Help
Hello,

I've been working on proofreading Index:Lancashire Legends, Traditions, Pageants, Sports, Etc., with an Appendix Containing a Rare Tract.djvu and have found that it requires some repairs, but I do not know how to go about fixing them.

The issues I have noticed are: There are four damaged pages, xiii, 90, 91, and 92. The index is also missing two pages, 282 and 283.

I have located an alternate copy of the book on The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/cu31924028040057) and it contains good copies of the damaged pages as well as the two missing pages. Is it possible someone can replace the damaged pages and add the two missing pages from the alternate source? (Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC))
 * Looking at the work, it seems that the alternate IA version that you linked looks to be a superior quality work, especially the illustrations. Gut feel on the way to progress is that it may be better to upload the new version, then get a bot (with admin rights) to transfer the pages transcribed from one to the other. It will take a little longer, though probably a better quality product, and probably less fiddly than trying to insert and move pages.  what do you think? — billinghurst  sDrewth  22:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I had a quick look and it seems there is a constant +1 page shift in the linked file. Pls double-check and, if it is confirmed, all we need to to is shift pages by one. Too bad the new file is pdf and not djvu, so I do not think we can reuse the same file/index page.— Mpaa (talk) 20:17, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I have noticed by checking some of my diff pages that occasionally there are minor updates being made to some of my proofread pages, almost as if I had left a double space or some other hidden character in the page. I always do a page preview before saving a page and occasionally I do see lines broken, which I correct by deleting whatever the hidden character is until the page preview looks fine.

An example of this can be seen on the following page I have recently proofed: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3APopular_Science_Monthly_Volume_72.djvu/408

Where in the block quote at the bottom of the page all appears fine to me, but when I look at the whole article using page:

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_72/May_1908/Some_New_View_Points_in_Nutrition

I see the line is broken in between the words "and such" in the following line:

"there are so many and such conflicting opinions, that it is not wonderful that the spirits, whose nature is thus left so wholly"

I'd be interested to know if there is anything I can configure to clear this problem or make it easier to spot? I edit using Firefox 54.0.1 (64 Bit) I previously used the 32 bit version where I first noticed the problem, but recently updated to the 64 bit to see if that would help. I've also tried clearing the page cache but it doesn't help. Do any other editors experience this type of problem? (Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC))

Page:Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management.djvu/259
Recheck, patched the illegibles using an identical edition. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:12, 18 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh and thanks for validating, Just be careful to check for every lower case 'j' ... ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:12, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the check and repair of that page.

A bit of a mute question now as the page has already been validated by another person, but for my future reference, would I be expected to check the page again, or is it preferred that another reader does the recheck so that we get another set of eyes viewing the page? Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:30, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Feel free to re-read as many times as you find something that got missed. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:40, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Validation
Thanks.

BTW Once you've validated once, I would suggest giving a page a second read-through after a few weeks away, to be absolutely certain. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:52, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

You might also want to look at the typoscan script someone mentioned in a Scriptourm thread recently. I've also got a list of Typo words I've found in reviewing some of my proof-reading efforts. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:52, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

span and div templates
To note that if using block center that it is a &lt;div> template, so when you are pairing with a &lt;span> template like smaller that the DIV (block) templates need to be outside of the SPAN templates (html hierarchy!) Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  23:02, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, I must admit that am not very familiar with html at all, and the terms DIV and SPAN are new to me, but I think I see what I have been doing wrong. Please let me know if there are other issues I am not handling correctly. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:42, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know, not my favourite. The hierarchy is SPAN (span) << PARAGRAPH (p) << DIVISION (div).   So equate it with a split of sentence / paragraph / page and then think.  So you cannot centre a sentence within a paragraph, so you when we centre it is with a paragraph or a division; whereas if we make something italics, it could be any of the three. So we need to nest (open and close a span) within element types.  I hope that is somewhat explanatory. — billinghurst  sDrewth  11:53, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Footnotes within footnotes
One example of how you can handle references within footnotes, as well as when they span more than one page, etc. can be found at this Index talk page. There is also Help:Footnotes and endnotes. I realize you might already have a method in mind, and may simply be saving those pages for later... P.S. The poetry formatting might make things confusing. If so, I apologize. Londonjackbooks (talk) 13:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the pointers! I had no idea how to approach that issue, it really had me stumped! I have attempted to format it using the example provided from the Byron link, but its not quite working out for me, as it doesn't reflect the page layout quite as I expected, so I have left it marked as problematic to see if anyone is able to do a better job. Sp1nd01 (talk) 23:18, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi Thank you very much for proof reading, validating and correcting Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat

Cheers from Australia.

Beeton
Can you take another look at some of the pages that you identifed problems on (or skipped). I had a cleanup of some of them a month ago and would like a re-check on them.

Thanks. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

I have found a missing page in Index:Jardine Naturalist's library Bees.djvu

The Contents list should contain three pages, however the third page is missing, (as well as the following blank page.)

Would somebody be able to add the two missing pages after Page:Jardine Naturalist's library Bees.djvu/18, or advise if and how I can do it?

The missing pages can be found in an alternate copy of the book at https://archive.org/details/bees34jard

Although the book is dated later, I have checked the pages and apart from the placements of the Plates the pages do match the original book. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Probably best to add this request to the appropriate section on WS:S — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:44, 28 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I've created a post for it as requested, I hope its in the correct section. Sp1nd01 (talk) 14:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Beeton (2)
Thanks for validating.. I'm at the moment planning on re-examining some of the as of yet unvalidated pages as I'm finding many many concerns on review of these, I should be able to stay ahead of your validation efforts. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:47, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notification, I am only managing to check a small number of pages each day, so I doubt we should bump into each other too often. Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:29, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Index:Cassell's Illustrated History of England vol 1.djvu
As you've been able to spot typos in Beeton that I missed on at least 2 passes, I was wondering if you would be willing to consider adding this to your list of works under review. (Ignore the nominal validation status), so that it can be as perfect as wiki-markup allows. Also I have a strong view in places it might need to be tweaked due to the parser changes which are coming soon.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:23, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * And after Volume 1 there are Voulmes 2,3,4 to be examined :( (sigh). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:23, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, I can add it to my list and try and check a page or so a day. Sp1nd01 (talk) 07:30, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Leaves of Knowledge
Hi, it's been nice to work in parallel on Leaves of Knowledge -- I appreciate your proofreading/validating efforts. Just wanted to let you know I finished up the chapter pages, and posted this on "new texts" on the front page today. -Pete (talk) 23:47, 19 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Your welcome, and thank you for applying the finishing touches along with the status update! Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Beeton Images.
I note that someone else had uploaded some images under a different naming structure previously, Will you be examining those and updating, re-naming images accordingly?

BTW - Page:Mrs_Beeton%27s_Book_of_Household_Management.djvu/172 needs it's plate upload as does Page:Mrs_Beeton%27s_Book_of_Household_Management.djvu/1403. I've not listed images past this as I know you were uploading them as you progressed through the validations.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I'd held off those two plates for a while because I was trying to obtain better a quality scan of them.
 * I found the missing text of the second plate in the raw image scan at the original source and have uploaded it now, however the first plate is damaged also in the raw scan and I havn't been able to locate a better image anywhere else. I can go ahead and upload it as is if you like, and it can be updated if anyone finds a better one in the future.


 * Re: renaming of files, I don't think that is something I have the authority to do. It seems to rely on placing a request for a file to be renamed, and then it has to be assessed by the admins. Maybe we would have to compile a list of files to be renamed before we could request that? Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:32, 31 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, or given that yours have a different lead name, just update the transcription here to use your uploaded scans at higher quality :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:42, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Not an immediate priority but...

 * I've taken a look but I think that creating those type of images is well above my current skill level. Sorry. Sp1nd01 (talk) 19:37, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Tableaux Vivans
Thank you tremendously for adding a table to Once a Week, Volume II. Tables are something I haven't studied at all yet. The "Tableaux Vivans" table is perfect; I just adjusted the top and bottom margin and the font size of the caption. Levana Taylor (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Bench and Bar of Colorado.
Thanks...

I will note the table layout may also need updating - https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page%3ABench_and_bar_of_Colorado_-_1917.djvu%2F61&type=revision&diff=9412882&oldid=9412812 to resolve the LintErrors. If you want to do this while adding images feel free. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded a few images, and copied the table changes, so hopefully they are now appearing as expected? I don't know what a LintError is or how to check for one, so if you could give it a check over for me, and if ok I'll carry on. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Index:Newdressmakerwit00butt.djvu
As you seem to know what you are doing with images, any chance of queuing this one in your lists?

Some of the illustrations were previously uploaded to Commons, see the link on the index page.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:25, 28 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll give them a go, note that I don't know how to create images with transparent backgrounds as the previous uploader did, so mine will just be plain white backgrounds. The layouts I add may also need adjusting to your preference, so keep a watch for them them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:43, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Mother Goose...
Hi Sp1nd01,

I've noticed you've added a lot of missing images to works here, and so I'm guessing that's an area you're interested in? I just ran across The Real Mother Goose, and looking at Index:The Real Mother Goose.djvu it looks like it's essentially done except for the images. It's going to take some pretty careful editing to remove the yellow background without ruining the (color) drawings, but if you're interested in that kind of challenge you might like this project.

