Translation from de:Wikisource:Gesprochene Wikisource[edit]

The contents of this new project page is mainly a translation from de:Wikisource:Gesprochene Wikisource, but I have already taken the liberty to adapt some things to our ways, among them:

  • process header,
  • slight reformatting,
  • The German project recommends that every audio file have an introduction and ending credits. I've already softened up that part a little, but it still feels somewhat overregulated to me. We may want to drop it entirely.
  • placement of {{audio file}},
  • categorisation scheme on commons left vague,
  • index left empty (obviously),
  • wishlist description.

Furthermore, the weblinks section is, somewhat confusingly, a subsection of the narrator's how-to. --GrafZahl (talk) 23:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is just for clarification, but the intro and ending credits, would that be like who the reader was, and such like that? I know LibriVox usually has those credits and they ask people to keep them. I'm not sure if we should go through and remove them or not (it would cut loading time for some people and save space--like if they should want to put them on an MP3 player). Maybe external links to LibriVox on each image page on Commons would be enough "credit" given to LB that we could cut the credits? I've got more questions/comments but I need some time to be able to process them.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 19:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible suggestions[edit]

I have yet to look at the Commons category pages, but I know Category:Spoken works is quite jumbled. What if we add another parameter to {{audio file}} where we could specify a sub-category of Spoken works? The subcategory could be the title of the work itself or even a genre/title.

For example, the category on the audio template would be

[[Category:Spoken works/{{{SUBCATEGORY|}}}]]

where {{{SUBCATEGORY}}} could be "Pride and Prejudice" or "Novels/Pride and Prejudice" (to account for the fact that we have many political speechs on WS and maybe to differentiate from spoken poetry).—Zhaladshar (Talk) 19:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
