“ I didn't actually see a footer on the articles that I randomly viewed (Is it skin dependent?) , but it would be consistent with my more general views about templates that footers should not be a part of a header template. It's just another example of trying to make a template do too much. ”

“ In anticipation one might adjust the title to also add the given name. The broader problem of generic titles will take longer to become apparent. In most of these cases we need to remember that the collective publication was not the original publication. If we look ahead to the future of the project we will need to determine a canonical version for works like this so that they can be more easily cross-referenced from other works that we have. ”

“ We can't keep up with the large databases like Google Books or even Project Guttenberg; we just have to do it better. Eclecticology 02:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC) For merging the EBD pages, I would suggest a basic alphabetical grouping
The category system is a bit of a black hole, and I see where people have set up categories that are utterly useless like "Early modern authors" or "Authors born in 1823", or authors' religions. The author's religion may be useful in Wikipedia, but it has nothing to do with the purposes of this project. ”

“ With that project flatlined at 12% for a year, it doesn't inspire much enthusiasm. So far the only article that I have found in the CE with multiple authors is Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) /Rites. It has different sections signed by different authors. I have not yet found any with no author. For the translator template, can a distinction be made between inapplicable translator and unknown translator? The difficulty with the Evil berry solution is that it may be unmaintainable if that needs to be done manually. ”

“ I'm a very busy person. I hav a lot of things to do. But I'll try to do something.--Angel of the Lord 01:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Mistake? Not sure if it was a mistake or what, but I reverted Letter announcing Selassie's Ascension moved to Letter announcing Selassie's Ascension since one is "behind the scenes work" and the other is the actual mainspace text with header, categories, formatting and such. ”

“ If we google/search, we can find four or five existing WS works for each state, and can then link to offsite PD texts for each one as well. The United States is fairly unique in its citizens having a great deal of patriotism to their individual state - thus a new member from Texas is more likely to contribute to Wikisource:Texas than they are to help with Wikisource:United States.

Well I don't have a copy of Catholic Encylcopedia thingy uhhh...but I am Catholic. ”

“ You only needed to put up your hand. Anything you could have said beyond that is merely dressing, as everyone who considers your nomination will be doing their own homework in order to be certain that they actually do trust the person with the tools. I've put my homework up there as I had already done it prior, and I was waiting for my administration discussion to be closed before I nominated you. John Vandenberg 01:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC) Thank you Thank you for the welcome message. Could you help me to find a tag to put on the article that is currently being translated? ”

“ There were serious problems with page naming (one subpage called "The Critique of the Critique of Judgment" for instance, found nowhere in the work) , as well as wrong titles of parts in the table of contents. ”

“ I re-added the newer version of the "standardization and cleanup" tool; version 1.2 of the framework supports transcluding tools, so you're always using the latest version. —{admin} Pathoschild 19:11:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Unpublished works in Australia As far as I know, unpublished works are not public domain in Australia; i.e. they hold copyright indefinitely (see , and consider following up on Wikisource:Scriptorium#PD-US-unpublished where I have started a more general thread) . ”

“ As Kipling died in 1936, the poem is PD in the United Kingdom. If there is a problem with US copyright, please delete it. Thanks for the warning. Poetlister 23:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Heh, I actually came to the talk page to make the same point. The poem is PD in its country of origin, which is (debateably) traditionally enough to merit inclusion on WS, PD in either the US or its country of origin, as I understand things. ”

“ Thanks. Cowardly Lion 16:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Bret Harte's works (Condensed Novels in particular) It's one thing when we're talking about a collection of works originally published independently, that have no connection to one another, and were gathered together between the covers of a single book for mere convenience. It's quite another when a piece was conceived from the beginning as a component part of a larger work. ”

“ I've created w:Template:sisterlinks-author. Seems to do the trick. -- Kendrick7 18:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Talk:The storm Hi John, thanks for the heads up and keeping me in the loop. I have been very busy with real life and haven't had time for editing here. I have so much literature I would like put here, just have to find the time. (I saw you supported Giano, so did I. Oh the drama of Wikipedia!:) - Epousesquecido 21:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, John! Thanks for your help there - it's much appreciated! Thanks for the welcome, too - it's really cool of you to do that. ”

“ Did I do this header correctly? When should I use "override_author", and when should I use simply "author"? The actual titles of many of these editorials are rather generic (e.g. "THE DRED SCOTT CASE") and others are untitled. Do you think the names for these are appropriate? Is anything else missing from these? How about the categories I recently created? Are these correct? Thanks, Quadell 13:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Puzzled Hi, I edited Middlemarch a few minutes ago, and when I looked at it on my watchlist, it had a red exclamation mark to the left of it. I've never noticed that before. ”

“ I'm fairly new to Wikisource, but not Wikipedia; from checking logs (and your user page) , I can see that you're an admin, so would you care to guide me a bit? An introduction to Wikisource, perhaps? Thank you very much!

Rajiva Wijesinha Thank you for your message. Re: the following "In order to keep hosting these speeches and letters, we need each copyright holder (i.e. Rajiva Wijesinha) to license theses works under one of the licenses we accept ({{GFDL}}, {{CC-BY-SA-2.0}} or {{PD-release}}) . ”

“ It would be much more attractive when we have two "volumes" of a work :) Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Pulitzer-winning writings 21:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
translator param sounds good to me Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Pulitzer-winning writings 03:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC) We should try to go back, and add the Wikiusers who contributed to the discussion, to the ( (Info) ) box on the talk page in these cases - practically "because people like getting credit", and officially "so that we know who to speak to, if we have questions or criticisms of a specific translation". ”

“ Also could you confirm that which ever license is selected, it will only apply to work which originally appeared on wikisource (i.e it shouldn't apply to his fictional work which is handled by his publisher under usual copyright rules - not free to distribute - which I won't be putting on wikisource anyway) . Your advice would be appreciated as I don't want to get it wrong. Skylark1 10:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice. ”

“ Thanks for the info! (And it looks like it takes a lot of work to make a bot!) :) --Skunkmaster IV 04:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Titles Is there a way to change the title of a page without having to create a new page and transferring all the data/book?
Thanks, Skunkmaster IV 23:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
You can move pages. At the top of each page, beside the history button, is a "move" button. That will allow you to re-title a page. Definitely dont copy&paste content around unless you are splitting a page into multiple subpages. John Vandenberg 23:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! ”

“ I will put the relevant copyright tags in - its a work in slow progress. Skylark1 14:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Photo Clicked the button on the camera which took it. Subject of the photo has the original - also used on the website which has the public use disclaimer. I'll tag it as public domain? Skylark1 14:54, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Translator template Any chance you can make it like the "Author" entry, so it auto-wikilinks to the page, rather than requiring [ [Author:Foo|Foo] ] each time? Also, I'd suggest a line break between author and translator for aesthetic purposes, no? ”

“ Pulitzer-winning writings 07:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC) header http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=A_Course_In_Miracles/Text/Chapter_5&action=edit
{{header2 | title = [ [../|A Course in Miracles: Text] ] | author = Helen Schucman | section = Chapter 5: Healing and Wholeness | previous = [ [../Chapter 4|Chapter 4] ] | next = [ [../Chapter 6|Chapter 6] ] | notes = }} ^^It looks like that has been used pretty much so far. I think header2 will work pretty good. I don't suppose you know of a way to automate their creation? It takes a lot of copy+paste to format them all correctly. ”
