For subpages[edit]

Thought that I would show the current way that we format subpages of works example. We try to do relative links rather than hard links, and this is in case of a need to move a work it means we can just move and not need to edit pages, plus for years and categories, we generally only put these at the top level of a work, rather than on every page. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:41, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks Billinghurst. I shall keep that in mind. Radartooth (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And I have run through with my tools, and updated the previous works, and the last lot there was little to do. To note that I have also moved a couple of works. We do not disambiguate with words like (novel) as if there are different versions, then it is quite possible that all versions will be novels, so if we need to disambiguate we use author's name, translatorr's name, or a year version. If we don't need to disambiguate, we usually will not, leaving that to another day, if at all a requirement. smileybillinghurst sDrewth 13:57, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Empty works[edit]

Hi. It is the community's preference that blank works are not created. It is felt that they end up being left empty and misrepresent the site. If there are not immediate plans to proofread and transclude the works, then probably should delete the main ns pages until there are works ready to transclude. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, billinghurst. I shall proofread and transclude as soon as possible. - radartooth --Radartooth (talk) 09:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright tags[edit]

Hi Radartooth. I noticed that you uploaded The Intruder (Georgia Wood Pangborn) today, but you didn't add a copyright tag. Per the copyright policy works should be tagged to indicate their copyright status. Please could you ensure that this and previous contributions of yours are properly tagged. Please do ask me or at the Scriptorium if you're not sure about anything. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 21:10, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BethNaught. Thanks for this. I have added the appropriate copyright tag.

Death Comes for the Archbishop[edit]

I can't see that you have noted the source for your recent addition. What was it ? -- Beardo (talk) 23:00, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Beardo. I have mentioned the Archive.org file as the source. Radartooth (talk) 06:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding that. -- Beardo (talk) 07:32, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Radartooth (talk) 10:24, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Awareness that straight paste is less preferred[edit]

Hi. Checking that you are aware that English Wikisource has a preference for works to be provided as scan-backed versions as this is a better way to get proofread and validated pages, per Help:Proofread. We do allow copy and paste however where there is a scan available, it is definitely the preference. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:12, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this. Radartooth (talk) 06:50, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