In any case: absolutely no obligation to take it on! I thought you might be interested is all, and if you're not then please do feel free to ignore this message entirely! :) --Xover (talk) 07:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes I enjoy working on the images, I've just been trying to help some of the books along to completion. I'd be happy to give those images a try for you, only basic stuff, as I'm by no means an image specialist. Sp1nd01 (talk) 14:27, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Image extraction
Hi! When extracting images from DjVu files, the results are often very badly damaged by the DjVu compression, which is generally heavy and optimised for text, not images. For files that come from the Internet Archive, there are original page scan photographs at the IA details page, which are generally much higher quality that that found in a DjVu. In the case of Hudibras page xxiv, the original JP2 file is here, and a list of all the page images is here (you can choose JPG or JP2; JP2 avoids an extra round of compression).

There are some more details of extracting the best images from various source at H:DJVUIMG. Thanks for doing image extraction! Inductiveload— talk/contribs  09:03, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info, I thought the images looked slightly blurred. I've now uploaded the higher quality versions. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It's beautiful, thank you :-). I have broken the image extraction instructions out to H:EXTRACT now.
 * It looks like you are rather good at extracting images, what's your method? I plan to add some instructions to H:EXTRACT following what I wrote here User_talk:AndrewOfWyntoun, but it'll take me a while to do. If you have any other hints that differ from that (especially if you have a way to automate it), I'd love to see them! Inductiveload— talk/contribs  09:49, 12 October 2020 (UTC)


 * My method is similar to yours, but I tend to shy away from gimp as I find it has too many features for my minimal skill level, (I get especially confused with layers and channels, not to mention all the menu options and layouts, but I will revisit this and follow your instructions to see what I end up with.)


 * For reference in-case it is useful to you or anyone else who reads this, my processing method for greyscale / black and white is as follows: ( I don't have a method for colour, I just have to experiment and play around.)


 * I use xnview for cropping and processing the images and the irfanview for minor blemish removal. Unfortunately I know of no methods of automating any of this processing.


 * I download and crop the image. (I'll try and ensure to use the highest quality source I can obtain.)


 * Desaturate if required to remove colour -  Image - Extract channel (usually red is sufficient) but sometimes for paler images or images with wavy lines visible, I find removing the green or blue chanel instead may give a better result.


 * Try Image, Map, Automatic Levels, but this does not always produce the required result. so I tend to manually adjust levels to whiten the background.


 * Image, Adjust, Levels, and reduce the white point to remove they grey background as much as possible, (I find it easier to see the effect if Apply to image is checked, as it displays the result to the main large image as you adjust the levels.) As you reduce the white point, you may also have to increase the black point to avoid the image fading too much.


 * A rough rule of thumb, you can usually slide the white point left to just past the initial downward slope on the first curve to remove most of the grey background. The black point can be raised to the start of the dotted lines. But its really a try it and see approach.


 * Once happy with the levels, if there are any remaining blemishes I will save the file and then I remove them using the eraser feature in irfanview. (as far as I know there is no eraser feature in xnview.)


 * Finally To save an image with a transparent background, I use File, Export select Color Mode 256 Color (Adaptive) and then select white in the Set Transparency Colour tab.


 * Otherwise I export as Greyscale or save as a .jpg


 * Thanks for creating the documentation btw, its really useful information, I've certainly picked up some good pointers from it! Sp1nd01 (talk) 12:41, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

The Curlytops at Silver Lake (and other) images
Thank you for your work creating images; I can tell you that it is certainly much appreciated by everyone here on English Wikisource. Would you mind creating the images (from Curlytops) from the higher-quality images I scanned, instead? For the few books I have scanned, I have also made higher-quality scans for pages with images; I have only uploaded these for The North Star (and those are of a less desirable nature, being poorly cropped and aligned, and not being desaturated). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:32, 13 November 2020 (UTC).
 * I'm happy to try and help, let me know where the higher-quality scans can be found and I'll have a go using them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 07:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Alas, I cannot find the image scans for Curlytops. (I think I’ve misplaced a folder.) I can upload the scan images for A North Star (and some other works), if you’re interested. I’m sorry for having bothered you, when I don’t even have the images. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 13:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC).
 * If it helps at all, I still have the TIFF files you sent me to make a DJVu of The Curlytops at Silver Lake? --Xover (talk) 14:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Xover: Thank you, but I am referring to different images. For all of the works I sent you (and some more I would like to send you soon), I also made higher-quality scans of pages with images. However, I cannot find the higher-quality images for Curlytops, either because I have misplaced them, or because I did not make them in the first place. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2020 (UTC).
 * No bother at all, I'll run them through my process for you once you've uploaded them. If they aren't up to requirements just delete them, no offence will be taken. Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:53, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I will upload them soon as local files; they can be deleted once you have extracted the images. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2020 (UTC).
 * Raw images from The North Star are here (it is a “category” that has not been created). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC).
 * I have uploaded other images here, here, and here; the numbers given are the page numbers of the file they belong to. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:55, 14 November 2020 (UTC).
 * I've uploaded the new images to commons for you, and I think that's everything completed now. If so you may delete the local files. Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:28, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that’s all; could you please delete them, Xover? TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:41, 15 November 2020 (UTC).
 * Done. --Xover (talk) 17:49, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Just wanted to add my thanks here for all the images you've been adding which also happen to come under the WikiProject NLS grouping. I don't want to bombard you with the 'thanks!' button everytime I come across a work with the images now added, but it's so nice to see it happening and making the works complete. So yeah, thanks!

Hudibras portraits
Hi there. Thanks for the work you've done preparing the images for this work. I've been plugging away at the text, off and on, for a couple of years now and have finished Volume 1. My own efforts at manipulating the images haven't been anything like as successful as your own. Having spent ages trying to get the guidance in the Wikisource help to work and, having done so, getting poor results, I now mostly use Irfanview and the 'replace colour' function. For most things this seems to be satisfactory (with a bit of titivation using MS Paint 3D where necessary) but it takes out the fine detail in the Hudibras images. I was going to ask you how you achieve such good results, but stumbled across the entry on your talk page, so I'm going to give that a go. Thanks again.Chrisguise (talk) 08:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi I hope my rough and ready instructions are clear enough to follow! if I can help clarify anything that isn't please ask and I'll try to help. As I mentioned I am only a very basic graphics editor, but the method does seem to produce fairly good results on most of the black and white images I've come across. Good luck with your images! PS. I hope you didn't mind me attempting some of the images every now and again, I just tend to drift about looking for older problematic pages to work on and stumbled on Hudibras only a few months ago. If you prefer to complete the images or replace any I have uploaded please do so. Regards Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not, please keep up the good work. I've had a go at the last eight portraits for volume 1 but haven't uploaded them yet. I installed XnViewXP and followed your guide, which works well, so much so that I need to go back to my earlier efforts and redo them. Like yourself I have little experience with image editing and find the interface on some of the free packages daunting (especially GIMP); by comparison XnViewXP is positively friendly. Regards, Chrisguise (talk) 22:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Pardon the drive-by, but I thought you might like to know I have recently written up some (GIMP) instructions at Help:Image extraction/With GIMP, but the concepts would translated to any image processing software. The Hudibras portraits are specifically hard because the have such fine, pale, detail, so it's really easy to blow the highlights to pure white. Inductiveload— talk/contribs 23:46, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Not the brightest at this end of the wire! The documentation is really useful, but I fall at the first hurdle when I see talk of layers and alpha channels, they are just beyond my ability. I've tried many times with gimp and can't get anywhere with it.
 * One interesting item I wasn't aware of was that I should be using .jp2 for the highest resolution images. From the Internet Archive I had been obtaining the images by clicking on the .jpg file link from the raw source, I assumed that they would give the same high resolution image, considering the file size is the same.
 * I ran a test today and my resultant .png image I created from the .jp2 appears clearer and has a larger file and display size than one from the .jpg file, so its .jp2 for me from now on. Makes me wonder why the internet archive bother offering the .jpg file at all? Sp1nd01 (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the all the work you have been doing in creating images here at Wikisource! It is much appreciated. Would you mind creating the images from Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government? The diagram at /5–/7 is one image; the table at pp. 91–93 isn’t an image. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:37, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure how my joining the three images will work out, but I'll have a go at it. Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:53, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for trying. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 14:30, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Images now added, one still needs they key typing in, I've left it as problematic for now. You may also want to resize them. I've left the table, its a little too complicated for me. Sp1nd01 (talk) 18:30, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks great! Thanks. I can complete the key later. The table is a mess, but I’ll deal with it later. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Index:The Chaldean Account of Genesis (1876).djvu
I see that you're quite talented at image processing. Would you mind adding the images to this index that in its last month in the Monthly Challenge and only missing the pages with images. Many Thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 13:56, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, I'll have a go at adding them over the next week. Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:10, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 00:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate your work on this book. Thanks to you, it got finished. Languageseeker (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Your welcome, glad too have been of some help! Sp1nd01 (talk) 13:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Index:Kwaidan; Stories and Studies of Strange Things - Hearn - 1904.djvu
I was wondering if you'd be willing to help out with this book as well. It's fully proofread and transcluded, but missing the graphics. Most of the pages are marked in purple. In addition, each story has a set of Kanji character(s) that run on the side of each page. Since the characters are identical, they only need to be added to the second page of each story. Many thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 00:49, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'm away for computer access for the weekend but can take a look from Monday. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:45, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I can see that you already started. :) Could you also add the image of the character on the page after the first page of the story, for example Page:Kwaidan; Stories and Studies of Strange Things - Hearn - 1904.djvu/54. I'm happy to make a complete list if that makes life easier for you. Languageseeker (talk) 15:14, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I can do that if its required? The reason I ask is because characters have been added on this page. If an image is the preferred method I will add them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 18:56, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * To me, these characters are calligraphy and should remain as images. It would great if you could add them. Of course, take as long as you need and thank you for the work that you've done. Languageseeker (talk) 04:59, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for doing the images. I always find it amazing to see how much images can transform a work. Languageseeker (talk) 00:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Images for Two Tarzan Books
Thank you for all the images that you've created so far. They've really made a difference. Could I trouble you to process the images for Index:Jungle Tales of Tarzan.djvu and Index:Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar.djvu? Languageseeker (talk) 22:56, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Just had a quick look, I think all the images have already been uploaded by other users. I could crop and greyscale some if that is required? but I don't know if the original uploaders intended to present them as they are now. Please advise what you would like doing with them? I'm just wary of changing other users work. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:23, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, could you crop and grayscale them. I also think that the images are from the DJVU rather than the JP2 files, could you replace those? It's ok to replace images if they are from a higher-quality source or if they need additional processing. Many Thanks. Languageseeker (talk) 14:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Image updates are now done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:24, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 22:03, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Index:The Son of Tarzan.djvu
Would you mind adding the images to this Index? Languageseeker (talk) 22:18, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * All done now. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:39, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Truly appreciate you. Languageseeker (talk) 01:20, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Tarzan Strikes Again
Would you be interested in adding the images for Index:The Return of Tarzan.djvu? Many thanks. Languageseeker (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, It looks like I started on this a few months ago and then forgot to complete it. So many distractions... Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:43, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * All outstanding imaged now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:16, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 13:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

