Cleanup

I noticed a couple of pages you added "cleanup" tags to: Wikisource:About and Talmud. It is not clear to me what about these pages requires cleanup - maybe it would be better if you added a comment about what you think needs "cleaning" :-) Dovi 07:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikisource:Help

Hi. Yeah, if you want to help renovate that page, it looks like it could use some work. And please, if you want to make it more comprehensive, go right ahead. If you have any questions, I'm always available (especially now that final exams are over), and other members here would be glad to help, too, I'm sure.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 16:52, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

"Expand" template

Hi. When you have an individual text that is only partially typed, it makes sense to leave a message like this for users so that they can go ahead and add more of the test. We have a template like that in he: which is mostly use when texts are "in progress" (so that several people won't bother typing the same thing). It has a picture of a typewriter... :-)

For a something like the Talmud chart-index this makes no sense. This is a massive text with sub-books and sub-sub-books. The red versus blue links are indication enough of what texts have been done and what not. The "expand" message unfortunately does nothing but make the page less aesthetic.

As for the Wikisource:About page, that is meant to be a brief description (like on most websites). Not that someone can't expand it appropriately if they want to - of course they can - but it's not like something is "missing there.

Hope this helps with confusion :-). Dovi 18:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

EB1911 classification

Hi, A discussion has started on Scriptorium [1]about adopting the same classsification for the WS version as was used on the original printed version. This has distinct advantages. Your comments are welcomed. Kind regards. Apwoolrich 18:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Moving Your Files to Wikimedia Commons

Don't worry. He's watching your back. And yes, he's hosted on Commons.

Hello J.Steinbock~enwikisource!

First, thank you for your contributions to Wikisource. Any contributions are always very much appreciated. While searching around, I noticed that you have some files that you uploaded to Wikisource that would probably serve the community better if it was on Wikimedia Commons, a media file repository. You can view your files to see which ones I'm referring to. See the Image Guidelines for more information.

Why should you do this?

As an example, let's pretend you extracted a hard-to-find image from a book written in 1870. If you upload it to Wikisource, only Wikisource users can use it. What if a user from Japan is writing an article about a similar topic? If your file is on Wikisource, it's unlikely he'll find it, and if he's lucky enough to find it, he still won't be able to use it easily. However, if you uploaded it to Commons, it's much more likely he'll find it and be able to use it. (Files hosted on Commons are accessible from any sister project) The same goes for any PDF or DJVU files you upload as well.

• Upload a file to Wikimedia Commons
• Wikimedia Commons Welcome Page
• A guide to contributing content to Wikimedia Commons

Note: To "move" a page from Wikisource to Commons is simple, but somewhat confusing if you don't know how to. First, upload the file to Commons with the same file name as you did here. Add the same information, making sure you put in the correct license. I suggest adding the {{Wikisource image}} template to its Commons page. Then edit the file's page at Wikisource and add the template {{Now Commons}}. Soon an administrator will complete the "move" by deleting the Wikisource copy (as it's no longer needed). You don't need to change any tags on Wikisource as they'll automatically point to the new file. Awesome!

If you have any questions or concerns, don't be afraid to ask.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called J.Steinbock. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name J.Steinbock~enwikisource that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
