Wikisource:WikiProject Proofreading

This WikiProject is reactivating after a long period of inactivity and would greatly benefit from your contributions. Please join if you can do so.

In the last couple of years the proofreading side of Wikisource has dropped far behind rate of acquisition of index files. Last year, 1,300 index files were added and only 106 works were finished. To correct this we need to provide a new framework for proofreaders by presenting opportunities and recognizing achievement.

Goals

  1. To increase the number of active proofreaders on Wikisource
  2. To improve the rate of proofreading from index files
