Three stories
Thanks very much for validating pages of the Three Stories by V. Hálek. However, we do not indent individual paragraphs with spaces like you did e. g. here. Do not also remove the and  templates, please. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 07:44, 7 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Further to this. Our Manual of Style in paragraphs 4 & 5 of the Formatting section states to not indent first line of paragraphs and to leave a blank line between. This is the norm across all of our works and is expected that all editors here will follow such. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 09:12, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Besides what has been written above, I would like to ask you to stop removing other templates too, as well as links to author pages, italics etc. Do not edit war with established users who know local rules better than you do, as did here. If you continue in this way, you can be blocked from further editing. I do advice you to read various help pages linked in the welcome message above before you continue editing. Thanks for understanding. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:09, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * good afternoon.
 * i appreciate your time to oversee my work.
 * i would like to tell me the templates and the italics you are talking about that am removing. humble request SM DENIS (talk) 11:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * For example here you removed the template which marks non-English words. Here you removed italics from the word mine and here three times from the word "you". The italics is present in the original text, so it should be mirrored in our transcriptions too. If it was just a mistake, then it is OK, mistakes may happen. Hope you will enjoy editing here. Whenever you need, you can ask either me directly here or anybody at WS:Scriptorium/Help. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:36, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * thanks for your kind advise. am going to adjust on my edits for better. thank you very much. i have understood your point. SM DENIS (talk) 11:40, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello. So now all the pages of the book are validated, that’s great, thanks very much. Empty pages like Page:Three stories by Vítězslav Hálek (1886).pdf/18 are marked just as "without text", nothing else needs to be done there. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 16:15, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Validating requirements
Hi, I see you are doing some validations. Because this a final look through the text, you need to make sure that the text is in as good a condition as possible. For the pages you're looking at you need to make sure of correct paragraph breaks (press return twice); that punctuation is correctly spaced (e.g. em-dashes have no spaces on either side); that the running header template is in the correct position in the 'header' box; that italics are correctly marked; and, where a paragraph ends at the end of a page, that the nop template is on the last line by itself. Not doing these things just creates more work for someone else to fix when the pages are transcluded to the mainspace. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 09:08, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

The same applies to Proofreading
The comments I made on the Validation Requirements in the section immediately above also apply to Proofreading. The standard of Proofreading you are providing on Elizabeth's Pretenders is below expectations. Page:Elizabeth's Pretenders.djvu/185‎ is an example filled with typos, missing italics, and misaligned punctuation. We need to meet the high standard that our readers expect when they open a book.

Still no improvement in your proofreading or validating
Please pick up your accuracy per the notes already provided to you, otherwise we will need to block you from editing for a short time while we repair all your errors. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:12, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * but what are the errors? let me know them than blocking me and i work upon them. mistakes are human SM DENIS (talk) 08:14, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I've already listed them above in general, but will detail one page you've just validated: Page:Caroline Lockhart--The Fighting Shepherdess.djvu/133


 * The running header template is not in the header box and the text is left in the Page Body box [the abbreviated form rh is fine];
 * The linebreaks within paragraphs have been left in situ;
 * At the beginning of line 2 the OCR has read "bad" instead of "had", this should have been corrected;
 * The hyphen in "exceedingly" in the first paragraph has not been removed to put the word back together;
 * The hyphen in "thoroughly" in the second paragraph has not been removed to put the word back together;
 * The hyphen in "offset" in the third paragraph has not been removed to put the word back together;
 * The paragraph break between the last two paragraphs on the page is missing;
 * The word "$old" hasn't been corrected to "sold";
 * Three more hyphens in the last paragraph haven't been removed ("cowpuncher", "slipperiness", and "security");
 * The nop template is missing at the end to prevent the paragraph at the top of the next page from running together with this one that ends the page;
 * The page number hasn't been moved to the footer box and hasn't been centered using the c template.


 * At this point it would be best to go back through the pages you have already worked on looking to repair them, rather than start new pages. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:33, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ok i have got it let me try my best to correct this. thank you. but atleast my mistakes are not that big to be blocked but i will work on them SM DENIS (talk) 08:36, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You are continuing to validate pages without fixing issues. Please stop advancing page status or I am blocking you. Mpaa (talk) 14:57, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
