Welcome to Wikisource

Hello, Iwuala Lucy, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Help pages, especially for proofreading
• Help:Beginner's guide to Wikisource
• Style guide
• Inclusion policy
• Wikisource:For Wikipedians

You may be interested in participating in

• Proofread of the Month
• Monthly Challenge
• Requested texts

Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{Collaboration/MC}} to your page for current Wikisource projects.

You can put a brief description of your interests on your user page and contributions to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia and Commons.

Have questions? Then please ask them at either

• Wikisource:Scriptorium; or
• Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username if you're logged in (or IP address if you are not) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! —billinghurst sDrewth 14:11, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. You can visit the page of the project at Wikisource:Proofread of the Month and there choose an index to work on. I suggest you start with validation and later you can start with proofreading as such. For example the Index:The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, Volume 1.djvu has already all the pages proofread, but only a few are validated (the green ones). So you can choose a yellow page and check it against the scan on the right. If you see any typo, you can click the edit button, correct it and mark the page as validated. If everything is all right, you click the edit button anyway and just mark the page as validated.

You may also be interested in a similar project Monthly Challenge, where there are more frequently added new works to proofread and validate.--Jan Kameníček (talk) 12:17, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
