Sir Arthur Conan Doyle poems

Hi, welcome to Wikisource.

I've noticed the Arthur Conan Doyle poems you've added. Thanks for doing so. Could you also add the source (on the talk page) you are using for these poems? If you copied them from a website, could you add the name and URL; if copied from a book, could you add which book and specify that it was transcribed by you? I've put a blank {{textinfo}} template on each talk page. If you could fill in the source on these, and as much as you can, it would help. I know you've listed a book in the notes field of the header but it isn't clear if you are directly using this book as your source or if it was just a bibliographic reference.

As you are adding poetry, you might be interested in Help:Editing poetry, especially the <poem> ... </poem> tags (which I have added to your poems as an example).

NB: I moved The Ferewell (Doyle) to The Farewell (Doyle) as the first title appeared to be a typo (the name given in the header was spelled "Farewell" anyway).

I hope you enjoy your time on this project. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 12:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

Hi there, i dont' see where the blank boxes are on my talk page.

The sourse is from an e-library site. University of California • Berkeley

URL is: http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/arthur-conan-doyle/the-poems-of-arthur-conan-doyle-hci/page-6-the-poems-of-arthur-conan-doyle-hci.shtml

It's the only source of the poeme I could find. I had an original 1922 copy of Songs of the Road but sadly lost it.

Sorry, I meant the talk pages of each poem, such as Talk:Now Then, Smith. If you just edit those talk pages and add the same link that you put here it will be fine.

Incidentally, I think ebooksread.com is taking its text from the Internet Archive's copy of The Poems of Arthur Conan Doyle. The IA version allows you, among other things, to see the original page scans if you click on Read Online. You can use that for reference if you want. (The advanced version of adding texts involves uploading the Internet Archive's scan and proofreading it like the current Proofread of the Month, A Wayfarer in China, but that's not important right now.) Wikisource just likes to have sources for its works, so it can be proven that they are accurate. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 13:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
