I read business non-fiction and noticed that many modern authors are not on WikiSource. So I am testing the waters on adding authors. Looked online but found no videos on adding authors and titles. I am very much a beginner with HTML but foolishly brave to dive in. If you have a moment to spare, please let me know how to improve the 4 contributions I made today.

 * Wikisource focuses on works in the public domain, rather than those under copyright. So the author namespace is to capture listings of authors' works that are able to be reproduced or authors mentioned in such works. We are not a listing service of modern author and their works. That would misrepresent who we are and there are plenty of other sites that look at that aspect, even have a listing within Wikipedia articles for authors that meet notability. — billinghurst  sDrewth  03:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh ok, got it. Didn't realize that author works must be in the public domain. Thanks for the heads up. Ashabnama (talk) 21:40, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
