[edit] Wikification
- Could you check out my user page and let me know what you think about that sort of setup compared to "Fuzzy-Wuzzy". I feel this set-up would answer objections, but do you feel it is an appropriate way display poetry? Will it become to cumbersome with longer works? It is not a great deal more efffort and by using templates there is an extra line of security for the proofread and formatted text.--BirgitteSB 16:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A Dialect of Donegal
Have you seen the new Proofread page extension and how it works?
- Help:Side by side image view for proofreading
- An example (in progress) Index:The How and Why Library
You may find it is a better way to proofread. Plus it allows you upload a single pdf or djvu file to Commons instead of doing every image separately.--BirgitteSB 18:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- You're right (unless you have some software I don't), you would still have to upload individually.--BirgitteSB 19:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Lord's Prayer
I was doing a bit of patrolling when I noticed that you had changed someone else's changes back to a more traditional reading. I really don't know whether the previous version was valid, but it did seem plausible and modern. Can someone enlighten an atheist like me about the status of the situation?

- Well, the biggest problem was that he changed the version labeled "From the Book of Common Prayer" to a version that isn't from the Book of Common Prayer. Also, while some of his changes reflect genuine variants ("forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us" and "lead us not into the time of trial" are actually used in some churches), others were just nonsense ("give us to thee our daily bread", "as we forgive each other who sins against us"). And then he added a poem at the end ("Let all the people sing Amen") which may or may not be genuine (I've never heard it, but then I've never heard lots of things), but certainly isn't the Lord's Prayer. At any rate, the edits may have been in good faith (which is why I reverted with "rv" and not "rvv"), but were definitely not an improvement. Angr/Talk 07:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Collaboration project
fyi, We are collaborating on Author:George W. Bush this week. It would be great if you can help, even if it is only proofreading a small document like Page:Bush 1974 Tender of Resignation.png, or noting an important work that we should obtain and transcribe.

[edit] Author:Civilla D. Martin
The change of the initial is a part of logically dividing the Category:Authors-M so that it will have a more manageable size (less than 200). I realize that this changes the Author-indexes, but these suffer so much from a lack of maintenance that they should probably all be deleted anyway. I changed the pages for all the "Ma" pages and about 30 weren't on the author indexes at all. Eclecticology (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. Angr 23:22, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Congrats!
You now are a sysop. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck--BirgitteSB 03:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank-you spam
Thank you for supporting me for adminship. :) I'll try to make you glad you did it. So here's a belated Nadezhda "Harry S. Truman" Durova campaign song. All the best, Durova (talk) 05:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] text width
On Wikisource:Scriptorium#Hard-coded font faces I mention how to hard-code the text width as being a certain percentage of the available space. Hope that helps. --DavidCary (talk) 12:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for showing me how! I tried making the margins wider so the text is easier to read (it's difficult to follow text when the lines are too long). Angr 18:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's looking fine, and within what I would consider acceptable parameters. While I might feel differently about exactly how much of the screen's width should be text and how much should be margins, this is mostly an editorial decision best left to the discretion of the person doing the hard work.
