I've just proof-read a letter - my first wiki source action! - Privatemusings 23:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Privatemusings, 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!

Welcome to the community, and thanks for helping out! Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:Honoré de Balzac} 23:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Wind in the Willows

Hi,

When you proofread pages, could you do a couple things:

1. Don't add spaces before and after em dashes
2. change single quotation marks to double quotations
3. use Template:Hyphenated word start and Template:Hyphenated word end for hyphenated words that span two pages
4. add a line break (blank white line) at the top of the edit screen for pages that begin with a new paragraph (instead of one spilling over from the previous page)

These conventions are widely used on all of the WitW pages, and not making these changes while still validating makes them incorrectly at 100% text quality. Thanks.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 13:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

thanks heaps for the note Z - I took a sort of 'try and help in good faith' approach - and I'm sorry if some of my inevitable mistakes caused any problems... I've absorbed the above, and can hopefully be a better wiki sorcerer! cheers, Privatemusings 06:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)..and I'm off to try and finish the wind in the willows to try and help make the deadline!

please be more careful

Here you marked a page as proofread, but you missed a chunk. Catching such things is key to the concept of proofreading. Cheers, Jack Merridew 16:12, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
