Hello, Progressingamerica, 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:

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 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! --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Adding sources with textinfo box

If memory serves, there are some readers and contributors who are not always able to access links to Google books, etc. If it is not too much trouble, perhaps, for you to use the {{textinfo}} box for that purpose, writing out the source info (with as much detail as you can) as well as supplying the link? See example. Thanks :) Londonjackbooks (talk) 00:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual

Each document on Wikisource is cited to the source copy of the text. If there is another source for the same text, then that copy should be created as a separate edition, not included in with another copy. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:22, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Licensing

Please remember to always include a suitable license whenever you add a new work to Wikisource. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:22, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Adding authors to Wikidata items

G'day. When we create an author page, we will generally find that Wikidata has an item for that person. That being the case, we can link the created author page at Wikidata (eg. J. Hunter Guthrie (Q60526193)) which enables us to draw in extra data fields like birth year, death year, their image, etc. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:26, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
