The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse

Hello! Thanks for posting the link to the The Works of Sir John Suckling. I uploaded the scan of the book, but the plain text version is always imperfect, so it still needs to be proof-read and validated. If you are interested in helping with proof-reading, check out Index:Works of Sir John Suckling.djvu. Hope to see you around! Cheers, stephen (talk) 08:13, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

In this space we put the relevant components for top and bottoms of pages by use of the template {{RunningHeader}}, so for example {{RunningHeader|Stanhope|3|Stanhope}} produces

I personally have my header/footer set to open in the Page: namespace and I achieved this by activating that option in my Gadgets. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info about the mysterious Header toggle bar

Also, thanks adjusting the table at Page:Works_of_Sir_John_Suckling.djvu/11. I am mostly used to Wikipedia, & this was the first time I had worked with Wikisource, so trying to figure my around some unfamiliar formatting. Peaceray (talk) 04:54, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
