“ An Act the title of which begins with the words "An Act to " extend and amend the Provisions of," and ends with the words "Presentments and Parochial Assessments." The Public Works (Ireland) Act, 1839. ”

“ Whichever system you use, consistency is the key. My advise is to prepare the necessary tags beforehand. A very handy tool is a spreadsheet with which you can multiply the common elements, and use a separate column alongside for each tag value. Then, export it as a text file and just copy and paste as you create the main namespace headers. Also, add spredsheet columns for the .djvu numbers and the page numbers and record them on the spreadsheet as you go along. From this we can generate a table of contents. ”

“ An Act to exempt Inhabitants of Parishes, Townships, and Villages from Liability to be rated as such, in respect of Stock in Trade or other Property, to the Relief of the Poor. The Poor Rate Exemption Act, 1840. ”

“ Agricultural Rates. Agricultural Rates, Congested Districts, and Burgh Land Tax Relief (Scotland) . Consolidated Fund. Finance. Light Railways. Local Taxation (Ireland) Estate Duty. Naval Works. Public Works Loans. Railways (Ireland) . Telegraph (Money) . Uganda Railway. West Highland Railway Guarantee. Finance:
To grant certain Duties of Customs and Inland Revenue, to alter other Duties, to amend the Law relating to Customs and Inland Revenue, and to make provision for the financial arrangements of the year. ”

“ Deletion proposed as the approach used to generate this is for some reason a layout generation method that is apparently incompatible with the new parser. I'd rather focus on getting stuff that actually DOES work, then trying to maintain or update something that was largely experimental when originally transcluded.
That is unless someone is prepared to fully document how to do the layout for a document like this in a manner that works consistently in both Page namespace and when transcluded in sections, which are needed due to the size of the table (s) when transcluded. ”

“ An Act to enable the Election of Officers of Corporations and other Public Companies now required to be held on the Lord's Day to be held on the Saturday next preceding, or on the Monday next ensuing. ”

“ An Act to amend and render more effectual an Act passed in the Forty-second Year of His present Majesty's Reign, for consolidating the provisions of the several Acts passed for the Redemption and Sale of the Land Tax into one Act. ”

“ An Act to enable the Barry Urban District Council to acquire Cadoxton Common and to maintain and regulate the same to construct new Waterworks to extend the limits of Gas and Water Supply for conferring further powers in relation to Buildings Streets and Sanitary matters for making further and better provision for the improvement health and local government of the District and for other purposes. ”

“ The articles in DMM that contain a score are already categorised, as are the hymns in The Army and Navy Hymnal. "By year" is already available from the header template in the mainspace. "By country" is covered by the work containing the score. "By instrument" would be useful if we were intending to be a major score repository but, with only a few people doing any score work at all, this is somewhat moot. We are not going to be competing with IMSLP as a repository—who do the categorisation stuff well. ”

“ I found a new scan on the Internet Archive (same edition and with both missing pages) and uploaded it to Commons (here) . As far as I know the next step would be to modify/update the Index page with the new scan, but that task is at the moment beyond my knowledge, so I'd like to request help with it. Also I'd like to know if I can continue proofreading with the existing scan or rather wait for the "new" one. Tromaster (talk) 20:55, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
If it's the same book, edition etc. you should upload it over the original existing file on commons. ”

“ Wikisource's desktop view has an additional challenge to the universal one for "margin-management" and, in specific terms, its Dynamic Layouts themselves. Having the content & margins "set" by fixed css values in a three tiered, inter-wrapped, div box-container foundation is seemingly the exact opposite of the sought after 'responsive design' approach needed today to bridge the two views never mind the two namespaces in question. All the other considerations to making side-notes and making many other long desired facets for WS a reality are secondary to one galactic first step. ”

“ Just as importantly, we might not think of notability in the exact same way that Wikipedia does, but if an author is notable, then marginal stuff by them is more likely to provoke interest than better stuff by unknowns. ”

“ As a result, the solutions for proper Page: namespace rendering and main namespace rendering are far from simple template trickery anymore -- though forcing all-right or all-left main space rendering of 'alternating' side-notes dramatically helped us at one point, that too became a moot endeavor (again) with the ever-increasing rise of mobile mode on the scene. The problem boils down to "margin-management". ”

“ As I have put "anchor+" against the alpha-letter AND we can use "compactTOCalpha" to go to an alphabet area, my decision, reluctant as it is, is to ask for a subject breakout. We currently have no way of getting to say the subject of "Meekness" or "Merit", both of which have 2 quotes each versus the subject "Christ" which has 48 pages of quotes. I did put in DJVU page links but see it doesn't transfer to transclusion, which is not a good thing. (There must be a reason why it doesn't; then why have it? Is there not something that does work?) ”

“ An Act for the better Protection of Persons under the Care and Control of others as Apprentices or Servants ; and to enable the Guardians and Overseers of the Poor to institute and conduct Prosecutions in certain Cases. ”

