Hello Kathleen.wright5, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

You'll find an (incomplete) index of our works listed at Wikisource:Works, although for very broad categories like poetry you may wish to look at the categories like Category:Poems instead.

Please take a glance at our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). Most questions and discussions about the community are in the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 13:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kathleen, it's nice to put a name to all the good edits, and it is great to see renewed interest in the Easton's project. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 09:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Questions

Hi,

Yes, I'd send the former to WS:DEL, since the proofs for God's existence are definitely part of the Pensees; there's no need to have them on another page.

And in response to your first question, all a bureaucrat does is make users into sysops/bureaucrats, rename users, and assign bot flags to accounts.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 17:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Dead sea scrolls

That's a tricky one. I'd say remove all the Korean text and then clean up the English text so that it looks like just one document. Right now, it looks like it's got both a Korean and an English translation. Of course, I have no idea how accurate the document will be without the Korean text (maybe the Korean contains portions of the scroll that isn't in English yet).—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 13:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Categories

Hi,

I disagree with the way you are tagging and categorising subpages.

Firstly, I don't agree with adding {{PD-old}} to subpages like Flora Australiensis/Volume V/Addendum; it suffices to template Flora Australiensis and leave it at that.

Secondly, here you add Category:Incomplete texts without a source to Flora Australiensis/Volume V/Addendum. The entire text may be incomplete, but that subpage is complete. Either you're marking the entire text as incomplete, in which case marking Flora Australiensis/Volume 5 suffices; or you're marking that particular subpage as incomplete, in which case you are wrong. I can't see any merit in marking incomplete every single subpage of an incomplete text, even the complete ones. All that does is overpopulate the category, thus obfuscating what is complete and what is not.

Template messages

Hi Kat! I see you've worked extensively at cleaning up Wikisource:Template messages. I'd suggest including a small description after each template link (at least for the licensing templates), so users don't have to access all those pages looking for the right template. I've been on here for 6 months, and I don't know any templates memory besides PD-old and PD-70! :) Thanks, - Mtmelendez 17:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

{{PD-old}}

Hello,

Could you please replace {{PD-old}} by {{PD-1923}} instead of removing the template? Thanks, Yann 07:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your answer. I have asked Hesperian some precisions about this. Thanks, Yann 10:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

great work

You are doing a great job. If you do some work on proofreading, such as WS:PotM, I reckon you are ready to be given the mop around here. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 23:47, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

No worries. We need more admins! hint, hint :-) John Vandenberg ^(chat) 12:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

You are doing a great job, and I can understand that you want to finish that task before moving on to another. I have commented on PG-au. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 12:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

categorizing subpages

Hi,

I noticed you've been categorizing subpages of Discoveries in Australia. However, convention is not to categorize these pages because they "inherit" the property from the parent page. And it also keeps the categories cleaner because most people won't be searching for when chapter 3 of volume 1 of a work was published, but rather when the actual work itself was.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 14:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

You are still adding categories to sup-pages, like The suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 23. We do not categorise subpages unless the category doesnt apply to the entire work. It is very very rare that we want pages containing a "/" to have a category. Please discuss if you are unsure. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 13:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

In addition to rolling back your changes to these to sets of subpages, I have deleted Category:Discoveries in Australia and Category:Two expeditions into the interior of Southern Australia as we dont create categories to contain all pages within a work, except in rare situations such as Encyclopedia. Also, all subpages can be reached via Prefixindex; e.g. Special:Prefixindex/Two expeditions into the interior of Southern Australia.

Also I've commented at Talk:Transwiki:Constitution of Republika Srpska.

Finally, I see you have been doing a lot of repetitive work, like removing PD-old from pages that didnt need it. We have bots that can do this very quickly; feel free to make requests at WS:BOTR. If it is too hard to a bot to do, we will simply say so.

