Thank You Adam for doing this.

Yes indeed, it was Tudor School Boy Life

As I said I gave up, and indeed I haven't visited WS since, which is why I neither took it to the help forum, and haven't as yet replied to your question.

Perhaps this is an unfortunate attitude on my part, but perhaps I am not the only person to respond in this way when feeling frustrated.

Anyway, I'll have another crack at it.

all the best

Yes I tried this . . . once. I create the DjVU file and got it onto commons but then when I tried to get it on Wikisource, I discovered there were forbidden characters in the file name which I had not been warned about before. After a bit more mucking about I gave up. All a bit frustrating really.

I've never heard of forbidden characters before, beyond the usual for all computers. You never did reply to my question, nor take this to the help forum.

Assuming you mean "File:Tudorschoolboyl01vivegoog.djvu" (as another user suggested), I could not reproduce your error. However, while I was examining it, I took the time to clean it up, replace it with a better copy (I try to avoid Google scans, they are frequently extremely poor quality) and had it renamed, per Commons policy, to "File:Tudor School-boy Life (1908) by Juan Luis Vives.djvu". (NB: The translator counts for copyright purposes, so I changed the licence too.)

There is still a small problem, Proofread Page isn't automatically recognising it as a DjVu file, but that can be fixed manually.

If you still want to try, click the wikisource logo on the Commons page, create and save. (Manual fixes that would be useful: add the <pagelist /> tag to the Pages section; change Scans to "djvu"; and change Progress to "To be proofread". I have no idea why it isn't doing this automatically at the moment.)
