[edit] Poetlister

Greetings, I admit I'm a little confused why you wouldn't trust Poetlister "to edit a page", when he/she/it has already edited over 2,000 without any problems? I'm of the opinion that off-site drama shouldn't be used to judge people here, your ex-boy/girlfriend may say you're a lying cheat, or you may get fired from your job for stealing company documents - why does that affect Wikisource?

I don't trust Poetlister; nit-picking the exact words I used doesn't change that. (yes, he/she has edited pages before; big friggin' deal, doesn't mean I trust him/her)
Cheating on a significant other is very, very different than the wiki-related shenanigans (for lack of a better phrase) that Poetlister is pretty damningly accused of. Malicious sockpuppetry is hardly "off-site drama". EVula // talk // 19:41, 10 September 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] There is a Cabal

Hey, I'm the local corrupt Administrator who sells votes for work on the Wikisource:Collaboration of the Week, why not take a few minutes of your afternoon and help us out, even suggest a favourite author for our future focus. The idea is that if we all sacrifice five, fifteen or twenty minutes a week to add a text by somebody else's favourite author on WS, then later we all put add texts by your choices, etc. This week we're focusing on Author:John McCrae as we hope to add texts in time for the November 11th Commonwealth Memorial Day to help WikiRadio have texts to read out on-air, and such. Just don't forget to watchlist the author, since we're focusing on "influential" authors as much as possible, it means the more admins watchlisting the author, the better protected it is from vandals in the future as well! I look forward to selling my vote! Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Author:John McCrae 16:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty much crap at finding and collecting materials (I did find a book a couple of weeks ago, but it is currently MIA since I just moved); my strengths lie in proofreading and patrolling. I'd be more than willing to watch over stuff and work my usual cross-wiki magic on stuff, though. :) EVula // talk // 21:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:DJVU page link

Hello,

Most of the time, the page numbers are aligned to the right. It is the first time that I see such a case, with two page numbers on the same line. Actually this template, although quite useful, has some problems. If you use it instead of plain links, colors on page numbers do not appear in the table of contents in the main index page as they do here: Index:Arte or Crafte of Rhethoryke - 1899.djvu. Could it be possible that the alignment parameter is optional, eventually right by default? Yann (talk) 09:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll play around with some code to see if I can make it an all-or-nothing tag (ie: align=no means no div). Even a div with a different alignment would cause it to line break, since divs are block-level elements.
Not sure what you mean by the colors not working; Index:The ransom of Red Chief and other O. Henry stories for boys.djvu uses the template (example) and the colors are fine. EVula // talk // 10:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Posted on Childs History of England talk page

EVula, As requested, I have uploaded pictures of the table from the original first edition book. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Talk:A_Child%27s_History_of_England/Table_of_the_Reigns -Terets

Excellent. I can't do anything with it right this minute, but I'll try to whip something together in the next day or so. EVula // talk // 19:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats!

You are now a sysop.--BirgitteSB 16:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
