Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{CotW}} to your page for current wikisource projects.

You can put a brief description of your interests on your user page and contributions to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia and Commons.

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date.

The Shunned House[edit]

Hi. The categories for Weird Tales/Volume 30/Issue 4/The Shunned House are actually on the redirect page The Shunned House. I put the categories there to keep the category pages legible (the full file path isn't that easy to read when browsing a category). I've added a defaultsort to the redirect (I don't know why I forgot to do so originally). - AdamBMorgan (talk) 20:00, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Wikisource User Group[edit]

Wikisource, the free digital library is moving towards better implementation of book management, proofreading and uploading. All language communities are very important in Wikisource. We would like to propose a Wikisource User Group, which would be a loose, volunteer organization to facilitate outreach and foster technical development, join if you feel like helping out. This would also give a better way to share and improve the tools used in the local Wikisources. You are invited to join the mailing list 'wikisource-l' (English), the IRC channel #wikisource, the facebook page or the Wikisource twitter. As a part of the Google Summer of Code 2013, there are four projects related to Wikisource. To get the best results out of these projects, we would like your comments about them. The projects are listed at Wikisource across projects. You can find the midpoint report for developmental work done during the IEG on Wikisource here.

Easier way to do "defaultsort"[edit]

Hi, for a work with as many sub-pages as A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon it would be easier to get a bot to add the defaultsort. You can put a request in at Bot Requests, and one of the bot-owners who do this sort of thing will be happy to assist. Doing so would free you to focus on works that require a more manual intervention. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

OK< I've made the request. I'll now move on from 1891 works to 1890 works. Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 09:15, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

wikilivres[edit]

hi;

in case you weren't "in the loop", we're working on getting wl back up (@ a new domain name).

https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource_talk:Wikilivres

btw; last backup is from ~feb 20; if you happen to have saved any copies of work/content/material that is more recent, please do not delete! i do not have access anymore to backup copies of some of the books i've uploaded.

if the old site ever does come back online; we should try to scrape up all of the recent work.

best regards,

Vita Nuova and Wikidata[edit]

It's not a "cock up" on Wikidata. The data structure for works links pages for "works" with each other. So if each Wikisource had a page for Dante's Vita Nuova as a work, then those would all be linked together. However, what you linked to are editions / translations, and each of those has a different translator, publisher, date, etc. So those each get separate data items, and should not be cross-linked with each other.

Yes, it's a headache, but I and others have been pushing for a tool that will correct the problem by automatically checking against the data structure at Wikidata to resolve the linking issue. In the meanwhile, it is always possible for each wikisource to create a "work" page listing translations published in their own language. The French have started doing this, and some Polish and Russian wikisourcers are doing likewise now. The Italians have created a separate namespace to handle the problem. --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Gujarát and the Gujarátis‎[edit]

I already added Category:India when I noticed the work on the "New" List earlier today. I added the category in the header, using the categories= parameter instead of adding it to the bottom. --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:34, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Ok. thank you for telling me. Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 05:36, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
