I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click  [ edit] ) and place  before your question.

Again, welcome! --Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

New International Encyclopaedia
I have reverted your edit to the article Manby, George William in New International Encyclopaedia. Wikisource (unlike Wikipedia) does not try to present "correct" information, it tries to present original texts as they were published. To check the original version you can have a look here. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk pages
Please do not use talk pages to provide commentary on a work, as you have done at Talk:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Hill, Octavia and Miranda. Talk pages are for communicating about issues related to editing our transcription of the work, not for providing corrections to what the work itself says. Relatedly, as has been mentioned above, Wikisource's purpose is to present works as they appeared in the original text, even if parts of the content were incorrect. What the writers of the encyclopedia article wrote may indeed be incorrect, but our presentation of what they wrote needs to be correct. PseudoSkull (talk) 01:29, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
