Newbie validation Questions
Questions: 1) When the original document has an italicized word or phrase, should the text being validation also be italicized? (I noticed on other pages, an entire line seem italicized, but I had judged it to be a scanning flaw) (Page:Origin of Species 1859 facsimile.djvu/24)

2)Should folio information (pg#/title/chapter) appear in the text version? If so, what would be the proper coding? 3)Would you share with me a proofed and validated page that has proper coding for: Proper Name reference Folio Photo/Illustration Photo/Illustration with caption

Thank you, in advance, for helping me. I have done some proofing in my job, but wiki and coding really confuse me. Karla


 * Hi Karla, let me add my welcome to the Wikisource community. To answer your questions as best I can:
 * Yes, please replicated italics, bold, and small caps where you see it in the text. You can use the wiki shortcuts for the first two. Italics is surrounded by pairs of single quote marks. For example will look like For example. Bold text is surrounded by triple single quote marks like this like this. (If the text is bold and italic at the same time, then surround with five quote marks!) The easiest way to do small caps is to use a template..
 * The running header on each page should appear in the header box on the page. We do this by using the running header template. I usually use the abbreviated name for this template rh because I'm too lazy to type it out each time. For the /24 page you refer to above the template will look like: 14 . If the running header you are reproducing doesn't have all the fields, then just leave those blank. Have a look at Page:Divorce of Catherine of Aragon.djvu/21 (one of the works I've proofread) for an example where there isn't anything in the left hand field.
 * Photos and Illustrations don't have a single way of managing them. I'll give you a few examples, but the key thing in each is that the image lives at Commons and is linked to from here. Most of the pages in Index:The Boy Travellers in Australasia.djvu have illustrations on them. For many of them I've used img float which allows us to include the caption in the image call. For Page:The Story of Doctor Dolittle.djvu/158 the image is centered so I've used a bare link with size and centered the caption underneath it. A brand-new development is FI. An example of its use is at Page:Popular Science Monthly Volume 17.djvu/215. Which method to use for a particular image will depend on what you are trying to achieve.
 * Hope this is a useful start. I've got this page on my watchlist, so I'll pick up any questions you ask me here. I'm around for the next couple of hours. The most important thing to remember is to have fun. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:36, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