I've gone back through most of your contributions, and they are looking good except the ones I have reverted. I tried to be careful not to remove good edits that were intermingled with the additions of the cats. You've been doing a great job, and I am sorry we havent more documentation in place to assist new users like yourself who ramp up quickly into administration type edits. I hope you are not discouraged by this. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 14:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted this, as that page is a subpage, and shouldnt be categorised into Category:2004 works as the entire work was published in 2004. CIA World Fact Book, 2004 is already in Category:2004 works. --John Vandenberg ^(chat) 00:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

proofreading

Good to see you have started on the proofreading, with gusto. Please see Index talk:Wind in the Willows (1913).djvu, esp. in regards to replacing the single quotes with double quotes. If you are unsure on anything, ask on that talk page. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 11:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

But please dont worry about correcting the pages you have already done. Someone else will need to verify them, and the quotes can be fixed then. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 11:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

EBD Articles

Take a look at this:

• EBD A-Az articles: Content & Headings
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/A-Az

I think all we have to do is intercut the content with the headers, paste them into pages, and add more links if you want. What to do think? --Carlaude 00:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• EBD Articles without Headings
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/B-D
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/E-I
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/J-L
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/M-Z

• EBD Article Headings
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/B-D headers
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/E-I headers
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/J-L headers
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/M-Z headers

Brundtland Report

Hello,

Why did you remove the Category:United Nations from this work? I don't see the point of having Category:Reports by the World Commission on Environment and Development, as this commission has only published one report, and doesn't exist anymore. Regards, Yann 10:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, also for proofreading this work. It is in my TODO list for a long time... Yann 10:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Index:Goody Two-Shoes (1881).djvu

Thanks for proofreading some of the pages, ut there is a problem. As you saw, I marked some of them as problematic. This is because in words like "muft" (must) there is in f, instead of the correct ſ (long s). diego_pmc 05:57, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

redundant pages

You deleted On the Westminster Confession of Faith as redundant; which page is it redundant to? I cant see the duplicate.

See also Wikisource:Scriptorium#CSD_G4 where I am proposing that G4 be dropped from our CSD list. I've been meaning to propose this for a while; your use of it only reminded me to do so. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 05:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

OK. Great detective work! Should Westminster Confession of Faith be mentioned on Author:Archibald Alexander Hodge ? John Vandenberg ^(chat) 05:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

In regards to Statute of Anne, I have restored it and explain myself here. Again, great sleuthing finding these dups; it shows how important it is that we add works into year based categories. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 01:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

PD-India + PD-old

Hello,

Why do you think it necessary to have both templates PD-India + PD-old? [1] It seems that PD-India is redondant here. Yann 23:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

use page image

Hi, Pages that transclude the {{use page image}} template are problematic by definition; it is an error to validate them. Hesperian 23:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Rampa Story

Don't suppose I can convince you to split? :) Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:Charles Spurgeon} 07:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Alright, the splitting is fairly easy, just make a list at the top reading *[[/Chapter I|Chapter I]] (The / means it will create as a sub-page), then click it to copy/paste in the text from the main page. Once all is done, you'll eventually want a header on each page as well. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:Charles Spurgeon} 17:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Template

I create {{Blockeduser}}. Feel free to tweak it as is needed. --Sunstar NW XP 14:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

nb: this is at {{blocked user}} now; Cheers, Jack Merridew 08:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Speeches

There is a discussion at Wikisource:Possible copyright violations#Template:PD-manifesto about the use of {{PD-manifesto}} on speeches.--BirgitteSB 17:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

'populate' and DNB

Hi Kathleen. With the DNB project we are currently creating the corresponding author pages and will be adding the relevant biographies and listing them on these Author pages once they are transcribed. If you see Category:Contributors to DNB this is an indicator that we will populate these pages when the transcription is done. It may save a little effort on your behalf --billinghurst (talk) 00:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou. Hesperian 05:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Propaganda

Gday. You had a play with Propaganda after it was uploaded. I was looking at it and wondered whether it may be {{copyvio}}. Author died 1995 and it was written 1928. Do you know anything about it? Its copyright status? Or were you just passing? -- billinghurst (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Didn't want to tread somewhere if a fellow admin knew something. I have asked on the user's talk page about their knowledge of the work. -- billinghurst (talk) 13:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

proofreading

hello Kathleen,

thank you for your work on Occult Japan. Just a small remark : before you mark a page as proofread, please also correct its formatting (paragraphs, etc), not just the text itself : http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:Occult_Japan_-_Lovell.djvu/18&oldid=1171009

ThomasV (talk) 13:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Flecker

Cheers for validating the Flecker pages. I see single and double spacing between the paragraphs in the intro, but I put off deciding what do about that. Cygnis insignis (talk) 15:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for proofing

Thanks for proofreading Inge's The Victorian Age. I thought it a nice read. If you have a small proofing project you would like done, let me know. --Mkoyle (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

The Jewish Manual

A job well done! --Eliyak T·C 00:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

EBD links

I have been working on EBD – Copying pages from Christ Notes and pasting them in; then putting in appropriate links to other EBD articles.

