Summary

WikiProject Validate/Noticeboard

“ The reason why I suggested the queues was that the current system of asking for help at the noticeboard is quite chaotic. Having queues does not mean that the first work from the queue has to be chosen. Any work can be chosen and we can suppose that if a validator chooses a work, s/he is also willing to work on it. If somebody wishes to validate something different, s/he simply adds another task from the queue. Maybe we can call them to do lists instead of queues. No matter what their name is, they should definitely be short, slowly moving long lists drive people away. ”

WikiProject Validate/Noticeboard

“ The aim is not QUICK validation, but QUALITY validation. Nobody is perfect and it can happen that the validator does not notice a mistake, but it should happen only very rarely. Check not only typos, but also compliance with Wiksource rules and the way of transcluding into the main namespace. Do not change formatting which is against your preference but not directly against Wikisource rules or at the borderline. One work is often validated by several people with different preferences. ”

WikiProject Validate/Noticeboard

“ I would not be against merging Wikisource:Validation of the Month into this WikiProject, but I do cringe at the idea we will have to accept some of their processes. Just looking at Wikisource:Validation of the Month/validation works for a bit, and I see 62 works have been queued (not counting the queued PSM volumes) . For me, I find just doing one at a time is more than sufficient. We have not completed our featured task yet, but it has been up there since January. That is not to say we are incapable of doing long works ”