3 Images in Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 2).djvu
Would you mind doing the three images in Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 2).djvu? Languageseeker (talk) 13:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * All done Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:34, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Would you also mind doing the images for Index:My mortal enemy - 1926.djvu. The images can be harvested from . It seems they added a yellow background, could that be removed? Languageseeker.
 * I've done those using my simple method of extracting a colour channel and adjusting the levels to change any remaining grey to white. Hope they OK. You may like to change their sizing to your preferred values. Sp1nd01 (talk) 23:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You're a true master at your craft. They look perfect. Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 23:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks for adding these images. Note that there is a double page image in Historic Highways Volume 2, that I am not sure how to handle (p105-106).
 * However, I didn't realise you were also doing the images for My Mortal Enemy. At this point I kind of wish @Languageseeker would have cc'd me on the message, because I spent the last hour or so myself doing all the images. After I quick test, I think my images are slightly higher resolution/cleaner than yours (I found said cleaner versions on hathi trust), so I am going to swap them out. Sorry that we doubled up, and thanks again for the assistance with Historic Highways.
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries, we got crossed wires, I checked for existing images before I started, so I must have missed them or checked before you uploaded yours. I'm off line now for the weekend, but it may be possible to find an alternate source with the whole image of the map for p105/6, if not it is sometimes possible to merge the two pages together, but from a quick glance it looks like the center part is hidden by a fold so that won't be an option for this one. Sp1nd01 (talk) 00:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks for your understanding, and also enjoy the weekend. My guess is that we both started at almost exactly the same time; or otherwise I hadn't refreshed the page index in a while, so it looked like things hadn't changed. Maybe next time I will add something to the discussion page just in case, assuming people check those things.
 * @Languageseeker All good.
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi again,
 * Thanks a bunch for adding that last image. Much appreciated!
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 23:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @TeysaKarlov Sorry about that. Slipped my mind. Languageseeker (talk) 00:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Enjoy your weekend. Languageseeker (talk) 00:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Images for Index:Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887.pdf
Would you mind doing the images for A Study in Scarlet. The original images are from. Languageseeker (talk) 23:22, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Images now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. There are a number of other Indexes in the MC that could use your help with images and I don't want to flood your talk page with individual requests. I'd appreciate your help with any of them. Many, many thanks. Languageseeker (talk) 16:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * Given the effort in adding images, I thought it worth a typed thanks (rather than the simpler equivalent), expressing my appreciation for the images added to a Study in Scarlet and to Historic Highways of America Vol. 3 (among everything else that you have been adding images to).
 * Thanks again,
 * Appreciate that, just doing what I love, glad it's helping you out. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * TeysaKarlov (talk) 22:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 3).djvu - 7 images

Page:Bleak House.djvu/15
For this page, would you mind leaving the text in the image. It appears to be hand drawn. Thanks!Languageseeker (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Title image redone to include the text. All the main images are now done. I'm not sure what to do with the Cover and Adv Page? Any ideas on how these are to be be represented, with images, or just left as text or some other solution? Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:01, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Awesome. The Cover should be an image, but the Adv page is not very necessary. It’s sort of there by being on the back of the cover. Languageseeker (talk) 23:15, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 03).djvu
This one is also missing images, would you mind adding them? Languageseeker (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Behind the scenes, or, Thirty years a slave and four years in the White House
Thanks for the images for this. I think that you might have overlooked the endpiece on Page:Behind the scenes, or, Thirty years a slave and four years in the White House.djvu/268 Languageseeker (talk) 23:02, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Good spot, its now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 23:14, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Another image request (Jade Story Book)
Hello,

Thanks for all your assistance helping finish off many works in the MC thus far. Just wondering if you would be inclined to add two images to the Jade Story Book in the MC, which is otherwise almost finished (particularly given one is color, and for the most part, I stick to simple black and whites).

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 00:11, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Images now added, hope they are ok. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * They look great, many thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:14, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

March Monthly Challenge
Hi, would you mind doing the images for
 * Index:The Modern Writer.pdf
 * Index:Orley Farm (Serial Volume 13).pdf.

Many thanks as always Languageseeker (talk) 01:48, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for those. Could you also do:
 * Index:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 2.djvu
 * Index:The History of the Standard Oil Company Vol 1.djvu
 * Index:On a grey thread (IA ongreythread00gidl).pdf
 * Index:The Feminist Movement - Snowden - 1912.djvu Languageseeker (talk) 01:33, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * All done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

More March Monthly Challenge
Hello again,

If possible could you please add:

1 image (twice) to Index:The Feminist Movement - Snowden - 1912.djvu

1 logo to Index:Murder on the Links - 1985.djvu - I am not sure which publisher logo's have templates, so maybe this will be super simple

6 images to Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 4).djvu - note 7 pages are marked problematic, only 6 require images

Sorry that I always seem to ask on the weekend, I do not mean to cause any pressure by it (do these things if and when works best), and any help is much appreciated. Thanks,TeysaKarlov (talk) 02:04, 19 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks (again). Images (in HHoA) look great as always. TeysaKarlov (talk) 05:46, 21 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Your welcome. It looks like it won't be possible to upload the Bantam Books logo as it is probably protected by copyright. If I hear otherwise I can soon upload a copy. Sp1nd01 (talk) 18:48, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for any confusion about the logo. I figured they were separate to the copyright for the text, but probably should have been more sure how it all works before I asked. TeysaKarlov (talk) 04:15, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Rather than keeping on adding new entries to your growing discussion page, I thought I might try and sneak another few in here for March.
 * Index:The Science of Getting Rich - Wattles - 1910.djvu - technically this only has one missing image. However, all the chapters start with "image" drop initials, and images for those would be nice (up to you though), although these pages have not been marked as problematic (they are listed in the contents, bar the introduction).
 * Index:The history of Witchcraft and demonology.djvu - this may not get finished though (not sure how much that might dissuade you)
 * Index:The Elene of Cynewulf.djvu - I intend to get to this (as my Scriptorium discussion might suggest), but not everything has been going to plan
 * As always, I greatly appreciate any help you are willing and able to provide,TeysaKarlov (talk) 05:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think they are now all done, if I've missed any please let me know. Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the images
at Index:A short guide to Syria (1943).djvu, appreciated. feydey (talk) 13:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

April Monthly Challenge
Hello again,

When time permits, could you please add images to:

Index:Anne of Avonlea (1909).djvu - 1 page

Index:Orley Farm (Serial Volume 17).pdf - 2 images, as always

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 5).djvu - 4 images, although some of them are quite faint in the version on Wikisource (I am not sure where you source yours)

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC)


