Colonel Jack
Hello. I am very sorry that your attempt to add the text was falsely caught by our edit filter, it was an apparent mistake. The filter was corrected, so if you want, you can add the text again. Just do not forget to give the source of the text on its talk page.

Besides that, we strongly prefer texts proofread from uploaded scans to copypasted texts. If you agreed, I could upload e. g. these scans and show you how to proofread them.

I apologize for the filter again. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:39, 8 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for telling me this. I am trying to find out how Wikisource works with little success. I would be happy to add the scans and proofread but I can't find the page to add works now. Msnoname24 (talk) 13:38, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded the scan of the first volume to Commons and founded the index page here, see Index:Life of Colonel Jack (1810).djvu. I have also proofread first three pages so that you could have a look a them. I suggest you start proofreading the chapters first, the title page and contents can be done later, as they have quite difficult formatting; I can help with these too.
 * When you click on some of the pages, e. g. on page 4, you will see the scanned page on the right and an editing window with OCR text on the left. The OCR text needs to be proofread and corrected. If the OCR is too bad (and it often is), you can click the OCR button in the top and get a new OCR.
 * After it is all proofread, I will show you how to transclude it to the main namespace.
 * Do not hesitate to ask for help whenever needed. I hope you will enjoy the proofreading :-) --Jan Kameníček (talk) 15:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I can see you have started proofreading. Just a little advice: when a paragraphs ends at the bottom of a page, it is necessary to add the template (like here), so that it is not joined with the following paragraph from the following page after transclusion. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:15, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikisource does not editorialize. The text should match its source copy, even if the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation do not match modern conventions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
