Amending[edit]
Wikisource does not add content to published sources. We present the work that was published, as it was published, without adding to it. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Who is Ireland's Enemy[edit]
Did you type this in yourself from a copy of the 1914 publication? Wikisource wants to know the source of the text so that it's accuracy can be verified. To this end, if you have checked against an electronic copy or scan, then it should be identified and linked from the work's Talk page. Otherwise, we tag the work with {{no source}}. --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I saw that you added Sweet Dublin Bay with a note to the source. When I checked the source, I saw that the work was called "Dublin Bay" and the formatting was somewhat different. We do try to maintain our versions in alignment with the identified sourced edition, so what I have done is
- Imported the file of the work, and created the Index: page
- Set the work up with table of contents, etc.
- Moved the added page to be a subpage of the work, and transcluded the work from the source.
The work has been started at The Wearing of the Green Song Book and is available for any who may wish to contribute. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:45, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
