Talk:Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

More versions

There are several versions of the story that have been created, but apparantly not yet transcluded:

• Index:Ali Baba, or, The forty thieves, destroyed by Morgiana, a female slave.pdf
• Index:Ali Baba, or, The forty thieves (1).pdf
• Index:Ali Baba, or, The forty thieves (2).pdf
• Index:Ali Baba, or, The forty thieves (4).pdf

Shouldn't we proceed with these ? -- Beardo (talk) 22:39, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

@Beardo: Yes, indeed, feel free to work on these. But these look like a product of the bulk upload + transcription effort initiated by the National Library of Scotland. These can sometimes have variable qualities, and were uploaded without always a lot of discrimination. i.e. some keen judgement may be needed before transcluding.

@Xover - thanks. Is that project still active ? There seem a lot of documents partly completed.

In the case of Ali Baba, a couple of those seem fully or largely validated. But yes, the fourth one is a mess, with lots of pages not having scanned into the crease of the binding. What should be done about things like that ? -- Beardo (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