 * P.S. Scratch Orley Farm v17 off the above. TeysaKarlov (talk) 06:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Now complete. For the folded maps in Historic highways of America (Volume 5) I have only been able to locate full copies from a Cornell University scan. I have added them and the captions, but if anyone can locate better copies I'd be happy to replace them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 13:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Would you mind also doing Index:Anne of the Island (1920).djvu and Index:The Kobzar of the Ukraine.pdf? Languageseeker (talk) 01:43, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

May Monthly Challenge
Hello,

Could you please add images to any or all of,

Index:The Anglo-Saxon version of the story of Apollonius of Tyre.djvu - 2 pages

Index:Anne of the Island (1920).djvu - 2 pages

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 6).djvu - 3 pages

Index:Owen Wister - The Virginian.djvu - 1 page

Index:The History of the Standard Oil Company Vol 2.djvu - a lot of pages

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Would you mind redoing the images in Index:Owen Wister - The Virginian.djvu as well. Languageseeker (talk) 04:11, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi again,
 * Awesome job so far, above and beyond expectations; so many images! If I am not overreaching in tacking on
 * Index:The Novels of Ivan Turgenev (volume VII).djvu - 3 pages
 * so that it can be marked proofread, then all the better.
 * Many thanks,
 * TeysaKarlov (talk) 21:11, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * All done now. re: the the Turgenev images, I am unable to locate the original source on the internet archive using the link provided. The source links to a file which contains no images. I have searched but have not been able find the one which contains the images. If anyone can help me locate the file I'll get them uploaded. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The actual source for the scans is: https://archive.org/details/novelsofivanturg02turg MarkLSteadman (talk) 00:44, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for locating that source for me. The images have now been added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:39, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

German Stories
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for adding the images to the German Stories scans! Great work! -- Yodin T 10:59, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Index:The History of the Standard Oil Company Vol 2.djvu
Hey, thanks for adding the images that you’ve done for this index. I’ve marked some more pages which need images as ’problematic’; would be great if you can upload them too! Ciridae (talk) 13:05, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * All done, please let me know if I've missed any others. Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:05, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

June Monthly Challenge
Hello again,

Another month, another monthly challenge (who would have guessed), another image request. As always, efforts much appreciated.

Index:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 04).djvu - Technically timed out last month, but only 4 images left.

Index:The Anglo-Saxon version of the story of Apollonius of Tyre.djvu - I realise I requested last month, but someone else uploaded a (slightly) incorrect logo. Your call if you can be bothered to change.

Index:Enough Rope - Parker - 1926.djvu - Also just a logo.

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 7).djvu - 2 images.

Index:A Treatise on Painting.djvu - A fair few images (I realise it looks not proofread, due to unregistered users, but it is close to being finished).

Index:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu - 6 images.

Thanks,TeysaKarlov (talk) 03:18, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I think that is all the images added for now. (I do notice them in the MC, but I tend to leave them alone incase others want to have a go at them first.) Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:22, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Sp1nd01,
 * Thanks again for adding all the images. Sorry for any presumption, if any was implied. If possible, can I tack on Index:From Passion to Peace - Allen - 1910.djvu. I am not sure about if Wikisource does covers, but it would be nice to at least do the title page in the same vein as Page:The Feminist Movement - Snowden - 1912.djvu/11. Also sorry if I missed marking a page as problematic in A Treatise on Painting, hence leading someone else to think you had missed an image when you probably had no reason to presume there would be one there in the first place (I am sure you are aware that there were so many images, and it was awfully easy to miss one going page by page).
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 03:15, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @TeysaKarlov I've had a go at the title page and cover for you. The title page looks fairly close to me at the page level, however when I click on the transclusion to view the whole of the text it seems to be offset to the right and overflows the image for some reason. I don't know why this is, maybe someone could explain what's going on? Sorry about that maybe the method I use is flawed. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:01, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks for adding the image, it looks great now. As for the right offset, my interpretation of what went on is: if you just use a center, without specifying any width, then the x1 value should be 0, else you are pushing the left margin (it then splits half of everything to the right of the left margin, which is no longer a full page). The other option, is just to set a fixed width on the section being centred, which I did in the smaller block, and then you can use the margins to move things around. Again, thanks, it looks great. TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:05, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:Book of Etiquette, Volume 1, by Lilian Eichler.djvu
Thanks for adding the missing images to The History of the Standard Oil Company, Vol 2. I'd be much obliged if you would help in this index as well; it is missing the frontispiece, cover and images on the title page, half-title page, and some more illustrated pages (including the first page). I've marked those pages as "problematic". Thanks for the help in advance! Ciridae (talk) 12:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Volume 2 of the Book of Etiquette also needs a frontispiece and 3 images. Can you do those as well? Ciridae (talk) 10:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * All done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 12:11, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Gilded Age - Twain - 1874.pdf
Would you mind doing the images for this title? Languageseeker (talk) 19:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to do those, but fyi another user Stamlou is actively working on it has previously added images, so they may be still planning to complete it themself so I don't want to tread on any toes. For now I've created and added the recently created images to a Category "The Gilded Age" on Commons where I can keep track of them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:02, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for creating the "The Gilded Age" category. I plan on continuing adding images for this title. I favor collaboration. Do you have suggestions concerning my work on the images? Stamlou (talk) 14:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Stamlou @Sp1nd01 Yes, collaboration is key. Thank you to both of you for creating this category. Would it be possible to remove the background of these images? Languageseeker (talk) 17:21, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Stamlou @Languageseeker I would remove any captions and image colouring for any monochrome images. However I do often see images with the colour retained, so I tend to follow suite, assuming it is desired by the uploader to be that way. There is a good image help article I would recommend a read, I refer to it for guidance and it does suggest that the colour and captions should be removed. Please continue to upload your images, if you can have a go at creating any new images in greyscale that would be good. (I am a very basic image editor, so I mainly adjust black and white points using the levels option, which works fairly well in most cases.) If you would like, I will crop and greyscale the existing ones that you have already uploaded to share the workload? Let me know if that is OK. Sp1nd01 (talk) 19:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions, I agree with them. Please crop and change to grey scale the illustrations that need it and finish doing all images for this project. Stamlou (talk) 19:29, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I think all the images are now all added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:07, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you also do the three pages that are marked as problematic. I doubt anyone soon will come with knowledge of the scripts. Languageseeker (talk) 13:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems that the illustration on Page:The Gilded Age - Twain - 1874.pdf/18 needs redoing to match the other images. Languageseeker (talk) 14:39, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 4).djvu
Would you mind doing the images for the The Adventure of Silver Blaze. Languageseeker (talk) 18:28, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Now complete. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:21, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 5).djvu
Do you think that you can images for The Adventure of the Cardboard Box. They'll be a series of Sherlock Holmes from the volume. Languageseeker (talk) 13:23, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the two stories. The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk is now proofread and needs images, if you don't mind. Languageseeker (talk) 00:52, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks like all the Sherlock Holmes has been proofread, would you mind adding the missing images. Many thanks. Languageseeker (talk) 03:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * All done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:34, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 17:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Elder Edda and the Younger Edda - tr. Thorpe - 1907.djvu
This work is in need of four images, do you think that you could add them. :) Languageseeker (talk) 03:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * All done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 17:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:From Passion to Peace - Allen - 1910.djvu
This work has one page marked Problematic due to a missing image (the rest are validated). Can you add it please? Ciridae (talk) 10:33, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Sp1nd01 (talk) 12:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

The Final Problem
Would you mind doing the images for The Final Problem in Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 6).djvu? Languageseeker (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * They have been done overnight while I was sleeping :-) Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:11, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Index:Bismarck and the foundation of the German empire (IA bismarckfoundati00head).pdf
Hi! Can you do the images for this work? I've marked some of pages containing images as 'Problematic'; first pages of all chapters also have images. Ciridae (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ciridae I think that them all added now. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:14, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi again! There were more missing pages in this scan and my replacement broke the file so it was moved to Index:Bismarck and the Foundation of the German Empire (1899).djvu. There are two images that need to be extracted and uploaded, both marked 'Problematic'. Can you help? Ciridae (talk) 13:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Images now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:17, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Ciridae (talk) 13:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Images for Index:How the other half lives.djvu and Index:The part taken by women in American history.djvu
Would you mind doing the images for these two indexes? Languageseeker (talk) 12:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Also for this month's challenge, that are close to complete, Index:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 05).djvu, Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 8).djvu, and for which images would be much appreciated. TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think they are now all added, let me know if I have missed any. Sp1nd01 (talk) 13:51, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * All looks good to me. As always, many thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

September Monthly Challenge
Hello again,

Getting in early this month with:

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 9).djvu - 3 pages

Index:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 06).djvu - 3 pages

Index:Calculus Made Easy.pdf - many pages (the work is almost actually almost proofread); note that one image has already been uploaded, but it has the caption as part of the image - assuming this isn't the standard, switching this image out for something consistent with the rest would be great

Page:The Education of Henry Adams (1907).djvu/2 (a single page)

Page:The Elder Edda and the Younger Edda - tr. Thorpe - 1907.djvu/9 (possibly one page - I am not definite on what images Wikisource includes, but maybe this should be)

If you want to wait until later in the month, all good too, but I thought I would just put everything in one request.

