Welcome to Wikisource!

Welcome! Thank you for joining Wikisource; we'd love for you to stick around and get more involved. We are a small community of approximately a hundred people, with infinite help from random passers by. You might be wondering which of the two classes we consider you...well, I guess that's going to be up to you.

If you're looking for a specific topic, you'll likely find it by navigating through Wikisource:Works, whether it's Portal:Islam or Portal:Mermaids. For overarching categories, you might be better looking at something like Category:Poems or Category:Novels. Of course, if you know the author's name, that's easiest of all, just plug in "Author:Rudyard Kipling" (or change that name for an author of your choice) and you'll (hopefully) see everything he ever wrote (or was written about him!).

Chances are, you have a favourite subject we don't cover very well...here's how to change that!

So, your favourite author or subject isn't very well represented on the project? Well as long as you make sure the texts fit the standards of Public Domain, you can add them yourself! (Like all rules, those are basic guidelines, if you want to play with exceptions to the rule, just ask any of the administrators for help)

If the text doesn't already exist, just enter its name below and it will pre-load an editing page for you to set to work! Be sure to add {{no header}} to the top of the page, and then include categories so people can find it.


If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religion, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future!

Reading when you want, how you want
Places to go, people to meet

Well, if you've clicked all the way to this tab, you might as well plan on spending a few more hours acquainting yourself with our massive library. It's not perfect, sometimes there's an occasional misspelling or you'll see a text sorted incorrectly. So help us out, let us know, or fix it yourself!

If you're bored and just wanting to grab a mop and bucket, then there are plenty of corners that need tidying. Works that need to be split into chapters, Works that need their licensing clarified, Works that need machine-read words corrected, Works that need page-numbers removed and Authors whose full names we don't know would all be a great place to start!

NYSE Listed Company Manual[edit]

Is NYSE Listed Company Manual a complete work or excerpts from a larger work? We look to host complete work not excerpts or snippets. This is covered at Wikisource:What Wikisource includes. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:02, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I will complete the whole text of it. It is a large work so it will take long time. HappyMidnight (talk) 01:47, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Korea[edit]

Please see this correction. Watch for spaces and use headers, please. Thank you for helping! --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:11, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your advice. I will. HappyMidnight (talk) 04:15, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Laws from non-English speaking countries[edit]

Sources and licenses of their translations, please?

--Jusjih (talk) 01:11, 16 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for late reply. Jusjih. For now I don't remember it. I will tell more case by case soon. HappyMidnight (talk) 01:49, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
If unable to tell by whom, where, and when the translations were made, they have to be deleted.--Jusjih (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
