“ Jeepdaysock, I never wanted wikisource anything but "friendly". It is, as I have learned, imperative to be able to ask questions. I am not inclined to ask questions although I have had to. I feel that I am imposing upon people by bothering them. I recall a statement of this sort by me on AdamBMorgan's page. Now, because I started here without asking questions and worked here for a good while (years) I did not read all that I should have nor ask questions except to Billinghurst who I found to be intelligent, very helpful, and very friendly. ”

“ It is not uncommon to ask someone to review your work, though randomly selecting someone is often not successful, we are all volunteers on the project, working wherever our interests lead us. Wikisource:Proofread of the Month is the best place to suggest a work for community involvement. For myself I mostly just work to get my project to the proofread state and maybe someone will come along in a month or a decade and validate it. As for how long one takes to proofread a page ”

“ Too many devilish or childish people like "payback". You are also absolutely right in that I care a lot about Wikisource and that includes protecting it. But I have been protective of people and good things all of my life as it is my nature. ”

“ Having admin tools will be most helpful to you personally in clean up (delete or move) of mainspace works. You have PDF skills and tools, that would also be helpful there. What ever you decide to use the tools for I know it will be for the good of the project, and that is what counts. What it really comes down to is community trust, you are active on the project and in the community, and you have the communities trust; That is the primary criteria for adminship, you have it. I also notice that per Yet Another Edit Counter you have over 8,000 edit patrols. ”

“ Although I understand that we can rarely prove or disprove copyright in such cases, I see zero evidence that anyone has researched it and I think that's critical. I think it's fairly safe to assume that Billinghurst and Inductiveload did any copyright research under Masefield's name as otherwise they likely would have changed the author on the work. ”

“ Copyright law is tough, and we don't have lawyers or courtrooms to give us answers. We are all just lay people who care about Wikisource, we do our best to work out the solutions. If you want to be an admin or not, I know you care about Wikisource, so I would encourage you to watch and participate at Wikisource:Possible copyright violations. All the technical skills in the Wiki world will not make you a admin on Wikisource, but a good grasp of WS:WWI & WS:CV will. ”

“ Moral being a request is not likely to have an impact if the user does not log on, presumably the the user is delayed by holiday activities. You might discuss it with User:Billinghurst who is more bot aware than I, there is no rule against manually archiving files, but I am not sure what steps would be required to ensure that user:sanbeg (bot) is not adversely impacted on the next archive attempt of Wikisource:Scriptorium. ”

“ Just do the best you can is all anyone can ask. As for admins, you should read Wikisource:Adminship being an admin is really nothing special. Access to extra tools, some level of familiarity with WS policy, and a track record of not repeatedly doing stupid stuff. ”

“ Regardless of admin status or ID you are the same person if you have concerns that your online activities will lead to real life issues then a name change is in order, being and admin or not will not change anything. ”

“ Another important skill is people skills, you are always polite and courteous when dealing with other users. You have an ever increasing knowledge of Wikisource policies and practices. The only area I see that you really need more experience in is copyright. You can continue to learn more about WS policy by watching and/or participating in the discussions at, Wikisource:Scriptorium & Wikisource:Proposed deletions these are the two main areas where discussion of day to day operation of Wikisource occurs. ”

“ William Maury Morris II Talk 20:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC) 1. There are no shifts, we are here when we are here. If you don't do anything for a long time (like a year) during annual confirmation you loose your admin tools, but keep your normal privileges (like you have now) . 2. You can change your name, see this page on Wikipedia, for some discussion about it. Given the number of times you have used your real name, it most unlikely you would be able "hide" under a new name. Once anything hits the web, it is essentially available for anyone who cares to look, and has moderate skills. ”

“ Continue editing and build up a stronger edit history Find and area in Category:Wikisource or Category:Wikisource maintenance that appeals to you and contribute to it I know you are watching Wikisource:Scriptorium, so the next step is contribute to the discussions, this will get the community used to seeing your name and your response style. I think you have the potential to be an great admin, keep up the good work and we can see if the community agrees. If you have any questions along your path to adminship, do not hesitate to ask me (or any established user in the community) . ”

“ Technical skills are great to have, but the are not what makes an admin. It clear from my interactions with you that you have the most important quality of a potential admin; a desire to maintain Wikisource. ”

“ Your argument that "The general guidelines do somewhat apply" is not persuasive, when one reads the paragraph in it's entirety. Do you know what the motivation behind calling for numbering rather then naming of chapters is? I am asking because I numbered the sections based on the guideline, and under the assumption there was a good cause calling for that usage, and the guideline should be updated to include the rationale or to provide for naming conventions non-chaptered work. ”

“ Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc It looks that you played a significant part in early set out of the work. When I look at the front page with a wider screen the right aligned images have an ocean of white space. I am wondering whether a gallery may be a reliable means to display, and I am led to believe that there is now finer control on the display of galleries. Also when I was checking transclusions, I see that Page:Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc.djvu/17 missed a guernsey, and I would like to see if we can get it introduced somewhere. ”

“ Per Wikisource:Copyright policy All works on Wikisource must be in the public domain or released under a license compatible with the free content definition. It is the responsibility of the contributor to assert compatibility with Wikisource's license. In the US copyright automatically exists, the question is not "is there evidence that this is indeed copyrighted material?", the question that must always be answered is "where is the evidence that this is NOT copyrighted material?".

Possible Copyright Violation? ”

“ Hey Mackenziemrk, I am glad you have expressed an interest in becoming an admin on WS. As I have not worked with you much yet so give me a couple days to look around and get familiar with your work. JeepdaySock (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2012 (UTC) Looks like you are on the right path but not yet ready for nomination. Having a family member teach you about WS is a great start down the path, now you need to work on creating a stronger edit history for yourself. I am sure you have reviewed Wikisource:Adminship and know that both strength of edit history and variety are important. ”

“ I will use my William Maury Morris II account. But do know this, I have been here a lot longer than 2010! Add these up with that, 2006 works completed. This account (Brother Officer) alone goes back to April 2006 and so does another account of mine, "William Maury Morris" without the "II" so add those two in please for works done and time on WS. I placed several books on WS before I knew about "sock puppets" and I alternated because I was in competition with myself using these two accounts for work done. It is similar to playing chess against yourself when nobody else is around to play chess. ”

“ Final push for the Proofread of the Month... This month's Proofread of the Month, Index:The Pilgrim Cookbook.djvu, is still a ways away from being fully validated. However, we're within striking distance.
If all ten members proofread just two (but preferably three) pages a day, we'll be able to finish the book before the end of the month.
We can do it. :) EVula // talk // 01:21, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Congrats! Congratulations on becoming an administrator! I look forward to dozens of heated arguments in the future as we finally beat the project into an agreed-upon prettier shape. ”

“ If it is images from the EB1911 article that you wish to upload, that is touched on in the EB1911 style manual, however a strict naming convention hasnt been devised, yet. :-) If it is page scans that you want to upload to Commons, please upload complete DJVU files if possible. If you need help setting up a transcription project, ask on the transcription talk page. John Vandenberg (chat) 21:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC) I am thinking about cutting the images out of the TIFF files from User:Tim Starling/ScanSet TIFF demo and loading them to commons for the article Mint. ”

“ Wikisource:Possible_copyright_violations#File:John_Masefield.djvu retains the community consensus of 3 to keep. With yourself thinking more research needs to be conducted and documented first. We have brought attention to the discussion through several edits and no changes of existing votes have occurred, nor has anyone supported your request for more research. ”

“ The section name should reflect those in the original work (Chapter II, Chapter 2, Act 2, et cetera) ." In addition, the cookbooks Many Ways for Cooking Eggs, Made-Over Dishes, 365 foreign dishes, and American Cookery also have unnumbered sections and use the same style I changed The Pilgrim Cook Book to. The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book did have numbered sections and, therefore, uses the Chapter X format. (See Wikisource:Cookbooks.) Psychless 22:16, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Seem like a good idea, took it to Wikisource:Scriptorium#Subpage_title_formats for review. ”

for job well done.

Re: Admin Hey Jeepday,
I will gladly accept a nomination for adminship and want to help. What's the next step? ”

“ No, The pages have been blanked (see Eridu Genesis) while the community discusses (see Wikisource:Possible copyright violations) if they are truly copyright violations. It is important that you only post public domain works as anything else most be removed. If you have any questions you ask at Wikisource:Scriptorium‎ for clarification. Jeepday (talk) 11:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Author:Carl Gustav Jung The listings for this author appear to be misleading. ”

“ Psychless 01:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC) I am glad to present - Wikisource:Administrators#Psychless, Jeepday (talk) 10:26, 8 August 2008 (UTC) Template Copyvio Hello,
You don't need to replace the content with the template "Copyvio". Just add it below the header. Regards, Yann 19:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
WOW, that is cool, I just posted a message over at W:Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems to see if they want to use the same magic over there. Thanks :) Jeepday (talk) 20:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC) Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc/corresponding index Great work! ”
