Welcome
Hello, 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:
Please consider putting a brief description of yourself on your user page. If you are already a contributor to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia, please mention this on your user page so we know how to contact you. Also, mention which languages you understand if English is not your first language.
In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) 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!
p.s. thank you for figuring out what those numbers represented. John Vandenberg 01:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Following on from the blog post, I found your wiki! :-) Immediately I noticed that your collection of works by "Joshua King Ingalls" is exceptional, and has many unique digital works. My first reaction was to consider copying them all to Wikisource, but instead I created Author:Joshua_King_Ingalls, and I will leave it at that for now. If you ever do want to migrate them to Wikisource, I can import them quite easily.
Wikisource also permits Annotations, and we dont mind a bit of experimentation. An example is Copyright Law Revision (House Report No. 94-1476), which has an Annotated version. There are some users who would prefer that "value-adding" is not conducted on Wikisource; instead they suggest that once the source has been transcribed, and translated if necessary, a literature wikibook should be created to accompany it. If you did decide to experiment on Wikisource, you and your team would be mostly left alone to figure it out as you go. Each "work" is given latitude to be constructed a bit differently. The Wikisource group are largely still making it up as we go. John Vandenberg (chat) 05:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
hello,
I deleted the index page you created because it is French. please upload the djvu to commons and create the index at fr.wikisource ThomasV 04:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about this; I will fix all this up immediately. John Vandenberg (chat) 05:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have set up the transcription project on the French Wikisource project, and can upload OCR of these pages if you would like. see fr:Discussion Utilisateur:Libertatia. John Vandenberg (chat) 05:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
