“ He towered in his chair as though in the infinite kindness of his vast mind there were room to understand and overlook all the foolish little foibles of all the weak little beings that called themselves men. ”

“ A lack of help pages is currently a known problem on Wikisource. The closest ones that may help are Help:DjVu files or maybe Help:Proofread but neither may directly address the problem. Otherwise: The DjVu file is just one file that contains all of the pages in the book, so you would have to upload a new version over the current copy of the file to add more pages. It is possible to create an Index: page from individual images but, at 900 pages, I wouldn't recommend it. ”

“ With rare imaginative power and beauty of vision, Bassett Morgan's story an arctic fountain of youth brings all the terror and fascination of the far polar plains—the eternal mystery of ice caps whose aurora is a symphony of color, whose white fields are garbed in peace, and whose atmosphere is the chilling breath of death. ”

“ I agree generally with Billinghurst, the Dewey work is out of copyright; the translation depends on Polish law, not US law, per the table that he cites - which I also reference frequently and Cornell is the best source of US code references on line (but I only just noticed it sources some of its data to Wikipedia!) . If the translation is in the public domain in Poland then it is in the public domain in the US, assuming the lack of formalities is correct, etc. ”

“ Your editor has always preferred those stories of his that dealt with deep water over those that dealt with deep space. There is a verisimilitude about sea stories that all the phony parallels about space-going navies can never attain. The feeling all seafarers get about their ships—the animism with which they regard them—is a real thing. And a strange tale of the sea is fact more likely to arouse genuine reader emotion than the most slickly handled but irrevocably synthetic story of a moon-flying navy. ”

“ Inosofar as all men are mortal and foredoomed to death, and as far back as history and myth can pierce we are impressed with the similar mortality of cities and peoples and kingdoms, it is quite natural that the death of the world is a subject that would engage the thoughts of the imaginative. In Amelia Reynolds Long's story, the subject is approached in an intriguing fashion. Without stirring from their own time, without a "time machine," the characters of "Omega" manage to get a vision of things to come—to share those experiences as well. ”

“ You forget—or rather, you do not know—that time is a circle, all of whose parts are coexistent. By hypnotic suggestion, I moved his materiality line until it became tangent with the Waterloo segment of the circle. Whether in physical time the two have ever touched before, is of little matter. ”

“ Constantly your editor has been impressed with the sparsity of our actual knowledge of the world—the things we think we know best so often turn out to be scarcely more than isolated fragments of a great knowledge, our sciences mere segments of other sciences. ”

“ However if it is a mess or lacks source data or clear copyright-free status it could be deleted (but only after a discussion at WS:PD or WS:CV) . "Drive-by" copy-paste jobs which often result in orphaned works with no incoming links and low text quality are discouraged, even if the document is public domain. We'd rather have a well-formatted text that is well integrated into the Wikisource collection. Exactly what are you confused about? The first link is not a file link, as it does not begin with "File:". ”

“ ThomasV had successfully implemented on frWS the interface that is currently used. It needs a bot to go through the proofread pages and create the links for the transclusion. Adam is right in that it is currently transcluding from the DjVu file via the user page. This needs to change to a Project page, but the complicating factor is that it needs to transclude from two different Index files interweaving the alphabetic order and I don't think ThomasV sorted his bot to do this before he reduced his commitments. ”

“ What do you mean by "on a work"? - Presidentman (talk) 00:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC) "Work" is Wikisource-speak for "Article"; changing the categories on an article/work just involves editing the page (or using the HotCat gadget, if you have enabled it) —just like Wikipedia. "Editing" the name of a category is also the same as Wikipedia: creating a new category, moving everything to this category and deleting the original category. We don't have a "Categories for Deletion" but you can raise something at Wikisource:Proposed deletions. ”

“ You can then go the pages by Page:Sandbox.djvu/1, where the "1" is the page number of the page you wish to edit. After you save the index page, you will get a list of pages if the file is a DjVu or a PDF. As for the appropriateness, I can't say for sure, but if it is a document by the US federal government (but not by contractors to the federal government) , then it is should be Public Domain and suitable for inclusion here. State government works may be copyrighted and vary by state, you can read Copyright status of work by U.S. state governments at Wikipedia for more info. ”

