By: NWD Date: 2011 TOP SECRET – Sensitive particularly Mr. Dulles, tried to put teeth into SEATO through unilateral declarations of U.S. readiness to act. Dulles defined the obligations under Article IV as "a clear and definite agreement on the part of the signatories, including the United States, to come to the aid of any member of the Pact who under the terms of this treaty is subjected to aggression." However, Dulles failed to instill the same dedication to instant intervention in the other SEATO members.

The obligation assumed at Manila emphasized the importance attached to Southeast Asia by the U.S. Government. U.S. refusal to pledge unqualified support to Indochina emphasized the need for indigenous strength and stability in the area to counter communist power, to make infiltration and aggression less appetizing to the enemy. Of the three Indochina states, most important yet least stable and least strong was South Vietnam. Thus, the second step in policy development was to decide what the U.S. could do to change the situation, a decision which turned on what France could or would do in South Vietnam.

 * 2.

That France and the United States would eventually part company over Vietnam might have been predicted in August 1954, when U.S. policy toward Vietnam was drawn. Formulae for economic, military and especially political courses of action were different from — often antithetical to — French objectives and interests.

The U.S. intelligence community felt if France "acted swiftly to insure Vietnam full independence and to encourage strong nationalist leadership ... anti-French nationalist activity might be lessened (and) with French military and economic assistance — backed by U.S. aid — the Vietnamese could proceed to develop gradually an effective security force, local government organization and a long range program for economic and social reform." But there were three other routes or combinations of routes open to France in post-Geneva Vietnam. France could work to maintain French Union ties, indirect French political control and economic domination rather than grant full independence to Vietnam. Or, France could try to reach an agreement with the Viet Minh, expedite elections and achieve a unified country in which French cultural, economic and political interests could be maintained. A fourth possibility, thought likely only if the situation deteriorated to the point of hopelessness, was a French decision to withdraw all military, economic and administrative support from Indochina.

Of the four courses of action open to France, three were rejected by the Eisenhower Administration. Continuation of French Union ties plus indirect French controls would be impossible under Diem, Rh

Those who intend to become residents will read with interest the late laws relating to foreigners.

There is a law of naturalization lately published that is important to Americans. Subjoined is a copy of the official notice:

Still another law requires that all foreigners should be matriculated at the Department for Foreign Affairs, that their nationality may be declared and recognized. Foreigners who wish to have a hearing before the courts of the country should not fail to comply with this law, as business interests are not secure without it.

The climate is all that is claimed for it—even more: and it is recommended as a safe retreat for those afflicted with pulmonary or throat troubles. But, even here, a disadvantage arises. If they improve and all goes well, it is not safe to return to their homes and this is the thing above all others they most wish to do. If they remain, the lungs will harden and heal over, causing little or no pain or inconvenience, and life be prolonged to a good old age. But the artificial or real strength imparted by the delightful climate lures them into a feeling of security. But a return home makes the decline more rapid than the improvement has been. However, if in the earlier stages of the disease, they will make up their minds to live in Mexico, taking all things as they find them, I believe many permanent cures will be

I have seen some fine specimens of robust strength and health which were only gained by exercising a firm will and determination—a trying and almost impossible achievement to the invalid. While the strong and healthy American will readily accustom himself to the food, the sick naturally longs for home cooking. Occasionally a friendly countryman will have a few comforts, and such fare as is suited to the palate of the invalid, which he is generally pleased to share.

Mexican physicians, as a rule, are highly educated and accomplished men; having not only excellent advantages in the Medical School at the capital, but a large proportion being graduates of celebrated European colleges.

Consumption is not by any means confined to the stranger. It undoubtedly originates among the natives, and usually with fatal results. Another disease in this fine climate, and as much to be dreaded, is catarrh; and a simple cold soon takes this form. No class is exempt from it, and perhaps from this the custom arose of wearing the blanket, shawl, or handkerchief over the nose and mouth. That their fine air, so celebrated and lauded by visitors, should be blamed for every malady that flesh is heir to, seems a contradiction. But in this as in everything else

570 there is a special fitness, for strangers soon find themselves following the same custom. Ask at any time a man or woman of the poorer class why they draw the blanket over the mouth, and you will at once be answered with, "Por el aire" ("On account of the air").

