If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religious texts, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future!

Putting them as subpage?
Gday DonDon. With Lectures on Modern History I was thinking that the works may be best set out as subpages of the work, rather than all as top level pages. Not to say that they wouldn't have redirects for those names at the top of the namespace. We have found with a lot of the poetry that we are running into name conflict, and it becomes an easier means to disambigute works when we have them as subpages. Now I can see that it is less likely to happen with the works that are in this work, however, it has been becoming a useful means to display the works as a collection too. Anyway for your consideration. — billinghurst  sDrewth  16:08, 14 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm down with that. I don't know enough about the available options to have considered that. Also, I don't know how to make it happen.--DonDon-WS (talk) 12:48, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Good work
Just wanted to say, good work on Index:Lectures on Modern History.djvu. Validating the pages you proofed I haven't found many errors at all. If/when your break from WS is over, your continued help on that work will be much appreciated =). —Spangineerwp (háblame) 15:59, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the good words, Spangineer. I'm enjoying the proofreading, but time available comes in spurts and pauses...
 * Question--Is there an established convention for linking an author whose name occurs multiple times? Once per page? per chapter? first time in the entire work? DonDon-WS (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * As a general rule I link the first time it appears in a particular chapter, and then link again if it appears in the next chapter. That's especially true of a work like Acton's, in which the chapters are less related to each other. In a book that continually referred to the same person (in most or every chapter), I would probably only link in the first chapter.  —Spangineerwp (háblame) 01:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
