Hi. Would you be so kind to add the source and license for this work. Generally we would put the source information on Talk:Early Autumn (Langston Hughes) and utilise {{textinfo}} template to enclose the data. Source for us is like citation at English Wikipedia, as we need to identify the edition of the work, and ensure that the work is in the public domain. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Executive Order 13929
editHello. I have noticed that you were trying to found the page Executive Order 13929. I have created the index page of the Executive Order, so if you want, you can proofread the individual pages of the work so that they could be transcluded into the main namespace. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:18, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Can you do it yourself? Pizza0614 (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I have quite a lof of other work that I need to continue with. So if you do not intend to proofread it, I will delete the empty page of the Executive Order. The index page can stay and wait if somebody proofreads it in the future. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 07:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- So how do I proofread it? Pizza0614 (talk) 23:24, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- Basic proofreading is not difficult, you simply go to the index page, choose one of the pages to proofread, check the OCR text on the left against the image on the right, correct it and save it. We usually also try to format the text in a way as faithful to the original as technically possible. All the lines within a paragraph should be joined together. Unfortunately, the work you have chosen contains quite a lot of difficult formatting. I suggest you profread it as best as you can, and I will then check (and possibly also correct) the formatting. Do not bother about the indentation of the first lines of some paragraphs (we usually do not do it here) and also about the side notes (probably too difficult for a beginner, I can do it then). The final signature should be inserted as an image. If you are absolutely sure you did everything well, you change the status of the page for "proofread" (yellow button), otherwise leave the status as "not proofread" (red button). You can also check Help:Beginner's guide to proofreading and Help:Proofread. Do not hesitate to ask any questions either here or at WS:Scriptorium, I or somebody else will surely help. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for starting the proofreading. I have only put the header of the document into the header section, which is not transcluded to the main namespace. I personally would prefer to transclude it too, but previous Executive Orders have it in this way (see e. g. Executive Order 13928) and so we should be consistent. If a paragraphs ends at the bottom of the page, the template {{nop}} has to be added there, otherwise this paragraph would be joined together with the first paragraph of the following page after the transclusion. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
