[edit] Congratulations

Happy thousandth edit! :DD // [admin] Pathoschild (^talk/_map) 14:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:D! Thank you, Pathsochilde. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 14:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks will do, I am going to see what else I can find. =)

[edit] Bot question

Hi, Pathoschild says that he thinks you're writing a bot to tag pages without the author or header template. I thought I'd ask you if it'd be possible to expand it to read the dates on author pages & apply the appropriate PD templates like Template:Author-PD-old & Template:Author-PD-old-70 to the relevant author pages. Thanks. AllanHainey 14:57, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll add it to my list of things to check for when I start coding it; it shouldn't be all that difficult. :-) Jude (talk,contribs,email) 21:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ParserFunctions used for section transclusion

Hi. Please take a look at the conclusion of the very long discussion at bug 5881. The result of the discussion was a very short, precise expression of the kind of feature I had such a hard time describing.

Now that the idea itself has been stated clearly, what do you think about possible applications for something like this in Wikisource Bible texts?Dovi 19:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transclusion - previous experience

Hi!

What you suggest (transcluding smaller units into larger ones) is exactly what we've done for small portions of the Bible in Hebrew Wikisource. There, we are building what is traditionally called Mikraot Gedolot (see Wikipedia article), which is a collection of multiple versions and commentaries on each and every verse.

So far, Jonah is complete (done entirely by User:Nevuchadnezzar and worth taking a look at how the transclusion was done), and Lamentations is about 1/3 done.Scattered verses from other books have also been contributed.

By doing transclusions of the individual units, we are able to create both pages with selections of versions and commentaries for individual units (similar to what is being done here with Obadiah) and also pages with full versions of text or commentary by transcluding the smaller units.

So we have a good amount of experience doing this. Our experience can basically be summed up with three results:

• This works. It absolutely does.
• This is extremely hard, and involves hundreds or even thousands (no exaggeration) of manual actions finish even a small portion of text.
• For the complete Bible, this method would involve cluttering either the template namespace or the main namespace with literally hundreds of thousands (also no exaggeration) of individual pages, each with a tiny amount of text. Myself and others at he: have even mentioned creating a special namespace for them (perhaps it might be called the "Passage:" namespace in English, for each individual passage in a text).

Having what is intuitively the opposite function as in my proposal (i.e. putting the entire version of a book on one page with invisible markers, and transcluding portions of it in relevant places) would be much more feasible and far less messy. Dovi 11:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] --

You might want to consider making the conversions to em-dashes while you are working on the ED poems. I miss IRC.--BirgitteSB 01:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes I meant converting the titles as well, which would meaning moving and replacing with soft redirects. It is not imperative by any means, but I have always approached things by doing everything you can with the paper in your hand rather rotating it from one task pile to another.--BirgitteSB 01:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

You understand the technicalities better than me, so do whatever is easiest for you. It is certainly not the most important thing, so feel free to put it off it addes another step to your process. Although I would prefer if you avoided html and used —, I think it is an emdash anyways.--BirgitteSB 01:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

That really fast 400 alredat :) I don't know why I was not using relative links on Workd English. Sleep deprivation? I was wondering if you could run a query on all title that have ": Chapter" "- Chapter" "-Chapter" and also 'Book' and 'Part'. Then compare it against everything in the category for soft redirects and post a list of what is left. If we could get those titles we could know these page moves out.--BirgitteSB 13:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for fixing my Wikiproject page.--BirgitteSB 13:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Anglo-Saxon reader

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad the reader is being noticed. --Saforrest 19:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

That is great! I am glad there is and easier way to do it. Now we must find how many more need to be moved.--BirgitteSB 13:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Since you asked. . . The Rig Veda ;) But seriously, I made a list at User:BirgitteSB/Page Moves.--BirgitteSB 15:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regex

Hi, Jude,

I've got a question for you which does not have to be done any time soon. But if Xenophon can do regex, would it be possible for you at some point to scan WS and change symbols from the "&####;" notation to the actual symbol? Again, this isn't a pressing concern, but I cannot stand the HTML notation, but it takes forever to manually change it all.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 17:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UN Security Council Resolutions

Hi. In response to your bot-made page moves of UN Security Council Resolutions, I would like to remind that plural is used at Wikisource:UN Security Council Resolutions while "UN Security Council Resolution" is singular, so there are now too many broken links.--Jusjih 02:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

You have done a great job. Converting to subpages allows me to add headers much faster and easier.--Jusjih 20:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

One more thing: if your bot can spot any internal links among UN Security Council Resolutions, please change them as well, such as from 26 to 88.--Jusjih 20:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

