Welcome

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

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you continue to edit without a username, your IP address is used to publicly identify you.

In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question. If you are familiar with Internet Relay Chat, you can come and ask for help in #wikisource. Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 11:43, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The mysterious Header toggle button[edit]

When proofreading in the Page: namespace and one has their toolbar turned on [Gadgets | Editing (tab) | Editing toolbar (checkbox)], one will see the button , and clicking it toggles the header/footer on and off. In this space we put the relevant components for top and bottoms of pages by use of the template {{RunningHeader}}, so for example {{RunningHeader|Stanhope|3|Stanhope}} produces

Stanhope
3
Stanhope

I personally have my header/footer set to open in the Page: namespace and I achieved this by activating that option in my Gadgets. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:55, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plus if you have a look back at Page:Eight Harvard Poets.djvu/57 you will see the use of <poem> which can be helpful. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:55, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

proofread[edit]

If you are done checking the text, use the yellow button to mark it "proofread". You can copy what I did at To a Passepied by Scarlatti, or leave me note on my talk and I'll add it to the main pages. Nice book, Cygnis insignis (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be able to do that, one needs to have an user account. IP addresses cannot advance proofreading status. It really is one of the advantages of a user account, that and the ability to be able to address a person and to be able to allocate permissions. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