“ The news on current affairs is exempt from PRC copyright only if being the mere facts or happenings reported by the mass media, such as newspapers, periodicals and radio and television stations as defined in Article 5 of the Implementing Regulations of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China. ”

“ A mathematical physicist lives in vast spaces where a lightyear is a footstep, where universes are being born and blotted out, where space unrolls along a fourth dimension on a surface distended from a fifth. ”

“ How to manage an Index that is a collection of different works I just uploaded into Commons (with a wrong name, renaming pending... :- ( ) File:The works of Xenophon Vol III Part II.djvu. It's the collection of three different works of Xenophon:

“ I managed to workaround similar "quirks" by adding SUBJECTSPACE: before BASEPAGENAME. I added it to your Dotted sandbox. Sometimes FULLPAGENAME is a better soution depending on what other namespaces a particular template maybe used in or the output that is needed. -- George Orwell III (talk) 04:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC) Template: namespace does not have subpages, similarly, neither does Page: namespace, hence the forward slash (/) is treated as a character, not as a break of levels. Taht being the case then each of the arguments is equal. ”

“ Of course I like the work, but still the open air and the open spaces must be bred in the blood of all of us born and raised out there in the West. I know it's tame and civilized today but even so, to jog along with a haphazard sort of prospector's aim was really fine. ”

The Statement of Randolph Carter

Telling ghost stories in dark and lonely places is an honored tradition. As a rule such tales, recited from memory, are not the type that make for literature—they are terse, grim, and usually described as true occurrences. The works of the "greats" of modern fantasy—save perhaps for Ambrose Bierce—are not easily adapted to such recitation ”

“ Enwiki has a Wikisource, a Wikisourcecat and a Wikisource index template. My question is, with regard to the Wikisource page The Odyssey, is it a category or an index (or just a normal page) ? Thanks. It Is Me Here t / c 13:40, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Normal page. Wikisource will link to it. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 15:24, 4 September 2011 (UTC) In which case, what would an index be? It Is Me Here t / c 17:34, 4 September 2011 (UTC) An index is anything in the Portal namespace, i.e. anything whose title begins with "Portal:". We should probably rename that Wikipedia template. ”

The Gostak and the Doshes
by Miles J. Breuer, M. D.
Of late the pages of science-fiction periodicals have been filled with a lot of words about words. We refer to the stories based upon the neo-science of semantics, the talk about "non-Aristotelianism," and the multiple social, political, moral, and psychological concepts that the more fanatical followers of these word-schemes derive from them. At risk of calling down the wrath of devotees, your editor must confess that most of these stories do not seem to make too much sense. ”

“ For my part, I'll be off the internet for most of the weekend; once I'm back my plan is to continue to proofread or validate some of the works, other than the Dictionary, that I've already helped with. ”

“ The File: image-space always seems to inject an extra-line or extra-padding when the built in parameter-value |right is used. The work-around is to remove the |right parameter and wrap the whole image in {{float right}} instead. I've done this for you already and, of course, usage of that template at the very first line in the page-text field interferes with transclusion by inserting an unwanted line break. ”

“ Bottom line, you'll need to know when its copyright status in Poland. If you can't raise anyone knowledgeable on the Polish Wikisource, you might try the Polish Wikipedia. It would be helpful to anyone looking into it if you provide a link to an electronic version or at least the relevant bibliographic data - this would be especially important so we could establish with some confidence that it wasn't ever published in the US.--Doug.

“ Restoring a Page to Validated Status? Hi! I am wondering if it would be possible to remove my edits to Page:Wood Beyond the World.djvu/129 following my validation edit at 09:28, 19 October 2011. The later edits were unsuccessful attempts, (including adjusting the page status back to earlier statuses) to manually fix the "trailing lf" issue (see User:SDrewthbot/trim trailing LF ) I think the trailing LF issue, for now, can only be fixed by bot, and does not impact the validation of the page. But I am no longer eligible to validate it, bc I have a later edit at Proofreading status. ”

“ The header has never been taken out of experimental, so it is not recommended for use. I have a little script that works through the regex gadget, so sits on my left hand sidebar. You can grab it out of User:Billinghurst/monobook.js, or if you want it added, then turn your gadget on, and identify which skin you are using and I will look to get it done for you. ”

“ If you want it to exist, you need to upload a PDF or DjVu to Wikimedia Commons at commons:Special:Upload. The second is a valid mainspace page that you have just created.
