Links on authors pages

I note that you wrote "we do not link from names of works to anything else but the works itself" - where is that rule stated ? That conflicts with the examples shown at Help:Author_pages#Works_about_the_author which show linking to authors and translators. -- Beardo (talk) 19:49, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me about it, that was a misunderstanding on my part, partly caused by non-standard format of the entries and mostly by me being too quick with reading the text and too slow with comprehending it.

One of the entries was 1925 Geoffrey Scott, The portrait of Zélide,... (instead of the usual The portrait of Zélide by Geoffrey Scott, and I was reading it absolutely nonsensically as a 1925 book called "Geoffrey Scott, The portrait of Zélide", and so I removed the link to the author from what I thought was the title of a book. I apologize for that, I have already reverted it. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 20:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Noted - thanks. -- Beardo (talk) 02:09, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Not the title

Your move was odd, and not supported by any discussion or reasoning I could find. Moving a brief to a title that does not appear on the work; is not the title used in the literature; and is not discussed anywhere is an odd thing to do. Your move result was the word being discussed, and the name of the company applying. You moved a brief about the trademarking of a company name to that company's name, which is not something I have even seen done on Wikisource. This is why I moved it back to the more reasonable location where it has resided for some time. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:09, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Well, the current "title" is not anywhere in the work mentioned, so I chose to call it by the "mark" from the table. However, I have no strong opinion on this so if my solution is opposed, I am fine with that. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 08:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Undelete Translation:Song of Everlasting Regret?

Hello,

I have noticed that in October 2024, you asked Alien333 (talk • contribs) to delete that Wikisource translation because of a lack of a "scan-supported original language work" on Chinese Wikisource. I think you might want to review zh:長恨歌, since it does come from a scanned page (Page 35 of File:Sibu Congkan0728-白居易-白氏長慶集-24-05.djvu). 2603:3021:3A96:0:883D:2F8C:7F63:BAFB 15:32, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

That page isn't proofread, and isn't transcluded there.

The file contains another edition of the same work, but it doesn't look like the mainspace page uses that edition. The mainspace page has the character 回 at the beginning of the fourth line. It does not occur in the cited page. — Alien  3

Agree with Alien. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:12, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
