Digital document badge at Wikidata
Hello, I have noticed that in Wikidata you add the digital document badge to various links to Wikisource entries. However, the badge should be used only to born-digital documents, not to all WS documents. See the "also known as" at Q28064618, or d:Talk:Q28064618, or the request for creating the badge at phabricator. -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Jan Kameníček Good to know and I will take your word for it. I have been a little on sometimes and off sometimes with the badges....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 23:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Birdcraft/Untitled-Andrew Lang
I see that you created this page a few years ago. I assume that it was intended for the poem which appears at the top of Page:Birdcraft-1897.djvu/15. Do you think that poem should have a separate page ? -- Beardo (talk) 22:30, 15 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I realise that the poem was supposed to appear but for some reason wasn't. I changed the style of transclusion to get it to appear. -- Beardo (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Beardo Sorry it took so long to get back. I did that before I learned about handling those things and in the last 8 months need a refresher for all that I used to know. I will look into this when I get my chops back....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 21:39, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Beardo So I poked through a couple of "What Links Here" links and found that the Lang poem is listed on Andrew Langs author page. I did this before knowing of Wikidata and also before knowing of anchor.  Wikidata does not like anchor links, but wikidata also accepts redirects.  So, your thoughts and heck! even desires for this as it is a challenge to look back for me here.  I will just manage it the way you think best.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Welcome back!!! PseudoSkull (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * PseudoSkull! Was that you and Micky Mouse on Public Domain Day!  Either answer, it was a beautiful thing, right then and there.  (Glad to be back....)--RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was me. It was released to Wikisource at the exact moment of 12:00 AM EST January 1, 2024. Glad you're enjoying the 1928 film transcription efforts. PseudoSkull (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Nice to see you’re back again! I look forward to seeing your pretty illustrations. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 04:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you’re interested in doing some image work, I’ve just finished proofreading Isis Very Much Unveiled, an early Rackham publication. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 06:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * WOW! That might be the greatest AR book ever! TE(æ)A,ea., right on it (after even more decorative rules). --RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Rapunzel
Please repair this page. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * EncycloPetey: I dropped a note with CalenduaAstaceae. If it is not a quick fix, I will make a data for the "nil entry" there.  I think it is not a quick fix, that it might be in one of the two base wikidata modules.  It would be nice to have it fixed there so any thing using it after could bring in the name, even if there is no data for it.  If it is what I suspect.


 * Personally, I was uncomfortable making a data for "Miss Farq-whatever", not even a first name, but I can get over that if CA doesn't want to muck around in the base modules. If that is what it is.


 * Thanks for pointing it out!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 00:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Millions of Cats
You tagged this work with a license PD-US and death year for the author of 1928. She actually died in 1946. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:50, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * EncycloPetey: I should have used PD-old ?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 12:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Answered my own question. Author did not die over 100 years ago. (adding "reading licenses" to TODO list...)--RaboKarbakian (talk) 12:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you just put the wrong death year into the template. You should have used 1946, not 1928.  She did not die in 1928. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Index:Atlas of the Munsell Color System
I found this - https://archive.org/details/sim_optical-society-of-america-journal_1940-12_30_12/page/587/mode/1up

It might help you recalibrate or produce an SVG version? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * ShakespeareFan00 That is a great page, but to convert all of that into the linear algebra; I don't know how to do this off the top of my head. I am not sure if I could have done this while in the linear algebra class either.  I got the formula for determining Y' from w:Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice and that was necessary for all of those online converts and such.  I was thinking my old scripts might find their way back to me (that perhaps my four day outing will finally after 10+ years be over).  That (great) textbook, while available, is not up for loans via my inter-state library system here.


 * Those color conversions at my university, were "Elementary Linear Algebra"; which was a very difficult class for me. Later, Linear Algebra (which was mostly proofs) was so freaking easy.  I still revile at the correct yet wrong naming of those classes.  Not sure how other universities handle that.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:05, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries. But it was a potential starting point. And in a few years time we get the actual "Book of Color" in the public domain:). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * BTW If the journal issue I mentioned is out of copyright it would be nice to get onto Wikisoruce soon. That way someone else can use the data table.
 * I also found a 1967 set of calibration data, but its (C) status is little less clear.

 * Per this useful page, the first J.O.S.A. issue to be renewed was from volume 41, much later than the volume 30 you found. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 16:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Come January next year, Wikisource will be placed to work on having at least 2 color standards up;)
 * It's a shame I don't know anyone that could use this old papers to come up with a Lua module on wiki so we can have a color classfication scheme that isn't based on proprietary information.

 * IA is missing some issues of V30. Hathi has them limited search only, but it looks like the University of California has scanned all volumes.  Searching WorldCat showed me many many pages of university/college libraries that have them (hard copy, mostly).  There is, however, a public library toggle https://search.worldcat.org/title/1334208 for the unenrolled.  --RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For the specfic issue - Index:Journal of the Optical Society of America, volume 30, number 12.pdf. I also did a lot of cross referencing to find it :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * https://archive.org/details/pub_optical-society-of-america-journal is the run as IA has it. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * ShakespeareFan00 I just made a request at Scan Lab for the rest of the issues. I also am really needing to step through some tutorials for the svgs.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
