Annotations
Can I draw your attention to Annotations? The footnote that you are adding to the Swift work is not in the text as printed. The only way it can be added here is for a second copy of the text to be created and then annotated within the guidelines of that page. I will remove the spurious (but interesting) footnote for a second time. If it is readded, I will have to protect the page from editing. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:59, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Grammar notes?
I see plenty of notes concerning Swift's grammar "issues." Obviously, they are not in the original text. Why are they allowed? Mine is an explanatory note that should help readers understand the text. It's more relevant than any grammar note. Why is it not allowed.Imackeev (talk) 08:19, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The grammar notes I've seen are in this printed edition of the complete works and therefore should be reproduced in our hosted version of this edition. If there is another printed edition with the type of explanatory footnotes you would like to add, then by all means upload that edition and we will happily host both editions. If there are a lot of notes like this one that you want to add, then the best hosting venue is WikiBooks. Our goal at WikiSource is to provide the text as printed in a digital version—with some wikification such as author links. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:38, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
