delete the first of those files, and move the latter to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 19:01, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

@TE(æ)A,ea. File updated, but it is marked "do not move to commons until 2074". Are you sure it's eligible for Commons, and if so could you ensure the license is set correctly, then remove the "do not move to commons" template? Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 21:39, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
Inductiveload: I moved it. Is that a problem?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:06, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Notifying all members of Scan Lab (more info · opt out): (User:Inductiveload, User:Xover, User:Mpaa) Compare the file here with the PDF available at the Library of Congress. The file here has the bottom portion of each page cut off. Could this be fixed, please? TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:57, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

I could not figure out why thumbs were created with such a size/layout. File seemed normal to me. I recreated a new pdf. Image quality is a bit worse but the presentation in Page ns is much better. Mpaa (talk) 20:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
It didn't have a weird DPI setting by any chance? Xover (talk) 06:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
I did not check. Mpaa (talk) 17:24, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

The History of Liberty

Notifying all members of Scan Lab (more info · opt out): (User:Inductiveload, User:Xover, User:Mpaa) Could someone split the pages at File:The History of Liberty.pdf, please? There are 35 pages total, split from 18 pages in this PDF. The result can be either PDF or DJVU, I have no preference. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 16:13, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown

This section was archived on a request by: Mpaa (talk) 21:25, 9 November 2022 (UTC).

Can someone please upload Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown from [1]? Languageseeker (talk) 13:00, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: That scan is geolocked. Would this be a suitable alternative? Xover (talk) 06:12, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Xover That one is even better. For some reason, it didn't come up in my search. Many Thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 11:29, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Languageseeker: Done Please check the results. Xover (talk) 16:14, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Xover Thanks! It seems that the MC went through this one quickly. Languageseeker (talk) 13:42, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

The Northern Ḥeǧâz

May I ask for downloading The Northern Ḥeǧâz (1926), and converting to djvu, please? --Jan Kameníček (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Done Index:The Northern Ḥeǧâz (1926).djvu Xover (talk) 21:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Great, thanks! --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:44, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Saint Theresa of Avila

Can someone upload a DJVU from [2] Languageseeker (talk) 03:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Already present, anything wrong with this: Index:Saint Theresa of Avila (Gilman 1889).djvu? Mpaa (talk) 22:48, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
@Mpaa I think that this is a very low quality scan. Can it be replaced? Languageseeker (talk) 09:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Languageseeker The scan you linked has the same physical source (see e.g. Ch. I, page 3) and it has its own problems, like duplicated pages etc ((Preface and ToC are repeated twice), and needs rework. It should be checked if what you link has at least all pages. Mpaa (talk) 09:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Languageseeker done. Mpaa (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Mpaa Thanks. Can you tell me the name of the index? Languageseeker (talk) 08:54, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
@Languageseeker I updated the one above. Mpaa (talk) 08:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Can someone upload a DJVU from [3] Languageseeker (talk) 15:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker following pages are missing: 213(d229), 271(d287), 275(d291). There are also duplicates but that is not a problem. If you want I can upload it all the same but could not find replacements. Mpaa (talk) 19:10, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Found, see File:Winesburg, Ohio (1919).djvu Mpaa (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Can someone upload a DJVU from [4]. The IA tool is not working. Languageseeker (talk) 20:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Can the page be replaced with the scan from [5] Languageseeker (talk) 18:52, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker done. Mpaa (talk) 19:50, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Can the page be replaced with the scan from [6] Languageseeker (talk) 18:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

The front page of this is a Google Books style - cover sheet, which could be blanked. Index creation, and pagelisting will be continued in any event.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 06:55, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00 Suggest to use the California Digital Library IA scan: Index:Mechanism - Dunkerley - 1907.djvu, as it's less "googly". Hi-res image viewer works, with offset 0, for quick direct access to "most-original" images to use for extraction at the IA. Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 13:27, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
@InductiveLoad: Noted. This is possibly a duplicate edition then, and can be removed. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:42, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
Done and index CSS moved to the CDL scan (also d:Q114209944 created). Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 14:00, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
This section was archived on a request by: Mpaa (talk) 21:25, 9 November 2022 (UTC).

Can the duplicate page scans be deleted? The djvu page numbers are: 249, 250, 321, 322, 375, 376, 521, 522, 525, 526, 771, 772, 783, 784, 821, 822, 917, 918. They're also marked on the index. Shells-shells (talk) 18:14, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Done (though it's not that critical in general because you can just mark the pages as duplicates and omit them, so if you want to just get on and proofread, that's fine too). Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 12:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Notifying all members of Scan Lab (more info · opt out): (User:Inductiveload, User:Xover, User:Mpaa) Is there any way that the missing pages in this (original) editions preface, which appear between pages 19 and 20, it jumps ahead a few pages, going from the first preface page to viii, skipping vi and vii, is there any way the pages from this later reprint, https://archive.org/details/b24926735, be added into this scan? The only difference between them is the lack of long s in the text. Reboot01 (talk) 08:36, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

@Reboot01:: Done, by inserting the pages from IA b24926735, which appears to be the first third of the same book: Index:The Magus, or Celestial Intelligencer - Barrett - 1801.djvu. Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 13:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Can Page:The Blacker the Berry - Thurman - 1929.djvu/258 be replaced with Page:The Blacker the Berry - Thurman - 1929.djvu/260. Then, Page:The Blacker the Berry - Thurman - 1929.djvu/259 and Page:The Blacker the Berry - Thurman - 1929.djvu/259 be replaced with Page missing. Languageseeker (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker Done. Inductiveloadtalk/contribs 23:29, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Missing page 1. Presumably it got removed in error in a previous repair, based on the history at commons. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Alternative is to upload Internet Archive identifier: thebookofwerewolvesbarin which seems to be the same edition but with an intact pageset. ShakespeareFan00 (talk)
Done. Mpaa (talk) 21:22, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
