“ In the US, "anonymous" works are defined as those "which no natural person is identified as author", as opposed to those published under a pseudonym. I've seen a great many Victorian works attributed to an abbreviated form of a name, which often can be tracked down. ”

“ You should just try to get as close as possible. Some things work in books but do not work on Wikisource. For example, columns of text are not necessary and do not work well on Wikisource; they should be ignored during proofreading. Remember that several pages will be added together in the main namespace when proofreading is finished. Things like columns will not be readable.
—Beleg Tâl (talk) 01:24, 8 June 2016 (UTC) Index question You seem to be a bit more aware of the details of creating an index page than I am. ”

“ I think my version avoids all the problems of this approach: it specifically only lists versions we have (or are in the process of creating) and it allows for other versions and proper disambiguation. Adding the template to new pages isn't an issue I foresee, as there are only so many books to be added, and I doubt there are many Bibles that contain books not listed at Translation:Bible. A more important issue would be how to update the template when a new translation of the Bible is added. ”

“ Help:Beginner's guide to Index: files should give you a good idea of how to create the Index pages. If you run into trouble or want someone to check them over when you're done, let me know. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 20:03, 15 June 2016 (UTC) Template:Bibleversions Hi,
I wanted to draw your attention to Wikisource:Proposed deletions/Archives/2012-02#Template:Bible versions and Template:Bible versions 2. Given that more-or-less the same template has already been deleted by community consensus, there is a presumption against your new one. ”

“ To my mind "anonymous" works are those in which the author is not identified at all. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:43, 3 November 2016 (UTC) I just don't see much difference if all you know about the author is their initials (assuming that it is their initials, which is not guaranteed either) . Anyway, I've unlinked it. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 21:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC) Index:The Church hymnary (1893) .djvu I've asked for the file to be made local though, until someone like you can provide dates for every composer/author listed. ”

“ Beleg Tâl (talk) 13:34, 11 July 2016 (UTC) Dates in tables If you're going to use a sortable table, then it makes little sense to format the dates as "3 April 1878", because the primary sorting item will be the "3". In a sortable table, it is preferrable to format the dates numerically as YYYY-MM-DD, or "1878-04-03" for the example I gave, so that the items can be sorted by date. ”

“ It's your choice regarding the proofreading guidelines for Bible (King James Version, 1611) , but you might get more participation if you opt for normal-s rather than long-s.
Hope you're having a nice August! :) Outlier59 (talk) 02:22, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
This text has already been on WS for a long time, I was just adding a scan. I have no interest in getting it done or determining proofreading guidelines, besides adapting the existing text to the scan. However, you will notice that there are guidelines, just not at the usual place, at Talk:Bible (King James Version, 1611) . ”

“ Interesting... --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:00, 13 July 2016 (UTC) Adding {{=}} inside html This problem has been archived by Hesperian, but can you tell me why you added {{=}} to some users' signatures diff at Wikisource:Administrators? It added a non-existent category "Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags" to the Admin page. Outlier59 (talk) 23:45, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
If you have text containing = inside a template (such as {{closed}}) , the Wikimedia parser will interpret it as a parameter setting and fail to render the template correctly. For example: {{larger|1+1=2}} yields {{{1}}}. ”

“ Otherwise, each book's version page would need to be updated individually as books are added to the translation, and that defeats a major purpose of this exercise. You'll note that the redlinks on the pages I've done so far (up to and including Nehemiah (Bible) ) adhere to this logic. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 13:23, 24 June 2016 (UTC) Page move Please do not create unnecessary redirects when moving and then delete them.

How do you move pages without creating unnecessary redirects? ”

“ I was confused the first time I saw that too... the page is linked to Wikidata, and the Wikidata item has a "image" parameter, so the image gets displayed on Author pages. I think the mechanics for it are in the author header template. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 19:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC) Thanks for confirming that I am not crazy. — Ineuw talk 19:42, 29 September 2016 (UTC) Ginger & Pickles, scan page 2 I was looking at Page:GingerAndPickles.djvu/2 and I saw your note about possible copyrightedness, but looking at the scan, it almost looks like it's the inside flap of the dust jacket? ”

“ Considering that the book itself claims a copyright of 1987 (or something like that) for the image reproductions, and a copyright of 1991 for the paperback edition (which you will notice has little borders and corner images and so forth) , I'm not entirely comfortable using this scan on WS or Commons. Besides which, I'd like to be able to proofread the whole thing, colophon and all. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 22:07, 30 September 2016 (UTC) Further, look at Commons:Threshold of originality#United States and http://coolcopyright.com/contents/chapter-2/alfred-bell-v-catalda-fine-arts ”

“ No. If it was first published before 1923 it is PD. What is copyrightable about the new impression? The only differences between the original and the new impression is better scans of the art (PD-Art on Commons) , and a new colophon ({{PD-ineligible}} due to no creative content) , —Beleg Tâl (talk) 12:56, 23 October 2016 (UTC) Index:UnitedReformedChurchLionWalkColchesterAct1980Xlii.djvu What to check my OCR cleanup?
