Sherlock Holmes (1899 play)
Requesting scans of William Gillette's 1899 play Sherlock Holmes. The text, which is PD-US, is available at the Diogenes Club website, and could be checked against the 1976 and 1977 editions available for checkout at the Internet Archive, but I would prefer to do side-by-proofreading if possible. The copyright pages of these later editions list a 1922 edition published by Samuel French, Ltd., which would be PD-US. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk | contribs) 07:20, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Worldcat says ProQuest has a copy in the LION collection (but I don't have access to any of PQ): https://www.proquest.com/lion/docview/2151185961 Inductiveload— talk/contribs 09:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! It showed up as unavailable when I logged in, but I appreciate the pointer to a source of texts. I just acquired a physical copy which I can scan, so all's well that ends well on my end! —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk | contribs) 23:59, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Great, let me know if you need help making a file out of it.
 * I just checked back and actually that work is actually available though the Wikipedia Library access. However, it only has a transcript and no scans. Let me know if you'd like the transcript as a match-and-split source. Inductiveload— talk/contribs 11:06, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Belatedly, yes, I would appreciate both of those things! At the moment, I have scans of all the pages as PNGs, which need to be split down the middle (I'm using a scanning app on my phone, so it's hard to get it to recognize just one of the pages). What are the next steps for turning those into a file? (I also have close-ups of the ground plans for each act, which I can upload separately to Commons.) —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 04:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

 * LION text posted here User:Languageseeker/SH. Conveniently comes with page breaks. Languageseeker (talk) 04:59, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! That will be really helpful —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 05:04, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @CalendulaAsteraceae re the scans, the tool I would use there is ScanTailor Advanced.
 * If you like, I'll do it for you (plus OCR and DJVU compilation). If you upload the files somewhere and send me the link (e.g. Internet Archive, or you can email me a private link to a Dropbox-like service, or I can email you a place you can upload them), I'll sort it out the best I can.
 * "One Day" I will fix up some documentation on Scan Tailor, but sadly that day is not today. Inductiveload— talk/contribs 06:26, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you, I would appreciate you doing it. I'll send you a link. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 07:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @CalendulaAsteraceae ✅ Index:Sherlock Holmes - A Drama in Four Acts - Doyle, Gillete - 1922.djvu. It came out "OK", but some of the pages are a little blurred and some had to be fairly aggressively de-warped. Since it's fairly short and there's good external text anyway, that's not really a big deal. Note, in future please name the files lexicographically by zero-padding, as otherwise "2" sorts after "100". Inductiveload— talk/contribs 09:18, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
