Hello Indic Wikisource proofreaders, We are happy to announce that the Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2021 [1] is starting from tomorrow 15 August 2021 and will continue up to 31 August 2021. Like last year, we are facing the devastating effects of COVID-19, we urge you to stay inside your home to avoid exposure to the deadly virus. We are also expecting higher participation than the previous contest We heartily welcome new Wikimedians from various parts of the country to work on restoring our literary heritage to the digital era. Just like the previous contest held in November 2020, we again promising to wrap up everything within the expected timeline after the competition ends. We are going to keep our promise again. :-) Welcome you all to the contest. Regards, Jayanta Nath 1) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wikisource_Proofreadthon_August_2021

Wikisource meetup at Wikimania Unconforence

by Bodhisattwa Mandal

Hello all, Is it ok for all, if I book slot(s) at Wikimania Unconference <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference> for Wikisource meetup? If yes, what would be the preferred date and time? Or can we have multiple meetups to accommodate all timezones? The tables in the Unconference can only accommodate 20 people max. So, if there are enough interested Wikisourcers, multiple tables can also be booked for a given period of time, but the inherent structure of the Remo platform will prevent inter-table interaction among participants, which is the only disadvantage. Please share your thoughts on how to move forward. Regards, Bodhisattwa

Help wanted: local labels for Wikisources on Wikidata

by Sam Wilson

Hi everyone, I noticed the other day that there are a bunch of Wikisources whose Wikidata items don't have labels in the languages of those Wikisources. So if anyone knows how to write "Welsh Wikisource" in Welsh, it'd be great if you could go to Q24577651 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24577651> and add the Welsh label. Similarly for the rest of these: wd:Q15156667 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q15156667> Sanskrit Wikisource wd:Q18198097 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q18198097> Multilingual Wikisource wd:Q21205461 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q21205461> Latin Wikisource wd:Q24577647 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577647> Belarusian Wikisource wd:Q24577644 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577644> Old English Wikisource wd:Q24577650 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577650> Bosnian Wikisource wd:Q24577651 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577651> Welsh Wikisource wd:Q24577648 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577648> Bulgarian Wikisource wd:Q24577655 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577655> Modern Greek Wikisource wd:Q24577653 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577653> Danish Wikisource wd:Q24577658 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577658> Persian Wikisource wd:Q24577657 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577657> Estonian Wikisource wd:Q24577663 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577663> Croatian Wikisource wd:Q24577660 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577660> Faroese Wikisource wd:Q24577661 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577661> Galician Wikisource wd:Q24577666 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577666> Indonesian Wikisource wd:Q24577664 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577664> Haitian Creole Wikisource wd:Q24577669 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577669> Icelandic Wikisource wd:Q24577674 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577674> Limburgish Wikisource wd:Q24577678 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577678> Macedonian Wikisource wd:Q24577676 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577676> Lithuanian Wikisource wd:Q24577682 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577682> Norwegian Wikisource wd:Q24577683 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577683> Romanian Wikisource wd:Q24577686 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577686> Slovene Wikisource wd:Q24577684 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577684> Sakha Wikisource wd:Q24577685 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577685> Slovak Wikisource wd:Q24577688 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577688> Serbian Wikisource wd:Q24577695 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577695> Venetian Wikisource wd:Q24577693 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577693> Turkish Wikisource wd:Q24577696 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577696> Yiddish Wikisource wd:Q24577697 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24577697> Min Nan Wikisource wd:Q54893569 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q54893569> Piedmontese Wikisource wd:Q97568657 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q97568657> Ligurian Wikisource wd:Q107387552 <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q107387552> Balinese Wikisource

Wikisource Satisfaction Survey 2021

by Satdeep Gill

Hello everyone! We hope you are all doing well. There has been a lot of Wikisource infrastructure related development in the past year. A lot of which was done by the Community Tech team at the WMF, Grantees funded by the WMF or through projects like Google Summer of Code. We would like to understand what you feel about all of these different features and tools, be it the Wikisource Pagelist Widget or the new Ebook Export tool? We would like to take a little time to fill in this not so long survey. You can take the survey in English <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DOM1bMB2eFAz_Wfh8k6WT903NWWKIzHBbY6S-yoq-Q…>, Spanish <https://forms.gle/n91HW6W3C8D1z1T8A>, Polish <https://forms.gle/DEntVxSvoZx3n6Yt8>, Hindi <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XwkNV4FIMOvFm7aKQKDVdX_dtCITHINSVuPH67tefC…> or Punjabi <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eSV0taEMJ9WTFUdcXFwXRYAgzMD72bkAuiJfk3nhSk…>. (In an ideal world, the survey would be available in all the Wikisource languages, sadly we couldn't do it for this survey. We will try to be more inclusive in the future.) P.S. This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement (English <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Spanish <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Polish <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Hindi <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…> and Punjabi <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…> ) P.P.S.

Round table at Wikimania 2021

by Ruthven

Hi all, I've submitted a live round table at Wikimania. Check it out: https://pretalx.com/individuals-collectives-session-submission-2021/talk/re… It will be the occasion to discuss with Sam Wilson about the OCR improvements, and its testing. Possibly Natalia Rodriguez, Product Manager at Community Tech, will illustrate us the improvements they have in mind. I hope that we will use this occasion to make progress on the technical side! Cheers, Alex *Ruthven* on Wikipedia

IA Upload (new server)

by Sam Wilson

In an effort to improve performance, I've set up IA Upload on its own VPS: https://ia-upload.wmcloud.org/ <https://ia-upload.wmcloud.org/> The Toolforge installation at https://ia-upload.toolforge.org/ <https://ia-upload.toolforge.org/> is still there, but if the VPS proves better we can redirect there. Just wondering if anyone feels like testing out the new server and seeing if there's any improvement? Would love any feedback. The ticket for this work is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284528 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284528> Thanks! —Sam
