Linebreaks
[edit]Hi, when proofreading we need you to remove end-of-line hyphens where a word is split between two lines. If you don't the text looks some- thing like that when transcluded, where it should look like something. While it is preferable to remove all the linebreaks in a paragraph, the important ones to remove are those with hyphens. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:18, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Beeswaxcandle Thank you for reaching out! I had thought we were matching the text to the image texts; sorry about that! I will be fixing that from now on Micheal Kaluba (talk) 06:22, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Ah. No, what we're doing here is making the content of the books digitally available. Simply reproducing the exact look of the page is equivalent to making the scans available to read—which the Internet Archive already does. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:31, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Proofread
[edit]Please do not advance page status when there are still issues on the page, see this.
Do your edits and keep them in red until you are sure.
Please consider reading the Style guide for spaces near quotes, etc. Thanks Mpaa (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Running headers
[edit]Hi, the next thing to learn about is the running header. On the Shepherdess book you're working on, there's a line at the top of each page. That line belongs in the "Header" box for the page, rather than the "Page Body" box. When we leave it in the Body box, it ends up in the transclusion to the mainpage. On this book, the page number also needs moving, but into the "Footer" box. Again, by doing so, it stops it getting in the way when we transclude. We've got a different way of showing page numbers in the mainspace. Have a look at what I've done on Elizabeth's Pretenders/Part 3/Chapter 1 and you'll be able to see the page numbers in the left-hand margin. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I am afraid this work is not in the scope of English Wikisource, which hosts previously published texts in English which are in the public domain. -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 09:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
A Handbook of Luganda
[edit]There is both Index:A HAND-BOOK OF LUGANDA.djvu and Index:A Handbook of Luganda.pdf Do we need both ? Or are they just different copies of the same printing ? -- Beardo (talk) 01:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