Thanks,TeysaKarlov (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, I've added the images apart from the Calculus Made Easy ones. I made a start adding .pngs but then I noticed there is a comment on the history for page pdf/27 →‎Problematic: for images: they can be turned into SVG files fairly easily.
 * I don't know how to make .svg files, so I have stopped working on it for now. There may be someone who is able to create the .svg files for it, maybe the team knows of someone who can. If not I'm happy to add them as .png's, just let me know. Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all the images thus far.
 * I don't know much about making svg files either, unless there is some converter on the internet that does this sort of thing.
 * Personally, I am less of a fan of waiting for something to be done (better), when at least to me, the png's look fine. I think Wikisource ends up with a lot of waiting for (more technical) things to be done that end in ever increasing backlogs, but I probably haven't been on here long enough to actually be bitter about this (yet). However, given that it is your time involved putting the png's in, if it would annoy you that they get replaced, then stopping makes sense. Or if you want to raise the question on Scriptorium Help, also feel free.
 * Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:34, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I have now added the .png images to the pages. I don't mind at all if someone does want to replace them with something better in the future, I agree they look fine as is for general viewing. Sp1nd01 (talk) 14:39, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I completely agree that they look fine. I generally think that it is so much nicer to have the work completely proofread, particularly with all the effort that went into the all the formulae in said text. Thanks again for doing all of this, TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:57, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks you for all your effort. Would you mind doing the images for The Hound of the Baskervilles in Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 22).djvu and Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 23).djvu. They don't need to be great because there are no high quality scans that I could find. Languageseeker (talk) 20:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, would it be possible to redo the low-res images in Index:Works of Thomas Carlyle - Volume 06.djvu using []. Languageseeker (talk) 14:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I've done all the images now. For the strand V23 I was unable to make decent higher resolution images, the source images have wavy lines beyond my abilty to correct. I added some existing lower resolution images for now, someone with better skill than I have will be required to update those. Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:35, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for all your hard work. Don't worry about strand v23. It'll take better scans, but at least there is something there until that day comes. Languageseeker (talk) 18:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

America's Highways 1776–1976
I'd like to thank you for your continued efforts working on the images from Index:America's Highways 1776–1976.djvu. It is much appreciated!  Imzadi 1979   →    09:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Your welcome, I'll try and chipping away at them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I hae a question regarding Page:America's Highways 1776–1976.djvu/76 and Page:America's Highways 1776–1976.djvu/77. It's obvious to me that is a single image split across the two pages. Should we join them and put them on the first page and blank the second?  Imzadi 1979   →    01:52, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is an option I have used on other combined image pages. The reason I uploaded them individually is that when I try and combine them into one image, see here there appears to be a noticeable portion of the picture missing in the page gutters. I have attempted to locate an alternate complete image but haven't been able to find one. If you are happy with the combined image as is please do use it. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Index:London - The Call of the Wild, 1903.djvu
Would you mind redoing the images in Index:London - The Call of the Wild, 1903.djvu. The current images could be improved upon. Languageseeker (talk) 18:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Index:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 5.djvu
Would you mind doing the images in Index:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 5.djvu? Would it also be possible to run through the rest of the series as they will all be run through the MC and seem quite popular? Languageseeker (talk) 12:54, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you Languageseeker (talk) 17:45, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

October 2022 MC
Would you mind doing the following: Languageseeker (talk) 19:53, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The plates from Index:Notices by the Rev. T. Surridge ...of Roman inscriptions discovered at High Rochester, Risingham and Rudchester, in Northumberland ... (IA noticesbyrevtsur00surr).pdf
 * Index:The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1926).djvu
 * Index:Tarzan the Terrible.djvu
 * Index:The Tale of Genji.pdf


 * Hi @Sp1nd01,
 * It seems Languageseeker has been keeping you busy. When you get the chance, some images for
 * Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 6.pdf
 * Index:The adventures of Pinocchio (Cramp 1904).djvu
 * would also be appreciated. Otherwise, thanks for the above, and hopefully the last (of the PD) Tarzan series will be done soon.
 * TeysaKarlov (talk) 03:11, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, the cover image of Index:The story girl.pdf. Languageseeker (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Sp1nd01,
 * Many thanks for adding the above images, particularly cleaning up Pinocchio. I also thought that if you ever come across a text that you have added the images to, but want some help proofreading, then feel free to let me know.
 * Thanks,
 * TeysaKarlov (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with the sentiments of TeysaKarlov. In fact without you, I would not run these texts ;). Thank you so much for all the hard work you do. Languageseeker (talk) 03:01, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Would it be possible to add the remaining plates to Index:Notices by the Rev. T. Surridge ...of Roman inscriptions discovered at High Rochester, Risingham and Rudchester, in Northumberland ... (IA noticesbyrevtsur00surr).pdf. It's nearing completion, but it's still missing a few, smaller plates. Languageseeker (talk) 03:24, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Now added. I think I have completed all image requests apart from The Seven Pillars which I am still working through. Please let me know if I have missed anything else, its not intentional. Thanks both for your kind words. Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:48, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thank you. It's a lot to keep track of. The images for The Seven Pillars look beautiful. Languageseeker (talk) 23:05, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I've added all the images for The Seven Pillars, note there are still some .svg initial letters outstanding, I don't know how to create these, so am not able to help with adding them. Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:25, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Spotted two more:
 * The covers for Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu] and [[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 2 Original).djvu
 * Two pages for Index:The Blacker the Berry - Thurman - 1929.djvu Languageseeker (talk) 05:07, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Another:
 * Index:Notes on democracy - 1926.djvu needs two logos. One in the front and one in the back. Languageseeker (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * And Index:Life on the Mississippi (IA lifeonmississipptwai).pdf seems to have picked up steam recently. Sorry for the terrible pun. Languageseeker (talk) 19:12, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That was mostly me on Life on the Mississippi. I am probably going to switch to other works after I finish the current chapter fwiw. Thanks for your efforts getting so many works over the finish line. MarkLSteadman (talk) 19:45, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Future Request
I know that you're absolutely swamped by the October MC and I'm really grateful to you for working on it. I keep on forgetting and then running across this again. In the future, could you remove the yellow backgrounds from Index:Kidnapped (1895 Cassell).djvu and redo Page:The Gospel of Râmakrishna.djvu/8. Many thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 16:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think they are now all complete. Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:03, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

November 2022 MC
It's another month and another set of works that could use your help.
 * Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 2 Original).djvu has one image
 * Index:A complete course in dressmaking, (Vol. 3, Underwear) (IA completecoursein03cono).pdf needs all images even though another user uploaded some placeholder ones.
 * Index:Weird Tales v13n04.djvu has a few images for The Dunwich Horror
 * Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 10).djvu has a few images
 * Index:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 6.djvu plates
 * Index:The Keeper of the Bees.pdf
 * Index:Anatomy of the Human Body (1918).djvu has an utterly ludicrous number of plates, but these plates are still widely used today.

Many thanks as always for any help. Languageseeker (talk) 23:17, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks for the HHoA images, as always! TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:13, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 If I might sneak a request in for November, Index:The World's Famous Orations Volume 2.pdf, the cover and front page. Not sure how you want to deal with the latter, if need be, I can see about floating the text inside any images of the borders and between the flowers and things. Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have tried to overfloat the title image, it appears ok to me on the page level, but may need some adjustments once its been transcluded. If that is not suitable let me know and I can upload an image for the title page. Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:47, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks again, looks great transcluded. TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:14, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * For the Anatomy of the Human Body (1918) it appears that the plates are already available on commons at here Its probably worth using those rather than recreating them over again? If so perhaps a comment informing proofers they can use those and add them when proofing would be useful. Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:43, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Those appear a bit touched up to me. Languageseeker (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

BTW, could you also add the image to Page:Stevenson - Treasure Island.djvu/8? Languageseeker (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Also, realized that I missed a few in Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 22).djvu and Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 23).djvu. Languageseeker (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

December MC
Season's Greeting. I hope the time brings you great joy. If you have a moment, would you mind adding images to Languageseeker (talk) 15:55, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

January MC
Happy New Years. May it bring you peace and prosperity!

