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!

DNB work, sweet!
In case it is of interest, we have a project to work on the transcription of DNB. You can find out a little more at WikiProject DNB. There are also a few around who are willing to assist. We also have a few editing tricks to make some things easier. All the best. -- billinghurst (talk) 01:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the tips - only doing a couple of articles at the moment for research purposes - makes it easier having it transcribed! Should I add a link to WikiPedia pages? I am refering to Sir Hudson Lowe in particular. Mark.s.shaw (talk) 11:18, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That was how I started, and then found out that I transcribe and research far better than I article write. Re link ... yes, it is a wiki! If they are an author, we do try to link locally first, and WP if unlikely to create an author page.  Note that I did start up Lowe, Hudson (DNB00) which is the Page: section transcluded to our main namespace, we link from the main NS to articles using the DNB00 header. -- billinghurst (talk) 12:29, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
