This is a mess , with 2 different styles of sidenotes used.

Can someone set ONE style consistently across this, and leave a note on the talk page? [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 23:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

(contracted; show full)it's just what Greek looks like in books of that era. I've also swapped out for the {{tl|polytonic}} template, which seems to render better than {{tl|Greek}} for at least some users. As I understand it, the {{tl|Greek}} template is for ''modern'' Greek, and {{tl|polytonic}} is for Ancient Greek. The latter includes many diacritical marks that do not exist in the modern language. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

== Copyright information ==

This is related to [[#Copyright]] above:

If you could have someone – perhaps an attorney who specializes in copyright or related publishing issues – come to Wikisource and talk about copyrights, what topics would be most interesting?  [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 19:04, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

: If someone came to Wikisource to talk about anything, where would they be, and how many people would be there with them? [[User:JeepdaySock|JeepdaySock]] <small>(AKA, [[User talk:Jeepday|Jeepday]])</small> 15:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
::Probably either in an online video conference, like Google Hangouts, or maybe in IRC.  I don't know how many people would be there.  It might depend on the subject.  [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 20:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)


Here's another option that might interest people who are serious about copyright.  It's a 12-week class, so it's a much bigger commitment than just a one-hour talk with someone.

Harvard Law School is offering a free "CopyrightX" class for people who want to learn about the US copyright system. It is designed for non-lawyers and accepts both teenagers and adults.  One of the WMF staffers took it last year, and he said that there were librarians, doctors, engineers, and students from around the world. 

The course is 100% free, and all the material used is CC-licensed, but I believe that enrollment is limited. There is more information at http://copyx.org/  The bit labeled "an online course divided into sections of 25 students, each section taught by a Harvard Teaching Fellow" is the relevant one for US copyright law.  It looks like there are also [http://copyx.org/affiliates/ some similar options] for other countries.

== Transclusion of TOC on Index page shows a large gap ==

For some unknown reason (by me) [[Index:The Story of Mexico.djvu|THIS INDEX]] has the TOC pages showing on the right of the page number map, but there is a large gap between top title and the beginning of the list. The border lines are turned on only temporarily. My concern is that this will also appear in the main namespace when transcluded.— [[User talk:Ineuw|Ineuw talk]] 19:59, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

::(Too fast) Needed a few "bites at the cherry" but how about now? Issues/methods of attack were:<ol><li>Move all leading items on top of Contents page ''into'' table structure;</li><li>Remove (some) "cosmetic" newlines within "Remarks" field of Index: page. Believe it or not the wiki-parser was turning each and every one of these into &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; series and then effectively floating them to the top of the display in the &lt;div&gt; with class name "mw-kollapsible-kontent".
