Welcome

Hello, Donald Trung, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You may be interested in participating in

Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{CotW}} to your page for current wikisource projects.

You can put a brief description of your interests on your user page and contributions to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia and Commons.

Have questions? Then please ask them at either


I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 22:36, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

uploading works

[edit]

the normal process for uploading works is:

  1. scan book as pdf
  2. upload pdf to internet archive https://archive.org/search.php?query=Annam%20and%20its%20minor%20currency
  3. upload file to commons using IAuploader, https://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/ (requires OAuth https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OAuth_Uploader)
  4. create index page at wikisource, for example https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Sun_Tzu_on_The_art_of_war.djvu
  5. create work page with chapter links, with transclusion from pages, for example https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War_(Sun)
Thank you very much. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 09:58, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
yes, IA uploader is buggy and uploads hang when files "are too large". maybe you should open a phabricator ticket. for example https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129071 . Slowking4SvG's revenge 16:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

User is gone

[edit]

There is little point in posting a lengthy discussion to a user who has not edited on Wikisource since 2011. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Pardon, I just wanted to raise privacy concerns. I'm not sure why such sensitive matters can't be discussed with the affected users first before it's posted publicly. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 01:26, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
It's just odd to discuss matters with someone who hasn't been here for seven years. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I didn't want to do it on the concerned wiki because of the Streisand effect, and I don't have e-mail enabled and my e-mail client is broken, but you're absolutely right. -- DonTrung (徵國單)  (討論 🤙🏻) (方孔錢 ☯) 03:14, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Just be aware that he may not see your message, if he has notifications turned off. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:21, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
