Mahometanism in its Relation to Prophecy/Rand

All Pages in Category:Incomplete texts without a source
There is an entire maintenance category for texts that have no known source and are incomplete. Most of these pages were created in the mid-2000s making them over a decade old. Without a known source, it's extremely difficult to complete them. Having incomplete texts that will never get finished in their current form ultimately degrades the overall quality of enWS. Rather than making 549 separate sections, I'm proposing to delete all the pages in this category. Of course, any page that is incorrectly tagged should not be deleted. Therefore, as part of the proposal, I'm also requesting that, if successful, the administrator who undertakes the deletion should verify that these texts are truly incomplete. Languageseeker (talk) 01:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Nonsensical reason for deletion. Deletions are evaluated on a work-by-work basis; your nomination of all works in this category makes it impossible to respond to each proposed work, especially as you have not given a deletion rationale for any of the works, merely a policy statement or opinion on the quality of the works themselves. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @TE(æ)A,ea. Every one of these works will have the same rationale: This is an unsourced, incomplete work that is over a decade old. However, I can understand if proper procedure requires individual deletion requests. Languageseeker (talk) 01:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Henry Ford radio speech I has a note that essentially says fragments can be found by searching the internet.  Something like that is a strong candidate for deletion.  However, Description of Greece (Jones) identifies a scan in the edit history from the Loeb Classical Library that is hosted at el.wikisource.  That's a completely different situation.  To lump both together under "the same rationale" does not hold up to even casual scrutiny. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:06, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Languageseeker: Your edits to those pages are defective; they reference deletion discussions which do not exist. In addition, the rationale you provide is neither tethered to the works in question nor independently sufficient. I have gone through this category myself, in the past, and have nominated some of the works individually; and those discussions went on for months. To add to EncycloPetey’s comment, many of the works listed here are U.S. laws, and as the U.S. Statutes at Large have indexes already created, there is certainly an available source for many of these works. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:09, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. We don't blanket delete items in a category, and especially as the contents of a category are dynamic. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:06, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

{{closed|Closing for no support in two months listing. --Neither pointless nor harmful-- seems a good summary of the comments.|text=

Template:Harper and Brothers logo
"This template inserts the X publishers logo image into a page." While these templates might be shorthand, they are redundant. There are at least hundreds of unique publisher marks that have been used on Wikisource over the years. In fact, many publishing companies, especially the popular ones, have used several if not dozens. If one wants to find the publisher mark they are looking for, they can look in the Commons category for that publisher, or even more conveniently, they can check the portal page for that publisher here on Wikisource itself, which will list them out in a
 * On balance, I think there's a case to be made that a templated system is a good idea, but the current implementation is rather poor.
 * Inductiveload— talk/contribs 08:58, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Inductiveload puts the situation very well. I acknowledge both the strengths and weaknesses of the approach. I created these because whenever I came across a really good scan of a logo, I would go around searching for inclusions of bad scans to replace. This got old really fast, so I templated.

I'm not going to die in a ditch over this one, but I don't see that deleting these improves our site. The case for deletion seems to be "these are pointless" rather than "these are harmful". I think they are neither.

Arch Linux Trademark Policy
{{closed|Deleted as out of scope. The wikipage from which this text was copied is not a specific published edition, but a constantly evolving wikipage (albeit on with som editing restrictions and a slow rate of change), and it has no responsible publisher (there's no legal entity publishing it upon whose authority we could lean). It is thus excluded by policy from hosting on Wikisource.|text= Added by new editor Matr1x-101. The sole source of this text that I can make out is a projectspace page on another MediaWiki wiki called ArchWiki. According to our inclusion policy:

{{blockquote|text=Wikisource's mission is to collect and preserve works in their published form. In light of this, works whose content is expected to constantly change over time, for the purpose of keeping the work updated, to improve the content matter of what has already been published, or to make the text more comprehensive, are excluded from Wikisource's scope.}}

This basically excludes any wiki page from ever being hosted separately at Wikisource, because we don't want to devolve into becoming a Wikipedia clone or a Wikia Fandom clone, which is what precedent something like that would set. If it exists solely on another wiki, keep it on that wiki, or else we'll have to keep up to date with their edit histories with our own. That's not a good use of resources or time.

If this document existed in published book or paper form prior to its publication on ArchWiki though (which I highly doubt), my opinion on it might change.