I saw that the scripture references in some of the articles are linked to the Book of the Bible from which they come. This to me seems not very useful, so I have not been doing it. If we could link them to the actual verses in some WS Bible it would be grand, but I don’t see how at this time. --MathMan64 (talk) 19:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

South Australia Proclamation & Marble Hill

Thank you Kathleen for the South Australia Proclamation Founding Document work you have done. I invite you to review the former summer Vice Regal Residence Marble Hill Discussion webpage as I'd appreciate your constructive comment.Mifren (talk) 13:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

A note about Validation month,

To let you know that an edit of yours completed the first validation of a work for the month. So now I have had the joy of needing to edit the script to +1 / -1 from the rotation, and it is only early on 3 Nov. Congrats! billinghurst (talk) 15:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

And another! 2 from 2. billinghurst (talk) 01:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

You do know that I have this mental image of you dancing through a field of Index: pages, with your little wand, tapping on Page: after Page: bringing little blossoms of validation. Hi by the way. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:26, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

THAT was beautiful!—and so true! Best thing I've read all day! Londonjackbooks (talk) 02:29, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Olney Hymns

Before you devote too much time formatting this work, it might interest you to know that it already exists at Olney Hymns. I contributed the Cowper hymns. I don't why somebody added the djvu pages. ResScholar (talk) 04:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Diacritic templates

You have broken every one of those templates by inserting a carriage return before the noinclude. Hesperian 14:39, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Ta. Hesperian 23:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Template:DNB01

Hi, time permitting...was hoping you could revise the DNB01 template to include the documentation found on Template:DNB01/doc to help explain the process to the newbies. Thanks in advance. JamAKiska (talk) 00:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks...that would have taken me a while. Comparing this presentation Crawley, Richard (DNB01) to this one Baker, Geoffrey (DNB00), could you modify the DNB01 template to mirror the linking attributes that DNB00 possesses? Specifically not have the Wiki link default to on with no name, include a volume identification, and ensure the lateral links work? Again, time permitting...thank-you. JamAKiska (talk) 03:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC) Appreciate the help...Charles picked up at the point you indicated...JamAKiska (talk)

year parameter in header

Did you enjoy Mrs Caudle's curtain lectures?

It was a weird little work to put together and throw the images in. Once we have it complete, I would like to nominate it for Wikisource:Featured text candidates. — billinghurst sDrewth 17:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

What a bloody marvellous effort on the little works! Congrats. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:58, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Index:Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922).djvu

Thanks for your work on this! This one is a twofer - as the sections are finished, we're also copying them into corresponding theme articles on Wikiquote (see, e.g. Flowers). Cheers! BD2412 T 16:06, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Userboxes

As you probably noticed, I've moved any non-wikisource-relevant userboxes into the User: namespace, including three into yours. I took the liberty of replacing them on your user page to avoid giving you a set of red links. I hope that's OK, sorry for the intrusion. Inductiveload—talk/contribs 03:04, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Index:Views in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Northamptonshire.djvu

Would you be so kind to stomp out the few remaining pages. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Someone has made a grab for your crown of the finisher! It's completed. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Page:Gertie's sun flower.djvu/9

Thank you for validating Gertie's sun flower. I noticed that you've marked this page as having a problem; currently I've used {{float left}} and {{float right}} for the flowers along the border, which, when viewed side by side with the scan, pushes the text below the flowers. However, in the work, the spacing appears to be enough to allow them all to fit somewhat nicely. It only drops them if I reduce my browser size by roughly 30%. If this is the problem you see, do you think I should reduce the size of the images? - Theornamentalist (talk) 20:34, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Image in 1901 Supplement volume 1.

