An Inn for Journeying Thoughts (1912)
Hi Gloucester1692,

I noticed you were having some trouble with An Inn for Journeying Thoughts (1912). I have posted our standard welcome message above, which contains some links that you might find helpful. You might in particular want to refer to Help:Adding texts which addresses some of the things you were having trouble with.

In short, a scanned book uploaded top Wikimedia Commons as  has to be matched by an index page here on English Wikisource named   (the software uses the filename to associate the two). On the index page here you add a  that maps the physical page in the PDF or DjVu file to the logical page number in the original book (for example, in this work, the page numbered 15 in the original book is actually in position 19 in the scanned file). Based on that pagelist, the software will create links to individual pages of the form  (for the page at position "123" in the PDF or DjVu file).

Once that is set up you do the proofreading (transcription and formatting) on each individual page. Once all pages are finished, we transclude (combine) them together for presentation using the  tag.

Do please feel free to ask if you need assistance with anything!

In any case, to help you get started I have regenerated and uploaded a DjVu version of the scan for this work at File:An Inn for Journeying Thoughts (1912).djvu. I then renamed (moved) the index you had created to match this filename, so it is now at: Index:An Inn for Journeying Thoughts (1912).djvu. I then filled in the pagelist in the index page (you can see the changes I made here). It should now be ready for you to proofread each of the pages linked there.

The page you had created at An Inn for Journeying Thoughts was incorrectly set up and since this page is where we'll display the work once it is finished, I have deleted it. Feel free to recreate it once the proofreading is finished (and feel free to ask for assistance with that if you need it). --Xover (talk) 06:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Chapters From the New Apocrypha
I noticed, among this set, The Parable of the Blind Man, which was listed neither at the base page, nor given in the index. I can scan-back that page, if you can add that section from The Open Court to the .pdf file. Thank you for adding this, by the way. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:36, 29 June 2020 (UTC).
