Page (servant)

“ The position of the page on the paper should be considered if the book is to have a satisfactory look. Here once more the almost invariable modern practice is in opposition to a natural sense of proportion. From the time when books first took their present shape till the end of the sixteenth century, or indeed later, the page so lay on the paper that there was more space allowed to the bottom and fore margin than to the top and back of the paper, thus:
the unit of the book being looked on as the two pages forming an opening. ”

“ While most authors will have just a few letters, and therefore the list of works in the Author Page will be short, others will have dozens, and Swift will have hundreds. When there are so many, do we still want them all to show on the Author Page? Or should a separate page be created to contain the list? And if so, how do I create that separate page? ”

“ The Editorial Pages.—In periodicals, editorial pages are treated variously. There is no standard style such as is found in most newspapers. All five editorial pages reproduced here, in make-up and typographic treatment, differ from one another.
The Ladies’ Home Journal (Example 417) has the title of each editorial in a small rule panel along with the publication’s trademark, and the matter is set in two wide columns. The first clause beginning each editorial is composed in capitals and small capitals. The page is surrounded by a double-line border. ”

“ Can we start with what are our principles for siting our reproduction, and then we align from there.To me a series page belong in portals, if a volume is part of a series, and exists in our space, then we can throw in a redirect. That an editor reinvigorates a work and includes it in their series is neither here nor there, it is an edition of a work unless you can find some other reason to place it as a subpage, ie. first time brought into publishing world in a language, or the works translators and some other special curatorial aspects. ”

“ I have no valet!"
"I mean your body servant, your butler"—explained Miss Jemima. "I have been much impressed by him."
"George!—George Washington?—you mean George Washington! No, madam, he has not a particle of intelligence.—He is grossly and densely stupid. I have never in fifty years been able to get an idea into his head."
"Oh, dear! and I thought him so clever! I was wondering how so intelligent a person, so well informed, could be a slave." ”

“ A short word divided by a hyphen at the end of a line should not be divided between two pages. A little respacing of the bottom line of one page and the top line of the next will usually overcome a division of this sort.
In book work, the first page of the preface, introduction, table of contents, and of each chapter should be sunk uniformly about one-sixth of the distance down from the top of a full-length page. This space may be varied in different books according to choice, but the sinkage should be the same throughout any one book. These pages are always on the first side of a leaf. ”

“ 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. ”

“ Minor elements of the page may contribute beauty or ugliness according to their handling: the headline and page number, their character and position; notes marginal or indented, footnotes; chapter headings and initials; catch-words; borders, head and tail pieces, vignettes, ornamental rules. Even the spacing of initials is a task for the skilled craftsman. Some printers go so far as to miter or shave the type-body of initials to make them, when printed, seem to cling more closely to the following text. Indenting, above all in poetry, is a feature strongly affecting the beauty of the page. ”

“ Other copy for the editorial page—letters to the editor, communications, verse, comments from other newspapers, and the like—is prepared by his assistants. “Editing” copy means preparing it for the compositor, putting it in the exact language in which it is to be printed.
Systematic, careful revision of all copy is necessary not alone to correct error of fact, of judgment, of good taste, but also to regulate the volume of matter. The notion that newspapers print articles “just to fill up” is as absurd as the intimation that they “print anything they can get.” ”

“ We think of the Herald as an eight page paper. That’s true, but four of the pages are printed at Cranston by the Globe Printing Company with our serial story, pictures of news of the world, fashion and menu suggestions and world news in general on them. We seldom if ever put ads on our front page and that leaves only three pages for which we can sell ads and on which we must earn enough to pay expenses, keep the family going and build up a surplus to take care of Dad when he needs more money. ”

“ The housewife is suddenly taken ill, a servant without warning leaves, company unexpectedly comes, stoves are to be put up, yards are to be cleaned, gardens dug, snow shoveled, clothes washed, and a hundred other things done requiring short service only. ”

“ Our problem is that we are a small project team with a huge project: 63 volumes, 29,000+ articles, 25,000+ pages. We are working on articles in order of importance rather than front-to-back. But what should we tell a reader to do if we have not yet transcribed the article the reader is looking for? Well, I unilaterally decided to pierce the namespace boundary by providing a "source cescription page" for each volume. ”

“ She was not spared to see her son grow up—even in his boyhood he was motherless—but before she passed away she solemnly left him to the care of his father and the pastor of their church, to be trained up like Samuel as a servant of God, and as her natural and devout ambition was that he might one day become a minister she made them promise that they would in every possible way encourage and help her boy to that end. ”

“ Where image positioning is problematic, especially due to publisher siting the image for convenience of publication, rather than flow of the work and as the author presumably envisaged, I would wrap the image on the image page with , then at an appropriate place within the text. ”

“ Pages generated by searches and so are more powerful, making them is very likely to redundant to the largest document arranged by subject, replete with overlays of redirects, dabs, portals, infoboxes, and everything else. If any references here are notable, i.e., worth creating a page for, it should be noted there. Put another way: Pages here would be the target, the end of a path, the important links here, the library, are the Authors and their references to other Titles. Do we make pages for every conceivable subject, biographical in this example, and link everything to everything? ”