If you have a chance would you mind adding the images for
 * Index:Notes Upon The Owners Of The Sancy Diamond.djvu
 * Index:The Strand (Volume 73).pdf - can come straight from the PDF
 * Index:Copper Sun.pdf - can come straight from the PDF
 * Index:Mosquitos (Faulkner).pdf
 * Index:Twilight Sleep (Grosset).pdf

Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 04:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Sp1nd01,
 * Indeed, Happy New Years! Thanks for getting such a quick start on the drop initials, although I decided to increase the sizes to either 60px or 65px so that they are closer to fitting with 3 lines (not sure why they don't all look the same at a fixed number of pixels, but anyway). I hope that is okay.
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 22:27, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Happy New Year all! I never know the required sizing for the images, so just do a best guess to what I think looks right. I've no objections to them being changed. Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:59, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Can I add Index:The Ballad of the Brown Girl.pdf to the list? The images can be taken directly from the PDF Languageseeker (talk) 12:19, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I am having problems accessing the images from the Strand .pdf file. I did manage to get a few images yesterday, but I now constantly receive a error message:-
 * If you report this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the details below.
 * Request from (my ip address) via cp3059 cp3059, Varnish XID 635430458
 * Upstream caches: cp3059 int
 * Error: 500, Internal Server Error at Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:46:45 GMT
 * I have tried from another system and receive the same error. It seems to me to be an issue with the file as I have had no problems accessing other images from other books. Do you have a source location where I can access the images directly? or can you check out what is happening with the file?
 * Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * So sorry that you encountered that error. The scans came from Languageseeker (talk) 23:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help already. Would you mind also doing Index:Now We Are Six (1955).pdf?Languageseeker (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Sp1nd01 I just saw you started adding images to Now We Are Six. Many thanks, some of them really make me smile. I hope to get through a bit more of the proofreading on the weekend, in case you catch up. If I have to fix up any of the formatting, just let me know. Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll try and add the images over the next couple of days. I'm not sure if some of the ones I have added are breaking the formatting, I've tried straight left or right and even an img float, but the text may not be wrapping correctly. I think I'll have to just add the images and leave the formatting for the experts. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:53, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @TeysaKarlov @Languageseeker FYI I've just been sent a message on my Commons Talk Page saying all the image files I have created for "Now We Are Six" are to be deleted for copyright violation. I guess I'll not be uploading any more, so many hours of wasted time :-( Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:32, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It's probably because they are still copyright outside of the USA. enWS allows works that are only in the PD in the US, but Commons does not. I'll ask an admin to move them to enWS. So, don't worry, your work will not be lost. Incidentally, now that I think about it, we went through the same scenario with Winnie the Pooh. Languageseeker (talk) 15:42, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's Good to know, there are still a number of images for me to upload, shall I wait until the commons images have been moved to enWS before continuing? if so I don't think I've uploaded to anywhere else but commons, what is the process for doing this? Do you know if there are there any instructions available? Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that uploading to Commons is probably the easiest way. Otherwise, you can use the Upload File in the sidebar, but the interface is not as refined on enWS. Languageseeker (talk) 17:46, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've completed the uploads to commons. They are ready to be moved when someone has the time. Sp1nd01 (talk) 19:41, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks a bunch for adding these images. Sorry about the copyright issue, it crossed my mind to mention, but Languageseeker asked before I got round to it, and I guess I presumed/hoped that they had checked all was okay. The images for HHoA also much appreciated, as always. If I might dare add another request to a busy month, Index:The Bridge of San Luis Rey (Grossett & Dunlap).pdf? Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 04:58, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Also, these are all proofread, but lack images:
 * Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 11).djvu
 * Index:A complete course in dressmaking, (Vol. 5, Skirts) (IA completecoursein05cono).pdf
 * Index:The House of Mirth (1905).djvu

Images request...
Can you look into adding images for :- Index:Report of the Traffic Signs Committee (1963).pdf and Index:Traffic Signs for Motorways (1962).pdf

Also if you are feeling especially bored or generous- It would be nice to start to get some of the dimensioned sign images for TSGRD 1964 resolved. - SABRE's wiki has a complete set of images for the 1964 UK traffic Signs here ( https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Category:TSRGD_1964_diagrams_pictures), if you wanted to do some image extractions. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:20, 12 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for creating the correct category on commons for the images I created yesterday. I also noticed you tagged them as "should be .svg". Unfortunately I have no idea how to create .svg files, so shall I cease uploading my .png files until you find someone who can create the required .svg files? It will save duplicating effort. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please don't stop uploading the PNG's... The SVG request is a long term one, and it's been at Commons: Graphics lab for 2 years or so, with little response. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:09, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * In terms of creating SVG, Inkscape (www.inkscape.org) is an open source drawing tool that can generate them. There's also an extension/plugin for it that attempts to do outline tracing from PNG/JPG images. ( see https://inkscape.org/doc/tutorials/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html for a tutorial). Side note: Inkscape can also load single pages from PDF, which may be useful for extracting vector images out of other documents.  ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:01, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Inkscape's trace is fairly powerful BTW. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I've installed and had a go using creating images with Inkscape but its a lot more complicated and time consuming for me than the programs I am used to using, so I haven't had any luck with it. I've added the images as .png's, but someone else will have to convert them to .svg's for you.
 * I had also noticed an old document, UKSI 1985-0173.pdf which I was going to add the images to for you, but it has some strange template that I don't understand how to use. I created the first 2 images which I called UKSI 1985-0173 - p5a.png and UKSI 1985-0173 - p5b.png and uploaded to commons but then I got lost with the template so have stopped. If you can get them to work on the page for me I don't mind creating the rest of the images. Let me know. Sp1nd01 (talk) 17:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * UKroadsign? What did you get stuck with? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * For the 1985 document, you need to supply the full  in the file parameter to the UKroadsign/cy template. The logic isn't ideal.
 * BTW It would be preferable to name the files by the diagram number in the document ie the first image would be
 * Also see the existing naming for the UK_trafficsign diagrams at Commons.
 * The Author is UK Government not Westlaw. Please also see the license used on other traffic sign diagram images at Commmons, as the attribution has a special wording.
 * ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I've added the first images to p5 but they appear below the captions and the missing image flags are still showing. Would you take a look and correct them for me? I'm not a programmer so don't follow what's happening on that page. There also appears to be a line of text missing from the top of the page. Sp1nd01 (talk) 18:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

February MC
Happy February! If you have the time would you mind adding the images to: Languageseeker (talk) 02:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Index:The Chessmen of Mars.djvu using
 * The Land Ironclads and The Adventure of the Empty House in Index:The Strand Magazine (Volume 26).djvu
 * Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 12).djvu


 * Now done, note that Image 2 is not present in the copy of Historic highways of America Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Thanks again for the HHoA images. All good about the caption. I put a request in with the Scan Lab to add the extra pages. Not sure if its proving troublesome, that they're just busy, or that I needed to ping the Scan Lab when I put the request in for it to be seen. I might give it a few more days though. Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:08, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 Hello again. The new page is in for HHoA (Page:Historic highways of America (Volume 12).djvu/117). If you could also add/replace images for the following:
 * Page:Men without Women (1955).pdf/7,
 * Page:How to show pictures to children (IA howtoshowpictur00hurl).pdf/77,
 * Page:How to show pictures to children (IA howtoshowpictur00hurl).pdf/153,
 * that would be great.
 * Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:03, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Lettering images...
Index:Standard lettering (IA standardletterin01claf).pdf

I also put the "Caligraphy for Computers" paper on Wikisource at some point. It would be nice to finally have it complete :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Index:Little Lord Fauntleroy.djvu
 * Index:Mother India.pdf

A system of easy lettering...
It's a book of lettering (intended for sign writing). We have a PDF on Commons, but it's low quality, and for these you DO need to see the underlying grid.

Any chance of uploading the JP2 / JPEG scans (rectified), so that someone can convert them to an appropriate vector format? 12:02, 5 March 2023 (UTC)


 * also pinging, The BIG idea here would be for someone to encode these in a manner like some sites have encoded the Hershey font data into a more readable format. Ultimately it would be nice to have these as some kind of properly encoded font set, but SVG fonts are still experimental, and making a full blown OTF is beyond limited  contributor efforts.

Hello again Sp1nd01,

Any images added to the following would be much appreciated:

Index:The Algebra of Mohammed Ben Musa (1831).djvu - 16 pages

Index:The Tower Treasure (1927).pdf - 1 page + cover

Index:The House On The Cliff.pdf - 1 page + cover

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:19, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!
I just wanted to say thanks, I noticed that you have gone through and added pictures to complete many of the texts I proofread, most recently The Achehnese. The photos look great! MarkLSteadman (talk) 02:35, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for following up on that one... hopefully you're finding the story as amusing as I did, lol. Jarnsax (talk) 18:58, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Index:1965 Moynihan Report.pdf
Since you seem to like (and be good at) fixing images, if you could add the missing few here to your to do list, it's pretty much "ready" other than that. The work has actually been partly transcluded (long ago) at The Negro Family and has a wiki article (at en:wikipedia:The Negro Family: The Case For National Action) so it would be nice to get it finished. Jarnsax (talk) 21:42, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * All for getting things finished, images are now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Transcluded, poster added on enwiki, added to wikidata, etc. Many thanks. :) Jarnsax (talk) 09:39, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Local uploads
Hi. When you are loading files locally, please use the templates information or book as appropriate. Please do not leave such files sparse on data. The upload page is quite specific and it is a bit rude to leave that to others to fix. Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  00:53, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

May MC (mostly)
Hi @Sp1nd01,

These aren't all from the MC, but if you are so inclined, that would be nice:

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 14).djvu

Index:Historic highways of America (Volume 15).djvu (or you can wait a month or so, but it seems someone has skipped ahead with proofreading)

Index:The ocean and its wonders.djvu (admittedly, quite a few images)

Index:The castle of Otranto (Third Edition).djvu (one page)

Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 8.djvu (two pages)

Not sure how it works with copyright for this logo, but perhaps just one clean logo for both pages of Page:Final Report of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.pdf/844 and Page:Final Report of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.pdf/845, if you can, would be great.