Removed text as was able to find way to display the image of George Smith. Please take another look. To me, the image speaks for itself. Thanks for your help…JamAKiska (talk) 16:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

proofreading

The page title and number are not left on the page [2], please find out about {{Running header}} and what the [+] button does. There seem to be several standard practices that you are unaware of, if you use a watchlist you will have seen many comments on what you missed.

Secondly, while I am here, when I mark a page as problematic it is for a reason. Please don't mark pages as proofread unless the problem is resolved. cygnis insignis 06:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Horse shoes and horse shoeing

dear Kathleen, first of all THANKS for your interest about Index:Horse shoes and horse shoeing.djvu! But I've bad news... the djvu I chose is faulty. Page 17 (original "paper" number) is lacking. I'm thinking about the best fixing strategy; I hate to ask for the help of a sysop, to help me into the tedious work of moving pages to align them to the new djvu file I'll upload; so I presume that at end I'll simply move texts of the pages.... perhaps wasting your validations! So, I can't promise that your work will not be wasted; feel free to slow down your validation work, or to stop it at all and to move to other, better books uploaded by a more careful user. :-(

Thanks again. --Alex brollo (talk) 08:05, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Proofread pages have been aligned with new djvu file. I moved texts manually into the right pages. I apologyze for the fact that your validation - while is saved into pages history - is no more the last contribution. :-(

"Red pages" will be deleted (they only contain the OCR text layer, it will be re-uploaded as soon as they will be created again) --Alex brollo (talk) 09:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

All's OK, I fixed page 429. Do you know that you can paste and copy text layer from djvu file? I did so - since I can't upload djvu text layer into an existing page. :-) --Alex brollo (talk) 16:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

All were taken from [WikiCommons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Carson_Cistulli].--193.251.43.248 00:42, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

So, could you please restore this page, it was an enormous task to make.--193.251.43.248 00:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Looking at what you have posted and to what you linked, my comment would be

• That it is at archive.org does automatically not put it into the public domain, there is no clear statement on the publication that it is within the public domain.
• It would need a clear statement from the copyright holder to be hosted, and that should be undertaken for the file at Commons (and those files are now so annotated).
• please demonstrate how the work fits within Wikisource:What Wikisource includes, to me it seems borderline that it would meet that criteria as it would seem to be a self-published newsletter, rather than some work that has had a level of peer review.

— billinghurst sDrewth 02:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi billinghurst,

First thank you for your interest and willingness to help out in this project. It's possible that I've made a mistake, here's what I'm seeing: I found these in wikicommons and on the wikicommons page for each of these it says that there is a "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license" attached, hence that one is free "to share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work", in double checking this at the original page archive.org I see something similar -- In "description," "Creative Commons license: Attribution 3.0 United States", and in "Licenseurl" "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/". Finally the publisher is named The Shuttlecoque Sporting Club, i.e. the writers

The question of relevancy is seperate and one I'd like to discuss elsewhere and after the first question of copyright. I'm firmly committed to improving wikisource and wikipedia in writing about contemporary american poetry, the last thing I want to do is add irrelevant material, again, I'll start a discussion about this in Carson Cistulli after the copyright discussion is resolved,

Thanks, --193.251.43.248 03:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

unaware?

I'm curious whether you are perhaps blissfully unaware of your participation in quite a few small, slow edit wars such as this one, and this one, and this one, and this one. Hesperian 04:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Dear Sadie

As we select the PotM for March, do you have something that tickles your fancy from the list? Wikisource talk:Proofread of the Month — billinghurst sDrewth 11:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Swedish

Hi, and thanks for helping with the Swedish grammar pages! I noticed you changed a couple of instances of æ to œ in the text -- I'm really not sure that is correct, although the letter does rather look like œ in the scan. For example, wikt:norræna is written with an æ and I don't think œ is even used in the Scandinavian languages... If you look at a cursive font like Monotype Corsiva in MS Word, the æ actually looks pretty close to how it's written in the scan. Hope you don't mind if I change it back. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 00:33, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've changed it back to "æ". I think that weird letter would be a thorn (eg. þeirra). Jafeluv (talk) 02:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... Maybe thorn with stroke? Jafeluv (talk) 07:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Same for me, apparently you'd need to download some kind of exotic font set to get it to display correctly. I added it as an image for now. Jafeluv (talk) 16:23, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: Wikitable formatting on - Page:A simplified grammar of the Swedish language.djvu/38 is not working.