I'm not saying a wiki like ArchWiki and its contents shouldn't be archived somewhere, like on the Internet Archive for example, but Wikisource just really isn't the place for that. PseudoSkull (talk) 18:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Trademark Policy (not necessarily the content of the Wiki) is not a “work[] whose content is expected to constantly change over time”—just like the Compendium and free licenses, they are updated from time to time, but I don’t think that such variations make the Policy a work which “constantly change[s] over time.” TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 19:17, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, so it may not have been constantly updated, but it still just seems wrong to host a duplicate of what is on a wiki page, given that it could be updated, even in a minor way, at any given point by anyone who is allowed to, which would effectively invalidate the content that was previously there. Maybe there isn't direct precedent (yet) to exclude contents sourced from wiki pages, but maybe there should be. PseudoSkull (talk) 19:47, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} The only ways that we could effectively host content sourced directly from wiki pages are all very messy. One is if we had a bot that kept watch of those pages, and updated our page along with theirs. Another method would be to note the specific revision that our version was taken from, and (theoretically) make new "versions" every time there's an update. I don't think any of that is a good idea, especially when you consider that cloning content from Wiki #1 to Wiki #2 on a regular basis is pretty redundant in and of itself. If we make an exception for ArchWiki on the grounds that it isn't updated often, that gives precedent to potentially include hundreds or thousands of other similar wikis that have similar amounts of relevance to the world, so we'd have to come up with similarly unDRY and messy maintenance procedures for all those wikis.

Treaty of Versailles
This text has been compiled from several sources, and such compilations are excluded from Wikisource scope by WS:What Wikisource includes. Deleting the text will create space for addition of some original publication.-- Jan Kameníček (talk) 20:08, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I don’t what the “compilation” was supposed to mean, as all three sources have the same, full text of the treaty (so far as I can see). It is not as if the “Treaty of Versailles” is a compilation of three separate works; it is one work, which has been published as a whole. Scan-backing may be performed against the copy in the United States Treaty Series/Volume 2. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources do not have identical texts. E.g. the given source https://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/versailles.html does not have preamble and protocol, which are taken from another source. The source http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/dfat/treaties/1920/1.html does not have the table with signatures which has been taken from elsewhere. Our text is a compilation, as it was also noted at its talk page. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with the deletion rationale. Languageseeker (talk) 00:50, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The text currently hosted here is clearly a compilation from three separate sources and therefore corresponding to none of them; and two of the sources are secondary transcriptions from no known original. The current wikipage(s) at Treaty of Versailles should be deleted and, once the edition of the treaty published in USSL has been proofread, replaced with a redirect to that. Once multiple editions of the treaty have been proofread, the wikipage can be turned into a versions page.The treaty was published in the Australian Treaty Series (1920 No. 1), as well as the United Kingdom Treaty Series (004/1919 / Cmd. 153) and United States Treaty Series (Vol. 2 p.43); and probably in the United States Statutes at Large, although I couldn't find that version just now. All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS Versailles was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between the Treaty of Versailles as a legal construct, and the various editions of the text of the Treaty of Versailles. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The text on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself). The legal construct of the treaty on enWS only corresponds with a versions page (or possibly even a Portal); but it is specific published editions of the text of the treaty that are in scope for us to host. --Xover (talk) 08:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Xover: The United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, because of the League of Nations; the US–Germany Peace Treaty (which was published in the Statutes) mentions that treaty and incorporates some of its provisions, but the text of the Treaty of Versailles is not to be found in U.S.Stat. I think one consideration which needs to be had here is the number of internal (and external from Wikipedia) links to this copy of the Treaty of Versailles. That is one of the main reasons I proposed keeping and backing to an existing scan: so that all of the links can stay operational. Your thoughts? TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:55, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @TE(æ)A,ea.: Good point. I agree it'd be best if we could have a (policy-compliant) text of the treaty here, but I don't have the capacity to fast-track a proofread just now. If somebody else wants to volunteer I'm sure nobody would object to leaving the old one up for a while.When replacing it we need to delete the old page and recreate it just to keep Wikidata correct (it detects deletes automatically; but if we just replace the content the Wikidata will be wrong). But that's just a technical issue. --Xover (talk) 20:14, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I've loaded a scan to Commons, and added a migrate to template. Can people who know this subject check that everything is OK, and perhaps begin transcription, if the scan is acceptable? --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There is now a scan-backing Index that has been fully transcribed. I am now tidying up the work and transcluding from the scan. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
