Welcome to Wikisource

Hello, Fritzelblitz, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

 

You may be interested in participating in

Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{Collaboration/MC}} 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.

Have questions? Then please ask them at either

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 username if you're logged in (or IP address if you are not) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 14:37, 15 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

DNB articles edit

Thanks for the contributions, most recently to Pierrepont, Evelyn (1665?-1726) (DNB00). I added format which you can see in the history of Page:Dictionary of National Biography volume 45.djvu/270, in particular the small capitals with {{sc}}. (Also the page needed disambiguation.)

We should also point you towards Wikisource:WikiProject DNB where we hopefully have addressed questions that you may have about how we have been working with the DNB.

With sections, if you are using the new style
##blah blah blah##
these are only need to be entered at the start of each new section; as they are closed by the start of a new section, or #### (4x#) or the end of the page. The alternative section tags, eg. <section begin="Leveson-Gower, Harriet Elizabeth Georgiana (1806-1866)"/> do need to open and close. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:37, 15 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Even easier way to link from an author page is using {{DNB link|Gower, John}}. We are lazy with so many to do. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