Fixed -- I seem to have added a section begin tag on the same line with the table. Apparently a wikitable should always begin at the end of the line, otherwise it isn't recognized as table markup. Thanks for pointing that out. Jafeluv (talk) 11:48, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Favour to ask

Something is not right at Special:PrefixIndex/The_Great_Salvation, I have just fixed links from The Great Salvation/Part Four however it is not hanging together and there is a real mishmash in the naming. Your review would be helpful. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Incentive to carry on...

Just a "thank you" for your continued validation of Mrs. Coates' Mine and Thine pages :) Every time I think about scanning more pages,—I "think again" and instead get to some other busy-work... But then when I see you've come a-validating, I set out to get back on track again! Appreciated! :) Londonjackbooks (talk) 22:40, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Sry

Sry 2 bother u, but u were the last "administrator" who edited the project (that I can tell), I wonder if u could do me a favour and upload http://www.archive.org/details/romanceofisabell00burt to The Romance of Isabel, Lady Burton so I could work on proofreading it? Thx!

Sorry, I don't know how upload djvu files, User:Billinghurst can do that for you. --kathleen wright5 (talk) 02:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Please stop

There was method in my madness but now its all gone to pieces. I'll sort it out. Moondyne (talk) 07:46, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

OK, noted. I'm aware I'm not following best practice but am sort of working alone on this so if you wouldn't mind leaving it, it'd be appreciated. I wont be transcluding any pages until the images are inserted. Moondyne (talk) 07:56, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

I've rethunk my system and will be happy to mark those as problematic. I hope I didn't offend you yesterday. Moondyne (talk) 07:32, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

your fixes

Thanks for fixes on the Tales, and the validation. I'm still trying to make the format work, it is a bit fiddly, and I noticed that I had missed quite a bit. Cheers, CYGNIS INSIGNIS

Stops of Various Quills

Thank you for all of your help here! I am going to try to get the text featured-eligible, but I need to research the guidelines/criteria a bit more first... I think it would make a good candidate, though! Londonjackbooks (talk) 14:17, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks Kathleen for your validations to Index:Horse shoes and horse shoeing.djvu! I only hope that such a strange topic is interesting for you. In the meantime - if you are interested to tricks issues - you'll perhaps noted an interesting way to solve the trouble of citations splitted into two pages; you'll find an example into page 499-page 500. And what do you think about my exotic way to manage hyphenated words by noinclude tag followed by {{St}}? Are you comfortable with it? --Alex brollo (talk) 21:11, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

It will be a pleasure to work a little bit with your book - i found that the fastest way to get images from a book is to use my OCR software (FineReader 10) but I'll take the opportunity to explore jp2 format. have I to transform images into B/W, or in gray, or have I to save the original background color?

PS: I'll find more comfortable to go on with our talk here, in your talk page, and I guess that it will be comfortable for you too. --Alex brollo (talk) 06:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Index:Horsemanship for Women.djvu isn't my book, it was uploaded by User:Eliyak in January this year. I left a message on his talk page about it but he hasn't got back to me. I don't anything about image formats—they're just ordinary line drawings. Click on one of the Problematic pages and you're see what I mean. --kathleen wright5 (talk) 07:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Alex: hello again! Kathleen, sorry to intrude. Alex, you might want to take a look at {{hyphenated word start}} and {{hyphenated word end}} (redirects are at "hws" and "hwe" for speed). This is the "canonical" way to do hyphenated words at enWS. The internal structure is somewhat similar to using {{st}}, but they are specifically for hyphenated words, but {{st}} is for general other uses.

Also, you don't need to no-include a "follow" ref - these do not show up in the text, they just get added to the reflist.

