Gutenberg texts
[edit]Hi Urals00, and welcome to Wikisource.
Thank you for contributing a text to Wikisource: we are always happy to receive new contributors here!
However, please do not add texts that are cut&pastes from Project Gutenberg. Their transcription practices include doing things like silently correcting spelling errors, conflating multiple editions of the same work, and not specifying which particular edition they have based their transcription on. In addition to the links in the "Welcome to Wikisource" section above, you may find it useful to look at Help:Adding texts which describes our preferred method for adding new texts to Wikisource. The short version is that we prefer to start from a scan of a specific edition of a work, mapped into page by way of an Index: page, and then publishing the parts (like a chapter or an individual poem) in the context of that larger work.
Or put another way: we typically would not start from a single poem, but rather from a published collection that included that poem.
Please feel free to ask if you have questions or need assistance! --Xover (talk) 08:26, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