“ Beleg Tâl's remark that the work has had a physical print run is not relevant to the question of self-publication: for example, print-on-demand is very definitely a thing, and according to the Wikipedia article, in POD "Other services may also be available, including formatting, proofreading, and editing", but "POD publishing gives authors editorial independence", i.e. there is not editorial control. This is an academic question, since Waugh is printing as "Carpophage Press", but it shows that physical publication is not relevant. ”

“ Your first stop if you want to learn how to edit Wikisource should be Help:Beginner's guide to Wikisource, and especially if you want to start fresh, Help:Beginner's guide to adding texts. I'd discourage the idea of "delete what's there and start again". A better way would be to start the proofreading process separately, and if your added version is similar enough to the version we've started on, we can merge them. On the other hand, if you have a good reason to get rid of what we've got so far, we can have a discussion. ”

“ These actions on the part of the author improve Wikisource considerably. However, I agree that the work itself must first pass our criteria for inclusion, which would (among other things) disallow using Wikisource as the only third-party platform for self-promotion. If you can get your freely licensed writings published, please feel free to add them to Wikisource!——With regard to the second point, there are two facets to this. If a Wikimedia user is banned at Wikipedia, then we may want to consider restrictions to the user at Wikisource. ”

“ Sorry for not being more clear -- side-notes in mobile mode is untested at best and let us leave it at that; but since the Minerva skin (mobile mode) already does a good job of 'managing-margins' compared to our current desktop view (e.g. has an inconsequential site logo; no left hand sidebar unless called upon & browser window margins shrink & expand according to a foundation based on a rudimentary responsive design by default) , creating a side-notes regime would be rather 'simplistic' to implement in some form or another in mobile mode. ”

“ Also to note that templates have to behave differently in main ns to page ns, and they have different wrapping methods.The sidenotes templates have morphed in their development, and we truly have a mess that needs to be fixed as it is all still problematic, especially where the bleeding mongrels overlap due to page width. Sidnotes are ugly ugly ugly to try and reproduce though they are very useful tool for long works where different points get raised. We need someone really css savvy to help us, and that is a long-standing issue. ”

“ An Act to appoint Commissioners for carrying into Execution several Acts granting on Aid to His Majesty by a Landd Tax to be raised in Great Britain, and continuing to His Majesty certain Duties on Offices and Pensions in England. ”

“ Firstly we don't make "category subpages", categories should just be categories—they stack within a hierarchy. So the process used is problematic.Secondly re listing on author pages. After trials in the early days the community determined that it is our preference to not categorise works by an author, instead we manually curate works as the detail was needed. It also led to a lot of ugly categories. There is a range of scope available to deal with listings through author subpages. ”

“ Either way, ordinary users don't care at all about this template, whether it exists or not. It does not perform any detectable useful function other than massage the egos of the useless amongst us. Am I wrong? ”

“ Note that Waugh's LinkedIn profile lists all his publications under Carpophage Press. Moreover OpenLibrary and WorldCat only have one result for Carpophage Press, a book by Waugh. "Pulchrism" doesn't show up in the LoC. I find it extremely unlikely that Carpophage is anything other than a vanity press run by and for Waugh, providing no peer review or editorial oversight over him. The self-promotion and socking that has gone on only strengthens (although is not the main reason for) this conclusion. ”

“ An Act more effectually to prevent Danger to the Public Health from Places of Burial. The Burial Act, 1859. 22 Vict. c. ll. An Act to enable the Secretary of State in Council of India to raise Money in the United Kingdom for the Service of the Government of India. ”

“ Are they good enough? Why is the caption not centered on p. 2? First assumption—We always proofread captions so they are searchable. Yes? Second assumption (from observation) —We always rotate images that are sideways in a book. Yes? Third assumption—I am following [www.pgdp.org Distributed Proofreaders] practises as much as possible because they are obviously a lot more successful at proofreading; the assumption being their experience is worth transferring to facilitate proofreading. DP moves images to between paragraphs or to the top or bottom of the page. ”

“ This photo has been hosted on Wikisource since 2006, and is used only on the uploader's userpage. The uploader has only ever made two edits on all Wikimedia projects - one to upload the photo and one to create the userpage. Even Commons accepts a small number of personal images for use by users who contribute in some way - is there any reason to keep this photo? It could have been moved to Commons but there is no license. Note: the file was unsuccessfully tagged for speedy deletion a few years ago. ”

“ The solution is not to try to come up with a "one size fits all solution" as that presupposes there is only one proper way of displaying sidenotes. The proper solution is to allow (sophisticated) users to override the dynamic template css definitions. I.e., within the dynamic_layout_overrider tag you should be able to define a custom css definition specifically for that page per Help:Layout#How_to_write_dynamic_layouts. When navigating to the page, dynamic layouts would add the custom layout for that page, and set it as default. ”