You can also look on my user page for GIMP scripts for removing the background colours of drawings. Generally, I prefer removing the background discoloured paper colour, but only if it can be done without damaging the image. Inductiveload—talk/contribs 09:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

OK Inductiveload for hws and hwe; I'll do. On the contrary, I don'n understand your suggestion about no-including follow refs: I only no-include blank rows between text and ref, for a better display of Page: text. But I can't exclude that I miss something. About GIMP: my problem was, how to use high-resolution Internet Archive jp2 images; and a it.source friend gave me the right suggestion. Yes, as soon as I'll get the series of cropped images I'll test your script. But I'm so slow while learning! I'm working from weeks simply at cleanup() and RunningHeader() routines! :-)

Then I must have misunderstood what was going on with the noincludes. My mistake. If you need help with the GIMP things, feel free to ask. They work in the latest version, no promises about other versions. You can get jp2 support for GIMP under Linux with an extension, but I'm not sure about Windows or Macs. Imagemagick can also handle jp2s, which makes for simple batch conversions. Inductiveload—talk/contribs 21:57, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

First of all: Kathleen thanks for hosting this talk! I hope, it isn't not boring for you.

I couldn't open IA jp2 with Imagemagick and I asked help from Luigi62, experienced in graphic stuff. His suggestion has been, to use w:IfanView. Excellent tool! But I did a so-so work while converting images: you can see how beautiful is the png built by Luigi62 at page 30, and how blurred is my one, at page 20. I'll do all from scratch. --Alex brollo (talk) 15:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

@ Kathleen, while posting here an excellent applications converted all the page jp2 images into simpler-to-manage high resolution jpg. I hope, that it's matter of half an hour to crop them. I'll let you know when they are posted into Commons. :-) --Alex brollo (talk) 21:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

About Horsemanship for Women: did you note how many signs of real discomfort can clearly be seen into horses eyes and ears? And… how there's no sign of empathy on the woman face? So strange, in its "normality"! --Alex brollo (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I did notice that, but I suppose that's how things were "done" in the 19th century. The only page that needs an image is Page:Horsemanship for Women.djvu/80—Musical notation, then it can be upgraded to Proofread. --kathleen wright5 (talk) 22:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. It's the second time I found music into an equitation book, the first time was into one of Italian reinassance masterpieces by Caesar Fiaschi: it:Pagina:Fiaschi.djvu/106. It's a pity that translators as Google cannot do a good work with ancient Italian.

As soon as I finished proofreading of Horse shoes and horse shoeing (now, with Lafosse's observations, most of which valuable today, things are much less boring!), can be that I'll validate some pages of Horsemanship for Women, if it.source will not call me at home fastly. ;-) --Alex brollo (talk) 13:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

The Eight Strokes of the Clock

Hi. Good cooperation for the split. But why did you remove the main page? There were links pointing there and the header on each chapter were pointing there. How do we find the book now? I would restore it, leaving the the table of contents and author note. Bye Mpaa (talk) 23:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

I fixed the page after your restoral. Bye Mpaa (talk) 00:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Just thought I'd say thanks for proofing some of the Base Facilities Report!  :-) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 10:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Popular Science Monthly Volume 1 validation.

Many thanks and my sincere gratitude for the completion. I am still obligated to anchor paragraphs to the index at the back of the volume, as well as check for missing {{nop}}’s for paragraphs ending at the bottom of pages. Both of which I will do!

The index/article relationship is stored in an offline MS Access database and I don’t want anyone to waste their time with it, because the first few volumes have a lot of original publisher errors and omissions. — Ineuw talk 09:42, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

File:Standard of the Salvation Army.svg.png

Hi, I'm just sorting through the list of unused files and I came across this file. I see that there are several versions of the Standard over at Commons commons:File:Standard of the Salvation Army.svg. Do we need this separate version here? Cheers, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

As efficient as ever! Sorry, I'm not a Vista user, so I can't help you on the automatic file suffixing (is that a word?). However, I wonder if you can do a Save As in an appropriate program and dictate the file type that way. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

A validation "Thank You"!

