Directory?
editIs it possible to employ a directory for each subsection as opposed to the current set up involving adding a new page? It would make linking in the headers much easier.
Please reply. I would especially like to hear from the page creator/creation team.
Thanks
- The cureent set-up is incorrect. I will fix it to use subpages. --BirgitteSB 02:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Incomplete headings
editVarious chapters have incomplete headings. For one thing, they are not marked-up, being set in all-caps. For another, some headings are completely missing. Also, I have some doubts that the body text is complete. --Dan Polansky 11:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Source of the Text
editWhatever the source of the text, BBC Evolution Weekend - The Origin of Species Online seems to have the same edition of the text. --Dan Polansky 13:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I am currently working on uploading the 1859 edition. John Vandenberg (chat) 08:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have added one edition. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Outlines
editI have started adding outlines to individual chapters, following the original editions. The outlines cannot be replaced with mere tables of contents generated by the wiki software: The outlines consist of titles different from those actually used as section headings. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Index file
editI've transformed the text into PR-Format and corrected it (following the original 1872/3 edition, Index:Origin of Species 1872.djvu), --D.H (talk) 12:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
