--==Sources== All content added to Wikisource must identify the source from which that text was taken. For translated works, that includes the source of the translation. A license suitable for both the original work and its translation must also be appended to the work. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:50, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hey, new to adding content to wiki source, I’ve been adding the source text for Constantine’s letters in the notes section of the header. Which is typically been Life of Constantine by Eusebius, does that satisfy the requirement? Or is there another way it’s supposed to be done? JonathanBBlaze (talk) 04:04, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- But which copy of Eusebius' Life? The texts you have added are in English, but Eusebius did not write in English. So, who made this particular translation to English, and when and where was that English translation published? --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:54, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Okay I added public domain licenses and sources to each of the three letters I added. I think I've done it correctly, but let me know if it isn't. JonathanBBlaze (talk) 20:08, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Translations require a double license: one for the original work, and one for the translation. The translation's license will depend upon the date of publication, the place of publication, and the date the translator died. A translation can be under copyright even if the original is not. I don't see any information about the translator other than initials and a last name. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

- If you are doing work with scans (our preferred to proofread and validate) then the links to the scan is sufficient source. If without scan, we would encourage the addition of the
edition = yesparameter to the {{header}} and then the use of {{textinfo}} on the work's talk page. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:57, 17 July 2018 (UTC)- I don't have scans, but added web citations with links to the sources.JonathanBBlaze (talk) 20:08, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
