Your own works or other self-published works

 * I wrote a story/book/paper/blog post. Can I post my own work here if I freely license it?
 * Only if it has been published in some formal way (i.e. not via a vanity press). Generally, this means in a periodical (commercial newspaper or magazine, or scientific journal ), or published by a publisher in some format (book, ebook, audiobook, etc).


 * I published a story/book/paper/blog post. Do I have to give up my copyright to post it here?
 * No, but you must grant the right to anyone to reuse your work, for free, make any changes they wish and be able to re-sell the work. You will not be able to revoke such permission. You can require attribution. A common license is CC-BY-SA.


 * I want to let people read it by not profit from it. Can I do that?
 * Not at Wikisource. Users must have the ability to do anything they with your work, including selling it with or without changes they made. Notably, CC-BY-NC licenses are impermissible.


 * I have a compiled family genealogy, but it wasn't technically published. Can I put it on Wikisource?
 * Which this is not technically allowed under scope rules, it's always possible to ask for an exception if you think the work would add to Wikisource. You can ask at the Scriptorium. The requirement to freely license it stands, so make sure you talk to whoever compiled it first.

Proofreading

 * Which bits do I proofread?
 * Basically, the "work as published". You do not need to proofread ex-libris stickers, library barcodes, card holders, stamps, watermarks, or other additions.


 * What about all the adverts for other books at the front/back of the book?
 * These are optional, you can proofread and transcluded them if you wish, but you do not have to.


 * What about the index?
 * Technically, this should be proofread and transcluded.
