Current work

This is all current work but the items in this section have been indexed in WS and require editing as opposed to searching out source material:

• Three Books of Occult Philosophy - (index) - proofreading and creating new mainspace pages, need tables and images
• Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy - (index) - proofreading and creating new mainspace pages, need tables and images
• The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (1774) - (index) - proofreading
• The Complete Confectioner (1800) - (index) - proofreading started
• Shaving Made Easy - (index)- done
• The Husbandman and Housewife - (index) - proofreading started
• Meat for Thrifty Meals - (index) - other editors uploaded and started at my suggestion, I've done a little work on it; proofreading and image upload are underway
• The Art of Distillation - (index) - proofreading started but needs djvutext2.py to derive starting text
• The poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus (Cornish) - (index)
• The Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (index)
• A Treatise on the Law of the Prerogatives of the Crown (index)
• The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche edited by Oscar Levy (vol. 10 index)
• The International Jew by Henry Ford (vol.1 index)

• associated Author pages, dabs, and work to be done at commons.

I am also working on cleaning up the help pages.

I'm working on the following as well that others have uploaded or started:

• The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - Match and split?
• Essays, civil and moral (Harvard Classics) (Index:The Harvard Classics Vol. 3.djvu) - Needs to be matched and split then the rest of the book can be derived from the OCR using djvutext2.py

To Do

• Request automatic approval for Interwiki-Bot on ko, vi, etc
• Ideas for and discussion of where to put all the data about a text: User:Inductiveload/metadata
• Identification of authors with links to non-existent wikipedia or wikiquote pages and removal of the links, see this discussion for related material - User talk:Ineuw#links to wikipedia.2C PSM authors - although I came across this long after running scripts to identify these.
• Removal of {{TextQuality}} from all pages where there is an index invoked.
• Investigate the loss of the final page number where there's a
  wrapper.

  • Eg. of both of the previous issues: Cakes, Cookies and Confections

    - oddly in this special case <pages index="Cakes, cookies and confections.djvu" from=5 to=8 /> works

    -Compare also this work Shaving_Made_Easy, a combination of the page transclusion methods was used.

• Help Spangineer with Index:Two Treatises of Government.djvu
• Full implementation of the text switching and link hiding functions of User:Inductiveload/Visibility.js
• Evaluate {{sup}} - it appears to use deprecated code and is used in some unusual ways
• Help transcribe Index:1888 Cicero's Tusculan Disputations.djvu
• Clean up some of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and find scans for them all.
• Plus up Author:Hermann Hesse and set up some of his works
• Merge {{Versions}} with {{Translations}}
• Develop a header template for serials
  • Consider this Wikisource:Periodicals
  • This Wikisource:WikiProject_Newspapers/New York Times
  • And this Wikisource:WikiProject Popular Science Monthly/Popular Science
• Look for ways to incorporate these into here and other projects: w:Wikipedia:Database_reports
• Make my common.js look nice and organized, sort of like this
• Category:Templates that can be substituted - anytime
• Y DoneComplete the deprecation of:
  • {{Wikisourcelang}}
  • {{Wikisource author}}
• Y DoneFigure out why these are on ws, they are copies of templates on wp that have moved and are subject to change over there
  • {{Wikisource1911Enc}} - And this one's not even very good
  • {{Wikisource1911Enc Citation}}

Scans to locate for works we have

• Beowulf
• The Canterbury Tales
• The Pearl (and related works)
• Fanny Hill (text here as well)
• Ecclesiastical history (Socrates)

Work on getting specific texts

John Dee

Journal of the Western Mystery Tradition John Dee.Com

Texts On WS that I find particularly intriguing

Maybe I'll work on them, maybe I'll read them

• Index:The White House Cook Book.djvu via Mattwj2002 as of 2011-01-03 - no mainspace
• The Gateless Gate
• Index:Horse shoes and horse shoeing.djvu
• Index:The duties of masters and slaves respectively (1845).djvu

Various pages I had an open tab on and couldn't figure out why later

• Index:CromwellHugo.djvu

Pages on WS that I find particularly helpful

Examples, nice ways to do things, good style, etc.

• List of Plants collected by the Officers, &c., in Captain Ross's voyage, on the coasts of Baffin's Bay - a good example of the use of {{versions}}
• The Bell Buoy / The Bell Buoy (comparison) - an example
• Quatrains of Omar Khayyam (tr. Whinfield, 1883) - good custom set up of a side-by-side translation of poetry - Inductiveload's work
• Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper - layout of a book where many of the images are displayed, there's a pdf download available, and the page numbers have been set in the transclusion; also the "For other versions, see" is better than {{similar}}
• Hudibras/Part_1/Canto_1
• Index:The Cambridge History of American Literature, v1.djvu
• Cartoon portraits and biographical sketches of men of the day
• Page:Miscellaneous Papers on Mechanical Subjects.djvu/39
• Index:Picturesque New Zealand, 1913.djvu - nice TOC - how was that done?
• Sacred Books of the East - nice example of using a table for a listing of volumes of a multi-volume set
• Works of Aristotle - another example of using a table for multi-volume set
• The Roman Centurion's Song - heavily wikified text.

More {{versions}}:

• Bible
• Qur'an

{{Disambiguation}}:

• Fables

Pages on WS that I find particularly unhelpful or problematic

• Masefield
  • - duh - at the time I posted this here the article looked like this, the problem was with the sister link which was just plain dumb, this was an example of a systemic problem with sister links which has been largely - though not entirely - addressed.
• The Wizardry of George H. Earle, Jr. - more duh - same as above, though this one hasn't been edited since January which disproves my belief that a bot had taken care of these sister links. In case someone changes this one by hand, it looked like this on 18 August 2011 when I made this note.
• Wikisource:Sister projects - this is the reason for this section
• Template:Cleaning/Category:Cleaning - do we really need this? See Template:Cleanup/Category:Clean up and also the link in the template to wp:cleanup, really?

Templates

• Template:Tlx
• {{disambiguation}}
• {{versions}}
• {{translations}} - why? {{versions}} can or should be able to do all the same things, every translation is also a version but many versions are not translations and there are only 31 instances of this template in mainspace (vice over 200 of {{versions}}
• {{similar}} - uggh!
• {{Plain sister}}
• {{Side by side}}
• {{side by side pages}} - has trouble with display in template space
• {{columns}}
• Template:Tlx
• {{!}} - was ist? and documentation sucks.
• {{long s}} and {{ct}} - and do we need a template Template:Latinv and Template:Latinu and other similar templates?
• {{right sidenote}} - compare la:ws:Formula:Nota_marginalis
• {{Ext scan link}} - pretty cool, output text may be able to be improved - used on only a few handfuls of pages but could be used more
• {{Small scan link}} - also cool, output text is sort of redundant sounding - more used than the above
• {{closed}}

{{Need image}} - created by me, I consider this the best

Tools

• stats between ws's - just a curiosity add "?diff=30" for last 30 days
