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! --Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

The Academica English Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms

Thanks very much for contributing here. However, I am afraid that The Academica English Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms (1982) is still copyrighted and so it is not elligible to be hosted here. So unless there is some evidence that the authors released it into public domain or under some free licence, it will have to be deleted. I hope it will not discourage you from further contributions as there are plenty other books which are eligible to be added to Wikisource. For details see WS:What Wikisource includes. Thanks for understanding. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

English and non-English texts

Hello. I have noticed which books you mentioned on your user page. They all look really great and useful! However, English Wikisource accepts only works written in English. If you want to add these books, you may try e. g. Dutch Wikisource or German Wikisource. Unfortunately, independent Afrikaan Wikisource has not been founded yet, but there is Afrikaan section in the multilingual Wikisource.

If you want to contribute to English Wikisource, I would like to draw your attention to more than 14,000 index pages waiting for proofreading here. Or you may want to find someting in archive.org. I can help you to upload the scans and found the index page and you can then proofread it. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:39, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Re: English and non-English texts

If the Afrikaans Wikisource is not here, may I put the german part of the Skoolwoordeboek inside of the German wikisource?

If it is Afrikaan-German dictionary, then I believe that both Afrikaan and German parts should be accepted at German Wikisource. However, they would tell you more details there, as German Wikisource has quite a separate community of contributors. The place to ask questions to German Wikisource contributors is at de:Wikisource:Skriptorium, I am sure they will help you. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 07:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

BTW: If you write four tildes ~~~~ after your contributions at talk pages, it will produce your signature with the time of the contribution. Alternatively, you can use the signature button . --Jan Kameníček (talk) 07:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Reply: I've found a few English texts... however they are too tall to reach from my height. June586 (talk) 13:31, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
