Questions

Hi, Two questions- 1) Is there any bot running which can use the IA upload tool to transfer files from Internet Archive to Commons? I see lots and lots of public domain files in IA but they are not present in Commons. Its next to impossible to be done manually. 2) Is there any bot running, which can create index pages in respective language Wikisources, whenever a pdf or djvu files are uploaded from IA? If they are not present, can theses bot accounts be created? Regards -- Bodhisattwa

Wikimania and Wikimedia Conference
by Andrea Zanni 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi everyone, I have to announcements: * first, it's important that we (well, you :-D) propose some presentations for the next Wikimania! Here's the first link: https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions and here the form: https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=32150105.VwjvwGiYLmCOfH5I I've put myself as a Liason for Wikisource and the organizing team, so make sure to submit stuff, it's important we are present at this Wikimania. * second: I would like to ask a scholarship to represent the Wikisource Community User Group at the next Wikimedia Conference, in Berlin. I think it's important to send someone for the UG, and I hope that for you is OK that I'm proposing myself. It's most and "advocacy/politics" conference, as many of you know, and I would like to push things for us. We did a great job in Vienna and I hope someone will be willing to listen :-) Andrea

Edit in view
by Alex Brollo 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I'm using a personal jQuery tool into mul.source, named Edit in view, that allows a very fast edit of a nsPage page while staying in view mode, using mw.API routines to read and save wikicode. It has too a preview option using a parse API call. My question is: can such a procedure be considered safe? Alex brollo

One Wikisource for Two Punjabi Scripts
by Satdeep Gill 20 Dec '15

20 Dec '15

Hi, As of now we don't have any separate Wikisource project for Punjabi. We have two Wikipedias as Punjabi is written in two scripts; One is LTR and the other one is RTL. I was wondering if it is possible to have one Wikisource for both the scripts. We have many texts especially the ones written before 1947, which are available in both the scripts. We can work one making the new ones available in the other script by using a transliteration tool and some proofreading. Is it possible to create an interface for these two different scripts? Regards Satdeep Gill

Community Wishlist Survey and Wikisource
by Andrea Zanni 18 Dec '15

FYI: Danny was saying good things towards us in a Wikimedia-l thread, so I replied as you see below. Good job, guys.

In the Wikisource Conference, held in Vienna from 20 to 22 November, we discussed a lot about what Wikisource needs to reach it's full potential as a project. We decided to agree on a priority list (here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wscon2015needs) and also to participate in the Survey. But, if you feel brave enough, there is the whole 665 lines Etherpad here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wscon2015weekend [1] Wikisource, as a project, is completely dependent on the Proofread Page Extension [2]. Unfortunately, the extension is maintained by volunteers only (I think, just one: Tpt). Also, the extension doesn't support RTL languages: so Wikisources in arabic, hebrew, farsi, indic languages don't really work as the others. This is to be added to the fact that there is no good embedded OCR for Indic languages, right now. And, finally, to the simple fact that we'd love to have the Visual Editor, *within* the ProofreadPage Extension, as Wikisource uses a *lot* of formatting, and that could enable many, many more users in proofreading and validating pages. Of course, we are a small community, but we're trying really hard to make our case. At the moment, to the best of my knowledge, there is no, and there's never been, any software development dedicated to Wikisource from the WMF. Aubrey (also a member of the Wikisource Community User Group) [1] I hereby claim this as the longest Etherpad written by a group of wikimedians (~40). I hope there is a prize for it. You can even read the Wikisource mission forged and translated in real time in 21 languages (line 564). [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Proofread_Page

Page to monitor Commons nominated deletions
by billinghurst 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

After I had another hissy fit at Commons administrators about WS works being deleted and no means to track them, they created https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SteinsplitterBot/DR/enwikisource I would encourage other wikis to talk to Steinsplitter to get a similar page set up for their wikisource. I am going to need a better means to monitor it than manually checking from a watchlist, however, it is a start. Regards, Billinghurst

That is, more Wikipedia users click on and follow citations to the scholarly literature *from* Wikipedia domains than from any single scholarly publisher in the world. What does this tell us about general interest in the scholarly literature? What does this tell us about scholarly engagement with editing Wikipedia articles? The short answer is “we don’t know.” But we are actively working with Wikimedia to find out. *Building the sum of all human citations* Dario Taraborelli, WIkimedia Foundation As sourcing and verifiability of online information are threatened <http://www.slideshare.net/dartar/citing-as-a-public-service-building-the-su…> by the explosion of answer engines and the changing habits of web users, Wikimedia has an outstanding opportunity to extract and store source data for every conceivable statement and make it transparently verifiable by its users.

Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum
by Alex Brollo 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

I'm deeply convinced that splitting wikisource projects into variuos languages has been a mistake. Is anyone so bold to imagine that it is possible to revert that mistake? Or, are we forced to travel along the* diabolicum* trail? Alex
