Monthly Challenge

June 2025

Welcome to the Monthly Challenge!

Each month, the challenge aims to proofread and validate several texts.
It provides a safe space for new users to learn about Wikisource.
The texts are featured for a maximum of three months with a few exceptions.
The challenge builds Wikisource's core collection and makes free, scan-backed ebooks accessible to everyone.

Guidelines

Welcome to this month's challenge. For a general overview of proofreading at Wikisource, see Help:Beginner's guide to proofreading. The challenge has a few special guidelines and tips for new users.

Guidelines, tips and information

Guidelines

If you've worked on a page, but don't have time to finish, please save your work as Not Proofread.
If you encounter a difficulty such as a table, missing image, or a different alphabet, please mark the page as Problematic and an experienced editor will review it.
Once you have finished proofreading a page, make sure to mark it as Proofread.
Validation requires a careful checking of the proofread text to make sure that the formatting and spelling match the original. Be sure to read and follow the guidelines in Help:Beginner's guide to validation. Once you finish validating a page, mark it as Validated.
- Do not use spell-check to validate, as many older works use non-standard spellings. Even if there is a mistake in the original, transcribe it as-is.

Tips

Many books published before 1820 feature a long s (ſ). Replace those with {{ls}} to yield s (its appearance is changed by the Visibility gadget).
Use {{ppoem}} for formatting poems. Separate verses with a blank line.
Mark the spot where an image should go with {{missing image}}, a table with {{missing table}} and other alphabets with {{Language characters}}.
Add a blank line between each paragraph.
For images, use the following format:

{{img float
 | file = name of the image file
 | cap = The caption
 | align = left/center/right
 | alt = A description for those with different visual abilities.
 | width = How wide the image is: e.g. 500px
}}

For more information, see {{img float}}.
