sister projects: Wikidata item

Transcription projects are texts backed with facsimiles of a reference edition. This makes it possible to guarantee that a text can be trusted; any modification of the text can be verified instantly, by anyone.

Here is a list of transcription projects, sorted by the type of task that is needed.

If you start a new project, please report it here. A complete list can be found here.

if you find out that one of those texts is available (on wikisource or on another site, e.g. gutenberg), please move it to the next section, and mention it on the index page

Projects with text available, but empty pages (needing match and split)

Note: Match and Split requires an ocr text layer. Update the djvu file if it has no ocr layer.

Index:Traffics and Discoveries.djvu Project Gutenberg
Index:A masque of poets 1878.djvu
Index:Household Cyclopedia 1881.djvu
Index:The grammar of English grammars.djvu Project Gutenberg and also The Grammar of English Grammars, which appears to be based on the Gutenberg text. Note that the Gutenberg text contains the sixth edition, while the DjVu contains the tenth edition of the book. Hopefully, the differences are not that profound.
Index:Milton - Milton's Paradise Lost, tra il 1882 e il 1891.djvu Appears to be the source for Paradise_Lost_(1674).

Conflicts between different editions

A text in the main namespace is transcluded from an edition of reference. Thus, a unique edition of reference should be chosen for each text, unless the difference between editions justifies to transclude several versions.

Index:Woman in the Nineteenth Century 1845.djvu and Index:Woman in the Nineteenth Century 1855.djvu (redundant)
Index:Jane Eyre.djvu and Index:Life and Works of the Sisters Bronte - Volume I.djvu (redundant)
Index:Wind in the Willows (1913).djvu and Index:Wind in the Willows.djvu (redundant)

Not English

Index:Q Horati Flacci Carminum librum quintum.djvu : this is latin, except for a Kipling poem; I guess another edition of reference should be chosen for Kipling poems.
