St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 3/Nature and Science and others..

Perhaps when you use 'clever' layouts, you can actually check the markup isn't going to cause errors?

Having spent a good hour attempting to resolve what was ACTUALLY wrong this, Perhaps YOU can figure out where your markup is 'incompatible' with the linter's standards, and resolve the lint.

And next time, please consider documenting the approach you are using, so other contributors don't have to play hunt the quirk without getting anywhere! ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00 I could tell from my watch list that your software is stupid for html and divs. I recommend that if you are using that software without a clear understanding of tidy html, that you cease. I'm not changing tidy html to help broken software.

And, oh yeah, that old stuff already passed your linter tests, so look to see what is broken there since then and stop harassing the volunteers.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:21, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Interesting. - Well the transcluded page is still showing up - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors?wpNamespaceRestrictions=&titlesearch=St.+Nicholas%2FVolume+32%2FNumber+3%2FNature+and+Science&exactmatch=1&tag=all&template=all. I will assume the Linter is being pedantic, and move on. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:02, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Cimarron-1930.djvu

Based on the file information, I'm assuming you scanned this book yourself and created the DjVu. Can you repair the file to eliminate the duplicate pages? --EncycloPetey (talk) 13:10, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

EncycloPetey Yeah, I can fix it. Do you think it is real? With the "First edition" printed there? Although, maybe it is there to clear up confusion between the copyright date and publishing date? Maybe the first attempt to publish failed when the market crashed.

I'll get on it when I'm done uploading The Little Engine That Could.

Celebrating the New Year after that full moon. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

New Rackham

Could you create the images from here, please? I just finished up the text transcription and transclusion. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:23, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Rackham and others,.

Please can you confirm the DIV's are balanced as some chapters are throwing out Lint errors claiming they are not? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:38, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00: Hello! All of my work here has been previously approved by your software.

I was saddened, angered and horrified when you started to disassemble the weather book, and the St. Nicholas:

Sad because of the work.

Angry because of the previous approval by your software.

Horrified because I remember you saying that divs might not be allowed here when you convinced me to start using class blocks and I had hoped that you would write your software to convert from <div /> to {{class block}}

Then, I was muted because sad, angry and horrified are not good for me to communicate, especially when respect is in the mix. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:12, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Which Weather book, and which St Nicholas pages? I was going by Special:LintErorrs, not by the external script. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 06:37, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Well, the pages have dropped either out or off of my watchlist. I would have to run through each page to see which of them; so, maybe they disappeared. The wiki is weird for me right now. At home, the book I have been working on and the current POTM djvus are not displaying but at the library, they are leading me to think that there are different en.wikisources. Hmm, commons thinks it is yesterday in both places.

All of my pages were checked by eh, PAWS (?) and many problems were worked out and sorted through. I learned enough from you and those problems to have made it all worth it for me!

When you used your own eyes to see the problem, you didn't find any, did you?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:21, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

No, I used Special:LintErrors and a lot of 'blue mist' at the text area, to correct them myself. Matching up the DIV's by litterally going through every single Page side by side :). I didn't use the LintHint script as it proved to be unreliable for complex sequences, I went and 'rechecked' manually.

Another tip from me

.ws-poem .ws-poem{
background-color:red; color:yellow;
}

.prp-pages-output div {
border: 2px solid green ;
padding-left:0.5em;
}

in common.css

helped show up most of the remaining mainspace lints with what I termed structural 'missing tags' ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:31, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

IN terms of works not displaying, it depends on the ISP, and there have been some 'issues' in the last few days. :( ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:38, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

St Nicholas.

Can you please take another look? The layouts feel wrong, and they are showing up on Special:LintErrors? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:09, 6 March 2026 (UTC) St._Nicholas/Volume_40/Number_4/Nature_and_Science St._Nicholas/Volume_40/Number_5/Nature_and_Science St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 2/League

I've attempted to reverted my fixes, as it does not solve the underlying issue. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:09, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Now resolved, but review of the attempted repairs appreciated.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:27, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00 I am sorry I missed this. The next thing I do is review that list.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 22:02, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