Police regulations are admirable. The men are uniformed, and stationed in the middle of the streets where they cross at right angles; and regardless of wind or weather, each one remains at his post eight hours at a time, blowing his shrill whistle every quarter of an hour, in answer to the call of his co-guardian of the peace. The quiet and order that prevail in all towns and cities attest their efficiency.

The body known as the Rurales constitute in Mexico to-day the most competent preservers of the public peace existing within her borders. They were once lawless and abandoned men, who led lives of wild adventure, many of them being bandits, fearing nothing.

When General Porfirio Diaz became President, he felt the necessity of providing the rural districts with an efficient mounted police force. The utmost forethought could not have predicted such grand results. Being as they are familiar with every mountain pass and lonely defile, fearless riders, and possessed of extraordinary strength and undaunted

Rh courage, they have proved their prowess and valor from first to last. It gives one a feeling of security and satisfaction to see a company of these sturdy horsemen entering a city or town, after a toilsome journey in the wild mountain fastnesses. They wear a gay and picturesque uniform of buckskin, the pantaloons decorated on the outside seams with silver buttons, coat and vest of the same material,

a gorgeous red sash, and a red cravat or silk handkerchief around the neck, and sombrero with silver cord and tassels. Behind the gayly-equipped saddle a red blanket is folded and snugly secured, adding an extra charm of color to the invincibles. They come and go as if in haste, the rattling of their accouterments always attracting the attention of strangers.

Land and sea can alike testify to their courage. On January 18th, 1886, the American whaler Ranger ran ashore at Ensenada on the Lower California coast. The crew were swept into the sea, and would

The President of the United States, through Mr. Bayard, and in appreciation of their valor, forwarded to the Rurales memorials, consisting of a gold watch and chain for the chief, with this inscription:

Silver medals were given to the others of the rescuing party.

Upon the subject of American interests in Mexico, I am glad to introduce the opinion of Judge J. F. Crosby, of Texas, who was at the Mexican capital during my stay there, and in an interview with a representative of the Two Republics, thus freely expressed his views with regard to the prospects and safety of American enterprise in Mexico:

"I do not only believe but know from actual observation that American enterprise has a most promising future in Mexico. The people of Mexico are not nearly as prejudiced against Americans as superficial observers would have the people of the United States believe. That they are down on men who claim to be Americans, but are devoid of gentlemanly instincts, and show no respect for the religion and customs of a people whose hospitality they ask; who slander their wives and daughters, and charge the Mexicans with being dishonest and treacherous, is not to their discredit. But they are anxious for the good will of the American people, and if the Americans who have visited this country had been half as anxious to win the respect of the Mexicans, both countries would be better informed about each other than they are now. The upper ranks of the Mexicans are the

Page:Face to Face With the Mexicans.djvu/579

Rh equals of anybody in culture, patriotism, and human virtues, while the lower classes, although seemingly degraded, are as law-abiding, intelligent and gentle as any people could be under similar circumstances. I know of what I speak when I say that these people, high and low, have fought harder and suffered more for the establishment and maintenance of republican institutions than the much exalted founders of our own republic ever dreamt of doing. Being forced, ever since they first asserted their independence, to defend it against invaders and conspirators, these people have not had the opportunity to pay that attention to the interior development of republican institutions which in the United States has taken a natural course, excepting the forcible removal of the curse of slavery, which, by a little good judgment by both sides, might have been brought about in a quiet and peaceable manner. Indeed, the Mexican people, as such, are entitled to the highest respect on our part. But the trouble has been, and is to-day, that people come here from the United States expecting to make fortunes in a day, and believing that everybody has to receive them as superior beings, and very often act in a highly offensive manner. There are such people now here, right here in Mexico, who misrepresent the American character, and in their talks to visitors misrepresent Mexico in a scandalous manner. I am glad to know that The Two Republics accepts it as a duty to neutralize the harm such people are doing."

