Hello, 4nn1l2, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Stage directions[edit]

Most published plays will use

[Exit.

floating to the right of the line, and without closing the brackets. We don't insert punctuation that is at odds with the original copy. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:45, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@EncycloPetey: OK. But there are other "[Exits.]"s in A Doll's House/Act II. The style should be consistent. 4nn1l2 (talk) 01:49, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The style should be consistent with the original copy. It does not have to be internally consistent unless the original was. Wikisource duplicates the original copy, and does not editorialize. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:51, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@EncycloPetey: Fair enough. Do you know how I can get my hands on the original copy? I am newbie here and I would appreciate your help. There are other things that I would like to fix, such as
He. is coming home tomorrow evening I wrote a note for him.
which I think the punctuation is wrong. Thank you. 4nn1l2 (talk) 01:58, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is a copy of Farquharson Sharp's translation here on IA.
Looking over it briefly, there may be more than a few corrections, as whoever put the copy here seems to have created their own style, which is not condoned by Wikisource. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@EncycloPetey: Thank you very much. Then, I will try to proofread the whole text today or tomorrow. 4nn1l2 (talk) 02:06, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your intended effort, but the djvu file needs to be rebuilt so that the OCR text lines up with the scans. Please ask for assistance with this at the Scriptorum. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:32, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ShakespeareFan00: Thanks for your comment. I do not understand the problem. However, I see that you have reported the issue at the Scriptorum yourself. Thank you. 4nn1l2 (talk) 15:57, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
