January PotM - a couple of notes
[edit]Hi, thanks for reminding me that I was a little behind with the PotM for January. I thought I'd drop you a couple of notes of explanation for my actions with respect to your initial version:
- Only .djvu files work in the PotM and Collaboration templates, so I've swapped over to a .djvu version instead of the .pdf you uploaded.
- I note that you've uploaded the file here instead of to Commons. The only files we upload here are those that meet our copyright rules but not those of Commons. All other files should be on Commons. Because we won't be using the .pdf version I'll delete that shortly, but I wanted to explain why here before doing so.
- Your file name was rather long because it included the extensive note from the title page. Over the years I've found it best to be fairly succinct when naming files (and therefore Index: pages). It saves a lot of typing.
I'm about to have a look for some other shortish but quirky works to follow the Eye, as we find that these go quite well in January. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Beeswaxcandle: Thank you for reminding me about these things above. But when I go to the external scan website (archive.org), I found that the .djvu file is not available, so I can only download the .pdf document. Can you tell me how to obtain the .djvu file? Thanks!!! Albert Micah Hang (talk) 02:07, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- If a .djvu is available, then it's listed under the link "show all" at the bottom of the grey panel of files to download. If it's not available, then we can use the ia-upload tool (on commons) to convert it—I try to avoid doing this if possible as it doesn't always do a good job.
