Wikisource:Style guide

I would encourage you to read our guidance documents as I believe that it would have helped you to have made decisions more aligned to how the community is putting forward works. We are focused on a published work, so as such every different version of a document should be sitting as a root work, we would only flow to subpages for serial works, or subparts of a work. Also as they are their own works, they would be clustered by a version page, which I have done.

I would encourage you to seek the guidance of the community at Wikisource:Scriptorium to help set out these works. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:46, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Works need sources

Hi. English Wikisource requests that works that are not supported by scans have a source added, and where possible with a url, ie. adding the source detail using the {{pageinfo}} template at Palestine Order-in-Council. We would also utilise the edition parameter within {{header}} to point to the source information. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Please don't add updates to a work

Our works represent the work as it appeared at its time of publication. If a work was republished with changes or additions, eg. Iran Constitution of 1906 then that would mean that we would add this separately and look at disambiguation the {{edition}}. As your recent addition was a comment, I have moved it to the talk page. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Constitution of Cuba (1940)

Hi Glide08,

Back in March of 2018 you added a text purporting to be the 1940 version of the constitution of Cuba, but you did not specify the source for the text. Do you by any chance recall the source from which you got the text, or any details about who translated it from Spanish? Xover (talk) 07:48, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Fat fingers and insufficient coffee

cf. this. You're absolutely right, and I have no idea how I managed to misread the diffs (it's a bit late in the day to blame insufficient coffee). For some reason I thought you were doing the exact opposite of what you were doing. Thus the revert and the glib edit summary. Mea culpa! Xover (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Constitution of Finland (1919)

Can you give a source for that document ? -- Beardo (talk) 15:07, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