Thank you for your help on this! For some reason, I just kept putting this one off—but now it's done :) I appreciate it! Londonjackbooks (talk) 11:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

on another Coates note

I've been changing my formatting with the Pro Patria text from using the poem tag to the "archaic" non-breaking spaces and breaks (which render better in PDF—a recent "concern" of mine, but not too much of one), so you may have noticed my proofreads over your proofreads. Sorry about that, but thank you for the drive-by's as always! With regards to the Wilson quotation page, I'm not happy with my improvised attempt at recreating the image. Something about the prose formatting doesn't translate well in the Main... So if you know of a better way, please have a go! Thanks for all, Londonjackbooks (talk) 02:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Played with the formatting of the Wilson excerpt page, and am happier with it than my original go of it... Still open to suggestions as always! —Londonjackbooks (talk) 04:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Index:A Little Pretty Pocket-book.djvu

I'm really sorry about that... I hope it's okay now? Were all the Index:pages blank to begin with? I'd hate to have lost anyone's work... Londonjackbooks (talk) 06:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for validating. I did some HTML shenanigans with the image & overlayed text, but I'm still not sure I'm happy with the default view. --Eliyak T·C 09:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Request for validation

Hi Kathleen, I'm wondering if you might be willing to validate some or all of 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Oregon -- it's my first (I think!) complete project here. Folks said you're a good person to ask, and I see from your user page you've been a busy proofreader! Thanks, -Pete (talk) 07:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

I see you've knocked off a few pages of it already, and caught some typos I mixed, too! Much appreciated :) -Pete (talk) 03:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you very much, for your formatting help at Examining Efforts to Eradicate Human Trafficking. Much appreciated! Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 14:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Governance essay

Hi I have edited Wikipedia a fair bit, but never contributed here. I've just created Wikipedia_Governance copied from here, since it looks like an interesting "historical" (if 2002 can be considered history!) document. Could you please give it a once-over and make sure it is within wikisource policy? Thanks! --Surturz (talk) 12:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Validation favour

Hi, I messed up a couple of pages in Index:Howards End.djvu and accidentally set them to Proofread. Could you please validate them for me? Thanks heaps, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:47, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank You

Kathleen,

I have appreciated your flitting and floating over much of the work I have transcribed here... To quote Billinghurst—". . . with your little wand, tapping on Page: after Page: bringing little blossoms of validation." :) I always liked that image, and thought it true! With the reworking of Mrs. Coates' Pages that I have been doing as of late, I am sure I have been taking over your 'watchlist' recently! As a result of your familiarity with the work—and because I don't know where else it would be appropriate for me to inquire and inform—I was wondering if you might not keep an eye on things, for I think it's time for me to leave here permanently. I didn't expect to leave, and I hate to have left anything undone—but I think I have left sufficient instruction in one of my sandboxes for anyone who might consider picking up where I left off. As for my User page, Talk page, and subpages, I honestly don't know what I should do with them—so I'll leave them at the discretion of you all. With that, thank you! :) I have enjoyed my time here very much. Londonjackbooks (talk) 19:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, I had thought to clean up my User pages, etc., since only I could, really. I think I have addressed my main concerns about what is left to be cleaned up (reworked pages/reformatting, etc.). I would have liked to better refine Mrs. Coates' fugitive piece pages, but perhaps someone will come along to bring them up to a better standard. I'm "going home" so to speak to get back to my own domestic "source"! My "mop" use isn't so good here at home either, but I'll try to reacquaint myself with it! ;) Thanks again for all, Londonjackbooks (talk) 00:47, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Going through my mind lately has been the phrase (well maybe not a phrase, but at least the words), "If you don't do it, then who will?" I don't want to stop working with Mrs. Coates' (& related) poetry yet. I think I at least need to see through what I have started. When that's done, then I can reassess again. What I do need to do is at least prioritize my time between here and home, and not let one suffer at the hands of the other, for they're both important to me! . . . No response necessary :) Have a good one, Londonjackbooks (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Missing PSM pages

Hi, and thanks for your help with PSM. I placed a web link to a list of all IA copies of the PSM volumes IN THIS SECTION.— Ineuw talk 16:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

software problem

There is currently a problem with the software at this site. Through no fault of your own, every time you edit a page (such as your good work in validating), an unwanted line will be inserted. Please see Scriptorium for more info. CYGNIS INSIGNIS 13:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear Ms Wright,

You are cordially invited to validate the remaining page and list it on New Texts.

You may have simply been validating a random page when you hit upon Mrs. Coates' piece... At your leisure, could you also validate the last page of the poem as well? Thanks! Londonjackbooks (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
