User talk:Quoth-22

Welcome
Hello,, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here. If you need help, see our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). You can discuss or ask questions from the community in general at the Scriptorium. The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. (Cross posted from Template talk:Author) I am sorry I meant to point you to the larger disscussion here, but I must have forgot. Most anything besides minor changes gets proposed at the Scriptorium as the project is still so small. --BirgitteSB 14:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

'Unneeded redirects' CSD
Hello Quoth. Please note that the criteria for speedy deletion related to unneeded redirects was recently expanded to define 'unneeded' and limit the deletion of possibly-used redirects. According to the new criteria, redirects from titles that existed over a week (such as "The Happiest Day") are not speedy-deletable unless they are soft redirected for two months. To do so, simply replace the redirect with, and it will be soft redirected and placed in the relevant dated category. Thanks. :) // [ admin ] Pathoschild (talk/map) 22:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. Thanks for alerting me to the change :) – Quoth 03:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The Happiest Day
The collection of Poe's poetry I have in my room uses the title "The Happiest Day" (with quotation marks). Many other online sources also have the title in quotations marks. I can't say, though, that I've ever seen it with brackets, although I didn't know that it was an unnamed work.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 02:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I see what you are saying. I don't care really how it's named, so long as we have essential redirects pointing to the title we're using and explain the somewhat nonstandard titling convention in the header on the article page.  So, please, change it to what you want.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 19:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

sandbox idea
I found this styling in your sandbox from what links, I like the neat approach and was aiming for something similar at Plain sister. There is an ongoing discussion on a talk page if you are interested. Cygnis insignis (talk) 07:23, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

style versus effort
Have a wade through this discussion, and perhaps the glean the pros and cons from w:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style which [currently] recommends using straight for simplicity. I think curly quotes looks better for finer print publications, but digital documents and the web carry all sorts of legacy issues. If someone wants a photo-facsimile of something like the first authorised printing of "The Raven", they would need to tweak dozens of things, they would be better off printing the image. I created the text for what was printed, not the subtleties in the analogue coding of the print medium. ATEOTD, is it worth devoting time to this, rather than getting the millions of texts transcribed. Cygnis insignis (talk) 11:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC) P.S. ta, another way is to wrap the RH in a smaller or larger block. 13:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Quoth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Quoth~enwikisource that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:48, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Umm, need a different template schema
Hi. We should not be creating redirects to the Page: namespace from a template. That is contrary to the base operating approach of no cross namespace redirects. If you wish to template, then please do it in the Template: ns, then call it into the page namespace. Thanks. I have tidied to how it would be preferred to do it. — billinghurst  sDrewth  05:04, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi billinghurst, my apologies for causing you work. The original idea was to simply transclude the page contents directly from one page to another to save on having to keep formatting changes on identical pages synchronized, which I did once or twice before realising it wasn't as maintainable or as clear as it could be. So I created the template namespace redirects to give these prototypical pages more familiar names while they're being transcluded, and to allow for easily updating the page references if the pages should ever be moved.
 * I was aware of the general convention of only transcluding templates from the template namespace, but I thought that in the case of whole page templates where very little (or nothing) changes, more benefit would be had by keeping the prototypical page the template is based on in its original location. There it could be as easily compared, proofread, and validated as any other page.
 * Do you know of a more conventional way to accomplish that (perhaps a Page namespace redirect?), or am I entirely misguided in my approach? — Quoth (talk) 22:45, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

EB1911
Hi, thanks for your recent edits and fixes to pages in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. It's great to see someone else making some improvements. In case you haven't read about it before, I've made some converted Gutenberg text available for use in Wikisource, see {Wikisource talk:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. You can use the already-proofed text from Gutenberg to use a s a basis for proofing pages here. I saw you made a change on Page:EB1911 - Volume 06.djvu/921 removing line-breaks - the line-breaks do make it a lot easier to proof-read the page. Also the change from to {{EB1911 fine print| prevents the smaller line height in the template from taking effect, which is one of the reasons the template was created. I've been editing pages using. Keep up the good work of making fixes to the EB1911. DivermanAU (talk) 07:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
