Hi Naaman, I noticed you doing some work on Tamerlane, good choice! If you are interested I have uploaded a scan of RH Shepherd's reprint of the original, Index:Tamerlane_and_other_poems_(1884).djvu, its got his preface and one by Poe. If you go to this link[1] you will see an OCR text layer appearing. You may want to use this file to support your work, let me know if you need a hand getting started.

I transcribed the text from a PDF of Shepherd's facsimile obtained through Google (my goal being to reproduce the text as a reader of 1827 would find it). I note Shepherd faulted Ingram for introducing errata, so I guess I was being pretty brazen (considering I found typos in mine even after posting). Thanks, and as time permits I will reconcile my transcription against your textand the scan. Naaman Brown (talk) 14:36, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Oops, I forgot to mention here that I couldn't resist doing it myself. I did a text comparison, using your work, and discovered some errors in my conversion; yours was much closer to Shepherd's text. That editor was pretty harsh on Ingram, even in the Index; Shepherd is pretty good, but others have criticised him too. There is a couple of sites that have scholarly transcriptions, and a photographic facsimile around, I'll see what I can find and plunder. I'll make a note on the talk that you started the transcription, let me know if you want the page history split to that page. Regards, Cygnis insignis (talk) 15:29, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Naaman Brown. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Naaman Brown~enwikisource that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