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Otranto image now added. For the Select Committee Logo, I found one had already been created by a user (as their own work) so I added that one. Should avoid any copyright issue. Hope its ok to use it, if not I could create a copy and upload it with the license used for the report, but I don't know if that would be acceptable or not, worst case, someone would have to delete it. I'll try and complete the others next week. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:50, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Sp1nd01,
 * The logo is okay by me, and more than happy to err on the side of caution. As always, thanks for the assistance.
 * Regards,
 * TeysaKarlov (talk) 00:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Sketches of Tokyo Life images
Would you mind creating the images for Sketches of Tokyo Life? The copyright status is marked with the file, and high-quality images can be found at Internet Archive. I can handle the transclusion. Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:44, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've now added the images. My colour editing is pretty basic using levels adjustments so if they are not as you required maybe someone with better skills can update them for you. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * They look fine, thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Self-Communion (Anne Brontë) images
Would you mind creating the images for Index:Self-Communion (1900).pdf? I appreciate your work for Sketches of Tokyo Life. The pages needing images are either marked as “problematic” or not created, as before. Unfortunately, I only have the PDF to go by. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Images added with the facsimiles as greyscale .png, hope they are OK like that. Sp1nd01 (talk) 22:05, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you! They look great. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Index:Optics.djvu
Hi, I've noticed that you are helping out adding pictures to the monthly challenge works. The monthly challenge for October 2019 was An Elementary Treatise on Optics. Is there any chance you can add the pictures on the last 8 pages marked plate? There is a link to higher resolution scans on the Index page linked in this header. I've had this work in my watchlist for a while and I would love if it could be finished. Thank you! Seperation (talk) 20:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC)


 * This may take me a while!
 * I've uploaded the first 20 images for Plate 1 to commons category "An Elementary Treatise on Optics", but I will need an example of using the AEToOi template to follow. Copying user:TE(æ)A,ea. If you could you add an image example for me so I can follow. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

June Monthly Challenge
Hello again @Sp1nd01,

If you can add images to the following, that would be great:

Index:Heidi - Spyri - 1922.djvu

Index:America a Prophecy.djvu - If this is too much trouble, that's okay, given that the images and text seemed joined in places... that said, if you get some images to work from I can then try overfloating the text if needed

Index:The Sacred Tree (Waley 1926).pdf

Many thanks, as always, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Images now added.
 * For Heidi a number of existing plates had already been added, so I have not replaced them. I have uploaded higher resolution copies of them if you decide to replace them.
 * For America a Prophecy, I have tried to keep as much of non text illustrations where possible. If you think anything needs adding or removing let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Index:Silver Shoal Light.djvu
Can you extract and upload the some images for this index? They're in 2 pages that I've marked as 'Problematic'. Ciridae (talk) 14:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Ciridae (talk) 04:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, and clash avoidance
Hi there. Thanks for all the work that you do on uploading images in support of my efforts and those of others.

I do try and mix things up by doing work on images for the books I'm working on, so just to let you know, in case you track my efforts, I have most of the work done on the images for 'Goblin Market (Christina Rossetti)' and 'The Shepheardes Calender' (Spenser), and I'll be uploading them in the next few days.

If you have the opportunity, could you have a go at a few more of the portraits from 'Hudibras'? I periodically try to do them myself but I can't achieve the same standard as you, even using the .jp2 files and following the instructions you posted somewhere on here. I just lose the fine detail.

Thanks again. Chrisguise (talk) 11:07, 7 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'll try and complete the Hudibras images over the next week or so, I am finding them fairly difficult to process as well.
 * Thanks for the info on the other works your preparing, I'll leave them well alone!
 * I try and check that the images I add are for oldish outstanding works, but sometimes I stumble on recently added ones, just message me if I am interfering with anything else you are planning to work on. Sp1nd01 (talk) 20:54, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

1622 images
Could you please create some (less than 1,622) images from here (high-quality originals at IA)? Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Images now added for you. Sp1nd01 (talk) 09:39, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you! TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023 MC images
Please add images to the following works, if you are so inclined:


 * Index:The Tibetan Book of the Dead (1927).djvu
 * Index:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 7.djvu
 * Index:Rolland - Beethoven, tr. Hull, 1927.pdf

Thanks as always. MER-C (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Images now added. For Info, The Tibetan Book of the Dead Mentions there should be an emblem at the back of the book, (The Indian Wheel of the Law (Dharma-Chakra)) but it is missing from this copy. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:04, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

August MC
Hello again @Sp1nd01,

It seems I missed last months image request. At any rate, hopefully most of these texts should and up being worked on/are close to finished:

Index:The Mikado or the town of titipu.djvu - one page

Index:The black tulip (IA 10892334.2209.emory.edu).pdf - two covers

Page:The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy (Volume 3).pdf/175 - two pages

Index:The lay of the Nibelungs; (IA nibelungslay00hortrich).pdf - I haven't looked through it all, but maybe just one page, although the scan isn't great

Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 9.pdf - I believe just two pages (Img and 7, unless the calligraphic T has already been created for a previous volume)

Index:A Culture of Copyright - A. Wallace.pdf - not sure what the issue is with the images in this (if you understand what need alt attribute is referring to, then maybe just something to modify)

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Alt is a suitable alternative text providing a written text of the image, for example, for screen readers which can than speak it out or so that search engines can find the image. MarkLSteadman (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @TeysaKarlov @MarkLSteadman, Not sure about this last one. I've attempted 2 alt captions but don't have a clue if what I have added is what is being looked for. Other images seem to have so much text it's probably not worth adding, but I don't know how this works and what the expected outcome would be, so probably best if I leave them to the more experienced editors.
 * The other images are now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 17:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @MarkLSteadman Thanks for the explanation, although like Sp1nd01, not really sure what alternative text to add. If it isn't strictly necessary, but just nice to have, then I would be tempted to just mark the pages proofread.
 * @Sp1nd01 As always, thanks for the images! TeysaKarlov (talk) 00:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 If I could request another set of images this month: Index:Cornelli (IA cornelli00spyr 0).pdf. Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 23:13, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Now done, the last image is a little blurred, I've had a quick look to see if there is a better copy available, but haven't found one. Sp1nd01 (talk) 14:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01. Thanks again for adding more images. I didn't realise at first, but pages Page:Cornelli (IA cornelli00spyr 0).pdf/2, Page:Cornelli (IA cornelli00spyr 0).pdf/3, Page:Cornelli (IA cornelli00spyr 0).pdf/298 and Page:Cornelli (IA cornelli00spyr 0).pdf/299 sort of have images on them (it seems like they are the same images, so you only need two). Are these something that you can add (and sorry for not realising)? Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Now added, for info, I had a go at combining them together with a little cloning to stitch some lines together, I uploaded it to commons if you think it's usable please add it in as required. If not then no worries. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 It looked good to me (I don't think I would have known it was two separate images if I hadn't seen them first). That said, given I wasn't the one who was proofreading, I would rather ask them (but I can't? ping a non-registered user). The single images are also nice, being zoomed in a little more. Anyway, we'll see what happens. TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Can you extract and upload the images for this work? I've marked the corresponding pages as 'Problematic.' Thanks in advance! Ciridae (talk) 09:19, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Could you please create the three images from this work? They are the frontispiece and the two pages marked “problematic.” The Internet Archive scans are of high quality. Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this! Would you mind doing the images from here, please? High-quality scans may be found here. (Also, I just saw your mention of me above, under “Optics;” are you good on that front?) TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 00:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Images added for you.
 * I had forgotten to follow up on the Optics Book, at the time I just added the images using the standard template, and they appear OK, but will not reverse link. If you could update a few examples for me I'll see if I can progress it to the desired standard. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have made an example with the second image here. (The first one is an exception, but the second one follows the usual form.) The form is: . In addition, could you make a new image for here from here, please? The original image was derived from the DJVU copy and thus has DJVU corruption (most clear around the eyes). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 05:16, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Some more old works: Index:A Recitall of that which hath happened in the Kings Armie.pdf (from here) and Index:A discvurse of the great ouerthrow.pdf (from here), please! TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Images now added. Sp1nd01 (talk) 23:13, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sp1nd01: Could you also add the title-image from The Recluse? Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 04:34, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sp1nd01: Would you mind adding the images for this index (from here)? Thank you. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 03:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the armillæ images, they are quite nice! Would you mind creating the images from “The Mask,” please? I hope you enjoy your break! TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:05, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I’m just leaving this request here for now, but would creating a few images from an assortment of broadsides I scanned? Here’s the list: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Images from National Library of Scotland chapbooks
Hi there. I have fixed quite a few of these now and keep coming across the same missing images (usually dividers between songs/poems). I upload images processed from the individual page image jpg's at the NLS website but when I come across ones that are the same as those previously uploaded, I struggle to find them again on Commons. I know you've done some of the images from such works too. In an attempt to avoid doing the same thing over and over I've created two new categories 'Dividers from NLS chapbooks' and 'Woodcuts from NLS chapbooks' on Commons, in the hope that this will enable me to find images more easily. Hopefully, as they become populated, they may save you time and effort too. Chrisguise (talk) 10:18, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

October Monthly Challenge
Hello @Sp1nd01,

It seems I missed a request for last month, but I'll try and make up for it this time:

Page:Xenophon by Alexander Grant.djvu/191 - It seems Chrisguise beat you to this image, but if you can find/create a cleaner version (on a white background) that would be great. If not, all good.

