“ There's no requirement that the entire work in which the poem appeared be proofread, just the page or pages that contain the poem. And we have traditionally considered individual poems to meet the bar for being considered works in their own right in terms of being able to have their own page in mainspace. This can be combined with a portal that would serve as something like a table of contents for the set of poems (because portals are allowed to be thematic collections made by Wikisource contributors) . ”

“ For one, the necessary tools are just not in place. I have a PDF for The Literary Gazette, 1820 but, at the moment, I cannot see any way of proceeding with this method. Having indexed it, I cannot leave it as needing a text layer; I have made that mistake before, only for my file to be overwritten. The snippets of text to be entered are each only a small part of a page. Even so, the whole page must be marked as proofread, even though most of its text is not there. In fact this text has already been validated. ”

“ I understand. Using myself as an example, I have transcribed many fugitive pieces by Florence Earle Coates that were parts of other works containing various authors. If the complete work was not available at Wikisource, or if it was unlikely that it ever would be in one's lifetime, I transcribed the work as in the original (or as close as possible) and supplied a link in the Mainspace notes or on the Talk page to any reference available online. Then list the work on the Author page. ”

“ I am not sure how anyone would be expected to address such a statement, the information is incomplete, and there are no links. People are unlikely to do the legwork to interpret your question rather than answer it. And again, your user talk page is not the ideal place for the community to respond to questions. ”

“ Portal: pages are subsidiary pages, sort of like Author: pages but for works that are connected by something other than the author. They can be for things like documents produced by a government (i.e. doesn't have an individual human author) , or they can be more thematic, like Portal:Children's literature. ”

“ There are many ways to skin that cat, and one of them is to leave them just exactly as they are as an exception to our general practice. Nobody wants to lose all the great work you've put in on these! ”

“ What I am proposing is only to try an experiment with a different way of setting such works up to see if we can find a way that lets you keep working in an acceptable way, but one that is more in line with policy. ”

“ Esme, I see you have already begun transclusion... For a Mainspace title, I would follow the title used in the scan as Billinghurst suggested above (Poems in The London Gazette during the year 1822 by Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L. E. L.) the poet everyone is talking about) ... modifying that as you see fit, as it is rather long... But ".pdf" need not be in the title for a Mainspace page. ”

“ Well, I'll be, that I forgot to read your user page, somehow it slipped my mind. I feel like an idiot. :) Anyway, wow, that's impressive. Thanks for all the hard work with the compilations and then the transcriptions. PseudoSkull (talk) 14:00, 28 September 2021 (UTC) Corruption Problem At the moment and for some time in the past, I am plagued by a rogue file named File:Fileicon.pdf.png, which may invade any pdf that I try to upload. For one thing, the option of 'uploading a new version of a file' is not available to me because it will inevitably be corrupted by that invading image. ”

“ My template has 56, but it shows as 55, so we had page 55 twice! Now corrected. No issue, at all, we all do it. That is why we added the check tool to the Index: page template and it appears on each Index: page. Plus why we do the categorisation to mark the works we have checked, and those to be checked. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC) Transcluding files For 'Adelaide Contents.pdf' see 'The Fate of Adelaide. Table of Contents' in Wikisource (19.5.2017) . ”

“ I've now been through all the text and I'm happy to regard it as proofread. Strangely, the poem Birthday lines on p.58 does not appear in the 1840 edition! One question, if I may:the printer's page markings in the footers were all taken out by Kathleen.wright. I know they don't show in the final product but I always but them in, so that the page appears as shown. Do I need to add them, or not? Esme Shepherd (talk) 11:15, 13 August 2019 (UTC) To the best of my knowledge, consensus is that printer's marks, not being part of the author's work, are not required, but also not forbidden. ”

“ However, I do have the original page, which was page 215. This agrees with Glenn Dibert-Himes and Cynthia Lawson's Index, which gives: in The Literary Magnet 4 (1826) : 215. Esme Shepherd (talk) 20:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC) PS I've found the following reference: Anon, ., ‘The living poets of England. Mrs Hemans’, The literary magnet 4 (March 1826) . Google Scholar. As File:Literary Magnet 1826.pdf has been validated and transcluded to Wikisource, is it really necessary to rename it? Renaming files with pages can cause a problem. ”

“ Gotcha. Sometimes we learn better that way. Londonjackbooks (talk) 17:20, 7 March 2017 (UTC) Esme Shepherd (talk) 16:30, 14 March 2017 (UTC) I have transcluded Landon in The Literary Gazette 1822/Poetic Sketches - Sketch Third but the second page is left aligned even though both pages are centred using center block/s and center block/e in Pages and appear correctly centred there. Why is this?
Poem tag needed to be inside {{center block/s}} template on this page. ”
