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!

Interest
I'm curious what your interest is with Theodore Winthrop, is he a distant relation? Makes me wonder now just how many people have him as a great^n uncle. -- BlindWanderer (talk) 14:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * He is no relative that I know of. The story actually began on Wikipedia, where someone had posted a hoax article. I was googling for a word supposedly given in the hoax article so that I could prove it was a hoax and I ran across The Canoe and the Saddle by Winthrop. I read the book, found it highly interesting, and decided to post it on Wikisource. Then I read some of his other works and thought that they were worth posting also. Good author, in the somewhat flowery 19th-century style. Life of Riley (talk) 04:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
