For They Know Not What They Do
What is the source for this text? All works host here must provide the source from which the text was obtained. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Do you read edit summaries? I don't know where else to indicate the source because I'm a new user (familiar with Wikipedia in prior times).
 * Serious question: I'd like to contribute more material that's already been transcribed elsewhere to Wikisource--including my own transcriptions, which I do offline and am not interested in doing using the Wikisource interface because I don't like it.
 * I get the vague feeling I shouldn't bother. Lawren Harris (talk) 18:21, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, the vibe of these projects now is always negative, the first interaction if any with me being the old "tag and chastise". Thus the last sentence. Lawren Harris (talk) 18:23, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit summaries are never a good place to put sources; sources on any project should be placed into text. Wikisource no longer accepts secondary transcriptions from places like Project Gutenberg. Nor does Wikisource accept Franken-editions that result from combining two different sources.. Therefore, this copy has been deleted. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Wiki projects have reached the point where any of them can run off a productive new contributor in less than 24 hours. It's genuinely fascinating how bad you folks are at interacting with people.

I would ask where this policy about what you accept is laid out, because I can't find anything about it; but what's the point? You will make your "authority" known any way you can find.
 * It's in one of our core documents: What Wikisource includes under the heading about secondhand transcription. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:43, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
