FT for Halloween

This work looks like it might make a good "Featured Text" for the week of Halloween, if one has not already been selected. However, it is unfortunate that there seems to be no Wikipedia article concerning this author on either the English or French Wikipedia. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:45, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good to me :)

I am going to write a wp article when it's done here. - Theornamentalist (talk) 03:20, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

indicating print errors

On page 31 (file page 39), there is a line that was printed as "And mournfnl wraiths sob hard and loud," in the original text. Clearly, this was intended to read "And mournful wraiths sob hard and loud," but is there a way to mark this? That is, do we correct such an obvious error, but mark it as an editorial correction, or do we leave it is as? And if we reproduce the error faithfully, is there a Wikisource equivalent for [sic] that can be used to mark it? --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

There is {{SIC}} and {{sic}}, both of which I've used. The former underlines and tooltip shows the correct spelling, the latter is just used as a note for editors. - Theornamentalist (talk) 12:08, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Sections

We could potentially split the work into subsections, "Front matter," "Preface," "When I am gone" and "Betelguese." I typically tend to leave a work like this on a single page if possible, but the poem is rather lengthy. What do you think? - Theornamentalist (talk) 03:01, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

The other material is so short, that I don't think it matters too much. On the down side, splitting up the work would mean that the image of Typhon would not appear on the page alongside the primary work. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:18, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Good point, will leave as-is. - Theornamentalist (talk) 03:25, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
