Hi, my name is John. I am an administrator here on English Wikisource, on the Multilingual Wikisource, Latin Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, and an arbitrator on English Wikipedia. I am also the president of Wikimedia Australia.

While you are here, please take the time to look around, and ask me any questions on my talk page, email jayvdb-at-gmail.com, or IRC #wikisource.

The easiest place to start is our Proofread of the Month. It only takes a few minutes to correct a few spelling mistakes.

The current Proofread of the Month is

A Grammar and Vocabulary of the Language of New Zealand  (1928)
by Thomas Kendall.

Last month completed: Little Fuzzy

The next scheduled collaboration will begin in December.

Collaboration of the Week

The current community collaboration is for works related to
the Eminent Women Series.

Last collaboration: Slavery in the United States (1837)


Wikisource has a number of active Wikiprojects that could use