Index:UAP Independent Study Team - Final Report.pdf - It seems most of these images can actually be hosted, quoting MarkLSteadman from the Scriptorium "If the images are works produced by NASA, Navy or the DoD they likely can be added as government employees on official duty they can't claim copyright". That being the case, it seems only the image on Page:UAP Independent Study Team - Final Report.pdf/4 should be left out.

Index:Fairy Tales for Worker's Children.djvu - Still going through, and marking missing images, but I should be done shortly.

Index:Baum - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.djvu - I realise there are a lot of images, but if you are feeling determined, they would be nice to have.

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * P.S. Thanks for all the images. I realise I also forgot Index:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 1.djvu, which is close to complete. TeysaKarlov (talk) 19:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * P.P.S. Just realised you had started adding some of the images to Jules Verne before my second comment. Evidently forgot to check the index recently... Sorry. TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've created images for some of the pages for the Wizard of Oz but unfortunately I am not able too complete it. Many of the pages are to complex for me, the text is over the image and it's beyond my ability to remove it. Maybe someone else has the skills required to complete them for you? Sorry about that.
 * Re: Xenophon, I have been unable to locate a better quality image than that Chrisguise found. Sp1nd01 (talk) 10:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Index:The Heart of England.djvu
Hi! Can you extract and upload the images for this work? It's mostly the front matter, I think. Ciridae (talk) 08:17, 20 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Now done, Re: the pink fairy book, I see that another user has spent time creating or adding existing images. Are you wanting them grey-scaled or recreating? Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Grey scaled and without the background. Ciridae (talk) 04:19, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Index:The pink fairy book (IA pinkfairybooklan00lang).pdf
Hi! Can you extract and upload the images for this work? The pages are marked 'Problematic'. Ciridae (talk) 06:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

December Monthly Challenge
Hi! Could you extract and upload the images for the works in this month's MC? I've listed them below: Ciridae (talk) 06:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Index:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu: You can find the list of illustrations on the index page.
 * Index:The Next Naval War - Eardley-Wilmot - 1894.djvu: The frontispiece and cover image.
 * Index:The return of the soldier (IA returnofsoldier00west2).pdf: The frontispiece, and images facing pages 6, 66, 176.


 * Also, this page in Little Lord Fauntleroy: Page:Little Lord Fauntleroy.djvu/5. Thanks! Ciridae (talk) 05:40, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * May I add Index:Travels in West Africa, Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons (IA travelsinwestafr00kingrich).pdf to this list? The list of illustrations is on pages xv and xvi. From cursory inspection, most of the not proofread pages have missing images. Thanks! MER-C 10:06, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that's all of the first 4 completed. I've made a start on the Travels images. Sp1nd01 (talk) 12:53, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for these. A few more: Page:ISC-China.pdf/43 (and maybe Page:ISC-China.pdf/66), Index:The New Yorker 0001 1925-02-21.pdf, and Index:The Music of the Spheres.djvu. MER-C 03:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sp1nd01 I've been doing some of the transcription of 'The Music of the Spheres'. By my count there are about 160 individual images (some plates but mostly small diagrams). If you want to share the burden, let me know and we can agree a split. Someone has already created a category (The Music of the Spheres (Grondal)) on Commons which can be used to collect them. Chrisguise (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I would like to share the workload on that one. I'm not going to be active on the site from tomorrow evening until early in the new year, so I will check in with you and follow up on the progress then. Thanks Sp1nd01 (talk) 23:29, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. If I get the chance to make a start, I'll begin at the end and work my way backwards. Chrisguise (talk) 10:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, the title page of A Wreath of Cloud: Page:A Wreath of Cloud.djvu/7. Ciridae (talk) 06:40, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ciridae @MER-C @Sp1nd01In Sp1nd01's absence I have finished off Index:Travels in West Africa, Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons (IA travelsinwestafr00kingrich).pdf Chrisguise (talk) 06:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ciridae@MER-C@Sp1nd01I have uploaded all of the images from 'The Music of the Spheres' (not my original plan). There are no individual page files on IA, the torrent there hangs up at 99.7% each time I try it and the djvu file on WS isn't even on IA. As a result, I ended up scalping the images off Gutenberg. Although the quality isn't the best, as many of the diagrams are only small the images should be adequate. It would be good to try and improve the plates. I've done the first one, by downloading the page from WS, which produced a reasonable result. Chrisguise (talk) 10:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've done the title page for A Wreath of Cloud using the title page image for one of the previous works in the series, though it could do with some improvement. Ciridae (talk) 11:17, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, just checking if you need any assistance from me now that you have sourced the images for Music of the Spheres, or are you happy to link them in yourself? Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for completing the images on that one. Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, thanks. I'll keep on plodding through the transcription and add them as I go, as well as re-doing any images that I think need it. Chrisguise (talk) 00:34, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

January Monthly Challenge
Hello again @Sp1nd01, and happy new years, even if January is almost over by the time I got round to saying so, and putting in this request. I hope you enjoyed a bit of a break, but if you are up for it, images for the following would be much appreciated:

March Monthly Challenge
Hi @Sp1nd01,

It seems time has been getting away from me, as I meant to type this image request a couple of weeks back...

Index:Brinkley - China - Volume 1.djvu

Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 11.pdf

Index:Self-help with illustrations of conduct and perseverance (IA selfhelpwithillu00smiliala).pdf - Maybe just the Frontispiece, but if any other images are incorrect, then perhaps swap those out also.

As always, many thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 03:02, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

I realise it is a large request this month, but some of them (e.g. violet fairy book) are going to take quite a while to proofread, so no rush.

Many thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * P.S. Thanks for everything you have added thus far. Any chance I could also tack on a couple more?

 * Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 00:49, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
 * P.P.S. If possible, could I have one last image for National Geographic, vol 1. Specifically, the legend (the five arrows and optionally the circle above them) for this table (e.g.~Page:The National geographic magazine, volume 1.djvu/81). The tables for all four missing image pages seem to be identical (very glad when I noticed this, and only had to make one), so one image will suffice. Thanks again, TeysaKarlov (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't spot those, they are now added to p81 as requested. You may want to adjust the sizing of them to suit. Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:41, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Or even p77, got my pages crossed.... Sp1nd01 (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @Sp1nd01, All good size-wise, and thanks for adding them as individual arrows. The tables looked identical to me, so not really a mix up, and now Nat. Geo. vol 1 can be officially crossed off the list. TeysaKarlov (talk) 01:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

May Monthly Challenge
Hello @Sp1nd01,

It seems it is that time again, a random point within the month when more images are to be requested:

Index:L M Montgomery - Chronicles of Avonlea.djvu

Index:Following the Equator (Mark Twain).djvu

Index:LJRAdventures.pdf

Index:Pellucidar.djvu

Index:Early western travels, 1748-1846 (1907 Volume 2).djvu

Index:Malleus maleficarum translated by Montague Summers (1928).djvu

Besides Following the Equator, there shouldn't be too many images in the above, but no rush (I'm still behind on my proofreading from last month, let alone all the tables...)

Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * For Early Western Travels, the Map listed under Illustrations is missing from the original source. I have not had any luck finding an alternate copy. Also the Facsimile page has been manually typed in, is an Illustration required for that page or should it be left as is (It is just text)? Sp1nd01 (talk) 11:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * For the map high quality scans from a different edition of Long's work are found here: https://archive.org/details/johnlongsvoyages00long/page/n9/mode/1up and here: https://archive.org/details/johnlongsvoyages00long_0/page/n9/mode/1up.  For comparison lower quality versions from this edition are available here: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.tz145h&seq=37 and https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.81435/37.

 * Thank you for locating those. I've added the one from the second source because the first one has a couple of distorted letters. Sp1nd01 (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks and a question
Hi, thanks for the images you've been adding to "1911 Encyclopædia Britannica". Is there an automated (or semi-automated) process you use for adding images? I'd like to add more myself, thanks. DivermanAU (talk) 04:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, No problems, I'm happy to help out with images. Unfortunately I do not know of an automated process for creating them, I just have to prepare each one manually. Sorry! Sp1nd01 (talk) 12:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. No problem, I'll keep using the manual process for adding images too. I'm currently working on adding images to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Ordnance article. I appreciate your efforts in adding images to EB1911, keep up the good work!. DivermanAU (talk) 12:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
