Fables for the Frivolous
Hi there. Thanks for all the work you've done on this book. I've done the transclusion and have validated everything I can. There are 7 pages left at 'proofread' status which I can't validate. If you can validate these, then the job's done. If you're new to this, you might want to go to 'Preferences', then 'Gadgets' and put a tick in the box next to 'Mark pages I can validate', which should let you see which pages you can work on in the 'Index' page of a work.I've not encountered this author before; his work is witty - I particularly liked the one about the raven.

Of Human Bondage
Wikisource no longer uses Roman numerals for chapter subpages. We use Arabic numerals for chapter numbers. The old pages will either be moved to the correct names, or will be deleted once the current project is transcribed and transcluded at the correct locations. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:42, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Spaces
Hey there, I'm a new user! I was validating some of the pages you've transcribed for A Tale Of Two Cities, and noticed that your empty lines all had a space in them. Is there a reason for that? Aaron Liu (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The empty spaces are abundant and have no further relevance. Some of them may be present because they may be results of copy-pasting the text from other files on my computer where I might not have pruned white spaces at the end of lines; others my not be mine at all but residuals from other editors. In short, you can delete spaces in empty lines (but not the empty lines themselves, of course, because they separate paragraphs.) R. J. Mathar (talk) 18:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia links
When the Wikidata pages are set up correctly, we do not have to link to the Wikipedia article here. Wikidata handles that. I set up the Wikidata items after updating our copy here, so the explicit link is no longer necessary. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
