Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 14:31, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I've found a page that I believe needs editing but would like to compare it with the original scan; can't see how to do that. Pablo X (talk) 10:29, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

That will all depend on the work and whether the original is available or not. Would you mind identifying the work? — billinghurst sDrewth 13:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

The work is Lady Chatterley's Lover, there are a lot of CAPS which should be italic text, plus mangled accents on French phrases.   pablo_hablo. 13:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

We should be able to get a text, just need to make sure that it is the correct version. If we look at the relevant talk page, I will hazard a guess that we have a Gutenberg transcription. Off to have a look-see. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

No luck. Published 1930, and from looking at our own copyright discussion, it looks to be yes/no/maybe works, to the point that IA and Google have erred on the side of NO SHOW. So, no images available. The {{textinfo}} on the talk page shows that it was a PGA transcription. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:30, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Just finding my way around here.   pablo_hablo. 14:32, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

And that is totally okay, and we are more than willing to tease you with content, inveigle you into projects, and staple your feet to the ground to demonstrate that it is a nice place to be.. Primarily with scans available we favour DjVu files and work in our proofreading space, for an example see our WS:PotM for February The Craftsmanship of Writing <-> Index:The Craftsmanship of Writing.djvu — billinghurst sDrewth 17:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

← No special interest, just browsing for a half-remembered quotation. While I'm here I'll do some more tidying up though.   pablo_hablo. 18:12, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