In addition to UN Security Council Resolutions, do you consider that UN General Assembly Resolutions should be renamed in a similar way?--Jusjih 01:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I have thought of an advantage and an disadvantage of renaming UN resolutions. The advantage is allowing subpage linking and simplified links. The disadvantage is the need to update many interlanguage and cross-project (like with Wikipedia) links. For long term, I support renaming UN General Assembly Resolutions, but we should probably post this at the Scriptorium. As I go through the UN resolutions in English, French, and Chinese, I will update links to English pages as well.--Jusjih 02:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

WS:COPYVIO has a very important discovery that UN resolutions are in the public domain. As I am undeleting deleted UN resolutions after months of turmoil, could you please move the undeleted UN Security Council Resolutions to newly formatted subpages?--Jusjih 17:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move - Doctrine and Covenants

Hi - I noticed that you moved all of the D&C links of the form (D&C X) to (Section X). I was just wondering why you did that - it makes linking using {{w:sourcetext}} on the English wikipedia not as useful since it puts the reference as Section X rather than the common (and widely used citation of) D&C X - I know one can use the "showsource=y" parameter to have it put out "Doctrine and Covenants, Section X" but that is not the normal usage. thx Trödel 20:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I remember you moving them to D&C at my request - but I didn't realize that someone asked them to be moved to Section x. I guess it doesn't matter since the template works. and thx for doing all that work - Trödel 00:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your signature

I was looking at a diff in the Village pump and noticed that your signature is very long, and makes some diffs a little bit more difficult to read. Can you put a whitespace somewhere in it? (maybe between "Special:Contributions/Bookofjude" and "|contribs", that should not change how the signature looks). /81.229.37.13 08:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome and Bible

Thank you for the welcome and I am more than happy to help where I can. —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

[edit] Please do!

Please do! I was only working on that because I didn't know another way, I was thinking, man, there must be a bot that can finish this work for me... Thanks!

[edit] soft redirect script

Hi, Jude,

I for some reason can't get it to work in FireFox. Not only does nothing show up, but in my edit screen, the links to add the author and header templates no longer show up. Do you know what's wrong?—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 13:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. If you can email me the Pywikipedia script, that would be great. - Politicaljunkie 19:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bible, World English

I have added some of the extra books that are PD, so if you want to do your magic on the {{Biblecontents}} that would be great! —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

[edit] Addition to template:unlinked

Thanks for the addition. That was a great idea. - illy 16:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Psalms

I'm not interested in creating new accounts for places where I never post. You can talk to be on wikitionary here.

I notice you seem to be the one most interested in the KJV text. Psalms is not divided into chapters, but rather, individual psalms. It is not Chapter 23, but Psalm 23. A niggle, but a a real one.

[edit] formatting for mass page moves

Hi, Jude. Here's the message I promised.

For the Rig Veda, Mandalas 1-4 are moved over, meaning 5-10 still have work. For these Mandalas, the current page format is this: The Rig Veda/Hymn #/#. The new format should be The Rig Veda/Mandala #/Hymn #. For example, from Mandala 7 the first three pages are

1. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/1
2. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/2
3. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/3.

They should be

1. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 1
2. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 2
3. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 3.

Thanks!—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 03:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

I got kicked, too. I just relogged on, though. It should be working.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 02:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the PDF Help

Just FYI, I took the data over to Substitution for the Testimony of KSM and applied minor formatting, I'll probably try to wikify it a bit over the next few days - appreciate the help, was that the ABBYY program or the other one? I might look for a free trial myself. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (CRIMINALS ARE MADE, NOT BORN)} 04:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Permanent Revolution

Can covert the custom headers here to the standard one? Thanks!--BirgitteSB 02:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gandhi

If you go to The Story of My Experiments with Truth/Part IV/Treatment of Pleurisy and click on the next piece (The Story of My Experiments with Truth/Part IV/Homeward), you will see that it is a redirect to the Book II chapter with the same name. Is there no Book IV chapter called "Homeward"? I can't seem to find it in the History. Danny 11:20, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Directional Arrows For Presidential Proclamations

Hi,

I know for the Rig Veda headers, you had added the directional arrows. I just uploaded some presidential proclamations at Author:William Jefferson Clinton/Presidential Proclamations, Author:George W. Bush/Presidential Proclamations, Author:George Herbert Walker Bush/Presidential Proclamations, Author:Ronald Reagan/Presidential Proclamations, and Author:Jimmy Carter/Presidential Proclamations and was wondering if you could add arrows to the backlinks. Thanks.

[edit] Free Bible

Hello, Jude,

I see that you visited the Free Bible project and are pretty active on other pages.

I'd like to invite you to join the Free Bible project!

The idea, as I envision it, is to have a bible translation that always "in process" like a wiki entry.

Could you translate a book, maybe?
