Dâudnagar[edit]

The name "Dâudnagar" (found at least at page 5 (v) and 31 (7)) has a single dot over the "u". In page (v) it’s been handled as "ü" and in page (6) i left it just "u". I can’t find this character. Any ideas? --Ah3kal (talk) 10:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ah3kal: I'd try using u̇ which is the character "COMBINING DOT ABOVE" (U+0307) and u. -Einstein95 (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Curly quotes or straight quotes[edit]

Which are we using for this text? I can see curly quotes here but straight quotes here. I'm new here so I'm anxious to make the right choice. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 22:14, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Straight quotes are the general standard in this site. Text layer, when created by Internet Archive, have straight quotes. OCR layer of this work was locally created by me, so it has curly quotes, as per the software I used. This needs to be changed to straight quotes while proofreading, as per the general standard here.

Right. I straightened all the pages I have edited. (Presumably apostrophes are also straight.) I guess it can always be fixed later, but it seems to me much preferable for "validated" to mean "twice checked and stylistically in compliance"... I note there are still some curly quotes/apostrophes on other proofread/validated pages. Thanks for picking a direction. BethNaught (talk) 07:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Same goes for apostrophes by the way, although they're not as obvious. AnotherAnonymous (talk) 09:08, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contents page needs subpage links[edit]

We need to turn the Contents into a linked ToC. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:57, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Validation by Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant[edit]

Validation by this user is not correct and the pages contain plenty of errors. Hrishikes (talk) 15:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section headings[edit]

We need to establish a consistent style for the section headings. I've been using {{c|{{larger|HEADING}}}} but some seem to have just used {{c|HEADING}}. If you look closely, the headings are clearly larger than the main text, so I think my way makes sense. AnotherAnonymous (talk) 07:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
