Learn about copyright rules on Wikisource and how to handle permissions

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
  • What is Copyright? Copyright protects the original creator's right to their work. Once a work is copyrighted, it can't be reproduced without permission unless it's in the public domain or licensed appropriately.
[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
  • Use s:Wikisource:Copyright to check if a work is public domain or free to use under a Creative Commons license.
  • Review the Fair use policy for handling works that may qualify for “fair use.”
  • Public Domain Works: These are works where the copyright has expired and are freely available for reuse. Generally, works published before 1923 in the U.S. are public domain. International rules can vary, so always double-check the copyright status.
    • Commons:Copyright rules by territory/India - In India, literary works enter public domain (PD) 60 years after the lifetime of the author or 60 years after publication for works created by corporations/companies.
  • Free License Works: Texts under Creative Commons or other open licenses that allow free use and redistribution.

Indexing & How to Add a Text

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]

Learn how to add new texts to Wikisource, including formatting and basic text contributions.

Proofreading

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]

Learn how to proofread and validate texts for accuracy.

Proofreading Process

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
  • How to Proofread:
    • Read through each page carefully.
    • Correct spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors.
    • Add missing words or fix misread text.
    • Mark any unclear sections for further review.

Validation

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]

Validation is the process of double-checking proofread pages to ensure accuracy and faithfulness to the original text. This step is crucial in maintaining the quality of works on Wikisource.

What is Validation?

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]

Validation involves reviewing another user's proofread work to confirm its correctness. It serves as the final step in the proofreading process, requiring a different user to validate a page after it has been proofread.

  • Validate Button:

When editing a page in the Page namespace, you'll find the "Page status" options at the bottom of the edit box. If a page is ready for validation, an additional green "Validate" button will appear alongside the standard status options.

For more detailed guidance, refer to the s:Help:Beginner's_guide_to_validation on Wikisource.

Transclusion in Wikisource

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]

Understand how to use transclusion to integrate various texts and elements into Wikisource.

What is Transclusion?

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
  • Definition: Transclusion is the process of including content from one page into another without duplicating it. In Wikisource, transclusion is used to reference sections of other texts, templates, or metadata.
  • Use s:Help:Beginner's guide to transclusion for guidance.

How to Use Transclusion

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
  • Syntax: Use
    • {{:Page name}}
    • <pages index="filename" include="X" header="1" />
    • For multiple pages: <pages index="filename" from="X" to="Y" header="1" />.

  • Learn more at s:Help:Templates.

Special Formatting and Multilingual Texts

[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
