Por una Cabeza

I'm the one who did the translation, and release it to the public domain. 31.94.20.252 08:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

That means more if I sign in, doesn't it? Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Not really, since it does not address the reasons for deletion. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

New NZ book

Kathleen Mary Lindsay vs. Margaret Cameron

I noticed you added some works to Kathleen Mary Lindsay under the pen name of Margaret Cameron, however those works are also listed under the author Margaret Cameron who seems to have different birth and death dates. How does this get resolved? Thank you, —Uzume (talk) 18:43, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

It will probably involve a lot of original research. The first Literature database listed at Lindsay's WP article was my source for those works, but WP has a separate article for Margaret Cameron supported better by references. Without much additional research, I cannot say whether the claim of identity is valid. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:46, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Letters to Atticus

Hello. I have noticed that you closed the discussion at Wikisource:Proposed_deletions#Letters to Atticus as "Deleted. Old, incomplete work, but scans of the source are available." However, the work has not been deleted. Was it a mistake? -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 20:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for alerting me. That looks like a copy-paste error. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello!

Thanks for the helpful welcome message you left on my talk page! I have this one confusion - what is one supposed to do if a proofread work contains errors? I found a book on the works that validation that wasn't correctly proofread and I didn't really know how to proceed. Also, where could I learn the markup for editing and formatting the text? There are a lot of Indian law and historic text related pages that I would like to contribute to, but I'm a bit lost at the moment. Thanks! AradhanaChatterjee (talk) 22:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

If I knew which text, I would be better able to answer the question. Because the answer to your question depends on several factors. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

This page. AradhanaChatterjee (talk) 06:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

OK, so what errors do you see? If there is a mismatch in spelling or punctuation between the scan image and the text, then the text should be corrected to match the scan. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:06, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks alot for your help and corrections with some of the work that we are doing in Uganda, the corrections especially with the alignment are helpul pointers.AKibombo (talk) 04:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Please respond

here: User_talk:Koavf#Old_Style. Otherwise, I'm just going to keep on doing what I'm doing, as I have no clue what you're talking about. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:52, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

How do you recommend multilingual parallel texts be proofread/transcluded?

Hello, I was wondering what your opinion on this would be as there is a placeholder page for this but no guidelines (Wikisource:Multilingual texts). This is the first page of the text in question; https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:The_creeds_of_Christendom_-_with_a_history_and_critical_notes_(IA_creedschristendo03scha).pdf/372&action=edit&redlink=1. Thanks Violoncello10104 (talk) 02:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Parallel texts are trickier, but can be done using sections. See for example Index:Ten Tragedies of Seneca (1902).djvu, where I transcribed Medea, which is a parallel Latin and English text. By putting the Latin into sections labelled "Latin" and English into sections labelled "English", it's possible to host just the English here, and for someone at the Latin Wikisource to do the reverse. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I've done so for a shorter text (the Lambeth Articles) and will work on that for the Gallican Confession. I appreciate your help! Violoncello10104 (talk) 05:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
