Redundancies

 * M&S or scan-back: Reflections on the Revolution in France
 * Special:Contributions/Notafly—Lots of cut&paste unformatted and unsourced; need to go through and do something about these.
 * Reboot WS:IGD? Or create something new? Are there enough interested people to warrant a separate venue?
 * Modernise The Ballad of Reading Gaol
 * Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:TOCright is a good list of works needing to be modernised and scan-backed
 * scan back The School for Scandal
 * File:Electra of Euripides (Murray) Chart I.png and File:Electra of Euripides (Murray) Chart II.png should be converted to
 * File:Ellis Yeats Blake table before page 8.jpg—convert to table markup
 * File:Examples of indicators for assessing the critical nature of the financial system’s parts.jpg—convert to table markup
 * File:The tale of two travellers.djvu should be used to scan-back this page, if it is possible to do so (there were apparently concerns raised over the feasibility of using the file, due to its poor quality);
 * Index:Grimm's Household Tales, vol.1.djvu (+vol. 2) needs to be completed
 * The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night
 * Move to portal and clean up transcription: Lambda Papers

 * The Betrothal needs subpage cleanup and scan-backing
 * The adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan: clean up, standard subpage scheme, delete concatenated version, look for source

 * Experimental researches in electricity
 * A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism—migrate to scan, fix up monster toc; empty out Category:A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism
 * Attack Special:PagesWithoutScans in some structured way. Add a maint cat so we can progress them stage by stage? No scan -> ext scan linked -> ssl -> tagged with migrate to -> matched and split -> proofread? Too many to do solo so need to engage community on the project.
 * Index:With Lawrence in Arabia (1924).djvu (to proofread)
 * Figure out the heck is going on with Author:Peter John Bolton. Have these been previously published, or are they original compilations?

 * Figure out what to do about File:Weasel 1.ogg, File:Weasel 2a.ogg, File:Weasel 2b.ogg, File:Weasel 3a.ogg, and their associated transcripts. They are missing copyright / licensing information, are not previously published (allegedly uploaded by someone on the mission, so neutrality was never in the cards), are edited (to avoid embarrassing the persons featured engaging in "locker room talk"), of unknown provenance (where the heck did these radio/cockpit recordings end up in the hands of the uploader?), and the transcriptions are heavily annotated.
 * The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (Creasy)—Move dab to main title, consolidate volumes, fix page names, split into chapter subpages
 * Nice overview of Howard copyright. Need to find some better place than here to stash it for future reference since we have about a million texts from Howard.
 * Also: this
 * And: this
 * Figure out a good way to do the side-by-side on The Apocryphal New Testament (1924)/Passion Gospels/The Gospel of Nicodemus, probably using a full-bleed Grid layout (which, yes, will require rewriting pagenumbers.js, sigh)
 * Match&Split A Latin Dictionary?
 * Check back in on Translation:On the Self-governing Special Administrative Territory of Transcarpathia, 1992 (draft), cf. WS:PD#Undelete The Law of Ukraine: On the Self-governing Special Administrative Territory of Transcarpathia, 1992 (draft)
 * All categorized pages with no lowercase letters in title, excluding court citation redirects—Crap titles that need to be fixed (and probably some of it is crap content too)
 * diff: How can Structured Data on Commons, Wikidata, and Wikisource walk hand in hand?
 * Find some approach to tackling the backlog in https://phetools.toolforge.org/not_transcluded/en.html

 * Guy de Maupassant
 * Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail

 * The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night is a… project.
 * The Wood Beyond the World has a subpage structure based on the LibriVox sound file division of chapters (three chapters to a part).
 * Camera Craft?
 * Index:Work (1873).djvu
 * Research copyright status of File:MU KPB 033 Rubiat of Omar Rayyam.pdf and File:MU KPB 034 Parsifal.pdf. Cf. deletion discussion here (somewhat prematurely closed) and undeletion request on Commons. The crux is whether they were first or simultaneously published in the US, and if so they go back to Commons. If not they probably can't stay here either.
 * File:The Mysteries of Paris (1843).djvu
 * To clean out: User:MGA73/Sandbox
 * Help:Adding images really needs improvement.
 * Go through to clean up the remnants of the old book creator
 * locus sigilli needs options for stroke and font weight, since it starts looking comical at larger sizes
 * Have a look at Author:Aphra Behn, and at the state of female authors in general on the project. Especially the Pre-1950 Utopias and Science Fiction by Women. Could we organise something that could interest RED etc. and recruit from enWP?
 * Explore whether proofreading Camera Craft magazine is feasible. Could it be a trial balloon for a new standard(ish) way to do periodicals?
 * Import
 * File:Ellis Yeats Blake table before page 8.jpg needs to be incorporated into a scan, and it should be transcribed as a table for presentation. It's also not p. 8; it seems to appear in the prolegomena, after the last half-title but before p. 3 (the opening of the foreword).
 * Investigate Eugène Sue, Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail, Maurice Leblanc, and related authors.
 * Palmerin of England, cf.
 * Wetter New York cf.
 * Ivanhoe (unsourced) and Kenilworth (Scott)
 * Follow up on User:MGA73/Sandbox
 * Rename File:Life·of·Seddon•James·Drummond•1907.pdf and associate artefacts to get rid of the nonsense characters
