Tarzan and the Ant Men edit
Hello. I have transcluded the book Tarzan and the Ant Men as I have promised and I am sorry it took me so long. As you might have noticed, I made some minor changes at some of the proofread pages, but overall you did a very good job! The only important thing I want to mention is adding {{nop}} at the end of the pages where the page break coincides with the end of a paragraph (e. g. here). It has to be added in such places to prevent joining the paragraphs in the main namespace after transclusion.
Thanks again for proofreading this book. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- You're welcome! It's been great working with you. In the future, I'll be sure to do that. I'm sorry I wasn't quite up to speed with the nop page break rule. I'm so glad I was able to contribute and help get this book up! (SurprisedMewtwoFace (talk) 22:11, 4 March 2021 (UTC))
This is not ready to be listed on the Main page for two reasons: (1) No license has been placed at the bottom of the work's primary page. Works without a license are not yet completed. (2) The full text has been transcluded twice. The entire book appears in chapters but also on the work's main page. The text should only appear in the chapters, and not in full on the main page. If someone downloaded this book, it would have the full text twice. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Paul Bunyon Book! edit
Between 1850 and 1897(ish) my country (maybe yours also) was at war with itself. When it was over, they threw together a federal school system, created a few "teachers colleges" and started to have a national curriculum. The literature then was mostly from England, because, war and "homesteading" (these are my thoughts about why the literature is mostly Brit). I have started this: Index:State manual and course of study.djvu which has (also, not so complete) Page:State manual and course of study.djvu/161. I search for the books to fill that list. And, as you can see, the list is quite British (with domestic publishers), but they (the Brits) were doing their literature, education, and publication already for a long while.
One of the locals here asked about Paul Bunyon, more important to me as a northern midwest child than johnny appleseed. I was going to search through the "Readers" where they collect stories for classes to read to see if one of them had the story in it. And you have it!
My recommendation: Scan those images anyways, just don't upload them or use them. Actually, they can be uploaded to commons, and when they are "not allowed yet" due to copyright, they get moved offline into a holding server and scheduled for re-entry on the date they can be used.
I would like to help, not take it over, but certainly help.... --RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:50, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'll be working on finding a good place to scan it. I'm glad you're enthusiastic about the project!

- Good News!! No need to scan the whole book (which is dreary work!) But, if you can scan the images. Since Hathi has them available, chances are better that they are allowed (PD). --RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