“ The pages that contain little or no live news matter are made up as far as possible in advance of the first edition of the paper so that they will be out of the way when the news pages are to be arranged. The editorial page, and special pages such as the woman’s page, the theatrical page, the continued story or feature page, can usually be made up, stereotyped, and put on the press ready for printing before the news pages are made up. ”

“ Suppose we have a manuscript of 90,000 words, with 24 chapters: A type page of 280 words gives us 322 pages, to which we add 8 pages for front and 12 pages for chapter sinkages, giving us a volume of about 344 pages. As the presswork is usually done in forms of 32 pages, an effort is always made not to exceed even forms by a small number of pages. Striking out the bastard-title will often save a form of press-work. ”

“ I want to propose a variant of Jude's template. —Antireconciler 18:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC) Poll I'd vote for Pathoschild's my template, of course. ;) An author page is essentially an index of works by a given author, and is integrated into the larger Index. It shouldn't be formatted in a drastically different way than the overall Index or the index of fiction. My proposal natively integrates the standard {{header}}, and shifts the focus from the authors themselves to their works, much as the emphasis in the index of fiction is fictional works, not fiction itself. ”

“ Where articles are transcluded, you can get to the page from the article (either directly by clicking in the margin, or by editing the article, depending on transclusion method. With page numbers to 'bracket', bisecting the range gets you there quite quickly. We are though moving to ability to look up. Author subpage listings should have the page number in the original volume added, and knowing the "offset" you can go to the exact page directly. (I have been lent a handbook, but unfortunately it is based on the 22-volume edition so I can go directly, but at the cost of some mental arithmetic.) ”

“ I see that this is in Not Proofread status, but why is this then a good example?
But I have a much bigger question. I can see how to create labels for each section (whether it be a chapter, letter, or other type of section) . I can see where the labels and the end mark (####) go in the pages. But how do I then create the section itself? I see how the format of the header for the page works. For example, I can see the way you prepared one of the letters in the Letters of Jonathan Swift that I've been working on. ”

“ Two indexes in the print version: individuals discussed in entries; topics. Clicking on any link (except User’s Guide) on the home page will connect to a screen that allows users to browse a list of contents or index of topics or to perform a keyword search of the entire document, text only, or bibliography. Results are ranked by relevance and cannot be sorted; entries can be printed using a Web browser’s print function. Entries added in the online version can be most readily identified by using a browser’s find function to search for “online” in the list of contents. Reviews: (first ed.) ”

“ To try starting a page from scratch, try Index:Tales from old Japanese dramas (1915) .djvu; click on one of the un-highlighted page numbers. The goal is, again, to edit the text to match the page scan. When you are done in either case, set the page status to proofread (yellow) with the radio buttons at the bottom of the screen and save the page. Look at Help:Proofread for some more instructions. If you want to start your own work: you need to upload a scan to Wikimedia Commons and start a new index page for it (see Help:Beginner's guide to Index: files for that) . ”

“ As that page is reserved for "behind-the-scenes" editorial discussion— something that users who want the bibliographic information shouldn't be shown or bothered with. I propose adding an optional appendage to the header (or even a separate template at the foot of the document) which can give concise information regarding the text being read. Such as: original publication, publication Wikisource text is based off, text quality/progress, notes, etc. A rough sketch of what I had in mind can be found on my development page on Wikipedia. ”

“ Not quite in the same class as a forgery, a quaint and equally difficult sister art has gradually sprung into existence, called the facsimile page. Not that I mean to imply that the making of such pages [Pg 131] is always done with an intent to deceive. There is a concern in London which supplies missing pages on order for any book you may have—a business that is done quite openly. Suppose you own a copy of the first edition of one of Shakespeare’s folios, in which either the title or last leaf is missing. ”

“ I intend to start with the index for volume 1, and use it as an experiment. My approach will be to first proofread the scanned pages in page space, and then create an "article" in article space, just as we do with biographical articles. There are two major differences:
There are a huge number of mainspace links (i.e., one per line!) There are a huge number of pagespace links (i.e., also one per line.) I intend to link to the resulting "article" from the volume page. The intent is to give readers access to the raw images for articles that we have not yet converted. ”

“ For letter writing ruled paper is rarely used, except by children. In writing for the press, no other is so convenient. A page of ruled lines to slip beneath, is indispensable to those who cannot otherwise write straight. They are to be had for a few cents at every stationer’s. It is well to get three different sizes. If you write a small hand, the lines should be closer together than if your writing is large. If you are addressing a friend and have much to say, and expect 153to fill the sheet, begin very near the top of the first page. ”

“ Let any honest reader shut his eyes for a few moments, and approaching the secret tribunal of his soul, ask himself whether he would really rather be asked in the next two hours to write the front page of the Times, which is full of long leading articles, or the front page of Tit-Bits, which is full of short jokes. ”

“ When these 'original navigational pages' are transcluded into their Index's page they provide a guide to the existing and paginated links. A long way of describing something that becomes a simple way of enhancing a work in mainspace, I see many advantages to readers and contributors and little possibility of confusion or misdirection. I don't see how cross namepace links are useful for these pages when they are: Page: -> Page: Index: -> Page: (tranclusion) Main: -> Page: (makes me dizzy too) What is the advantage of adding namespace switching links in the Page:namespace? ”