On being asked if he considered it safe for Americans to make investments in Mexico, he said:

"I do indeed, and have proven it by my own acts. The Mexican Government is ever ready to encourage American enterprise, and has quite often got the worst of its bargains. It has been led to promise support to enterprises beyond its power of fulfillment. And this makes me think of the charge that Mexican officials are corrupt and are bleeding American investors. It is quite possible that concessions have been bought, and that some Mexican officials have betrayed their trusts; but that is as much the fault of the investors, familiar with the crooked ways of legislatures, both State and national, in

By: NWD Date: 2011 TOP SECRET – Sensitive whose anti-French feeling ran deep, who had not in the past and would not now accept anything less than complete freedom from France. And Diem had American backing. Dulles believed "the kind of thing he stands for" is the "necessary ingredient of success" and called the Diem government the "nucleus for future efforts." Accommodation with the Viet Minh was anathema to both Diem and the U.S. Although American policy spoke of taking steps to prevent the complete absorption of the DRV into the Soviet bloc, those steps amounted to nothing more than maintenance of a U.S. consulate in Hanoi. Dulles in particular could not see Ho Chi Minh as Asia's Tito and refused to deal with him, thereby crushing Mendes-France's hope that Vietnam could become an experiment in peaceful coexistence. The U.S. was equally determined to prevent the quick withdrawal of the French Expeditionary Corps from Vietnam. It was believed:

"in the last analysis, Vietnamese security will be determined by the degree of French protection and assistance in the development of a national army,"

plus Vietnamese energies and the will of other powers to guarantee Vietnamese security.

Thus, United States policy required France to grant full Vietnamese independence quickly and to support a strong indigenous political regime, to maintain French military presence but reduce military, economic and political controls. Basic guidance determined at National Security Council meetings on August 8 and 12 became NSC 5429/2, issued on August 20.

 * 3.

The American formula for government in free Vietnam rested on three legs. Independence was first and more important. France must treat South Vietnam as an independent sovereign nation and the U.S. would deal with it on that basis. Full independence was the only way to win nationalist support away from the Viet Minh, and nationalist support was thought to be essential to successful government in South Vietnam. Secondly, the U.S. would urge Ngo Dinh Diem to establish a government of national union representative of dominant elements on the political scene. After bringing sane stability to the nation, a Constituent Assembly would be called and a constitution drafted to herald the legal dethroning of Enperor Bao Dai and inauguration of democracy. Finally, the formula demanded firm French and U.S. support for Diem. Despite his rigidity, his penchant for a one-man show and his inability to communicate or deal with people, Diem was a nationalist untainted by past association with either Viet Minh or French. This quality, plus full independence, plus Franco–American Rh

 knew dimly and vaguely that Catholic Emancipation meant the deliverance of our race from the subjection to Orange ascendancy in which we habitually lived.

At what time does a boy discover that he has in his bosom a monitor who punishes him when he misbehaves, and comforts him if he suffers unjustly? The Sacrament of Confirmation is administered to Catholic children at an early age, generally before they enter on their teens, and I received it in the ordinary course. The bishop and a senior priest sat on the altar steps, and questioned each boy in turn on the principles of Christian doctrine. When I had gone through the examination the bishop asked the assistant priest, "Do you think we may pass this lad?" The priest thought perhaps they might, and I retired deeply humiliated. The ceremony was followed by a distribution of prizes supposed to be granted in the order of merit. The schoolmistress of the chapel school who had prepared the boys for the sacrament arranged the prize list, and to my consternation I heard the first prize assigned to Charles Duffy, who, in fact, had barely escaped rejection. For many a day afterwards I was disturbed and unhappy with the sense of being an impostor who had received a distinction in the face of the whole congregation which he did not deserve. I have never since doubted that conscience is a tribunal before which the boy is as peremptorily summoned as the man.

An ardent youngster must have some outlet for his sympathies, and before patriotism awoke I was passionately religious. I can recall a time when I was despatched to bed at nightfall and took a coarse board with me to kneel upon under the blanket lest my prayers should be too luxurious; and for years after I read controversial books with avidity, and was ready on the shortest notice to defend the most abstruse mysteries of religion. But the first passion was superseded after a time by one which has lasted all my life—the determination to love, and, if possible, serve Ireland.

Some account of my early schools will help the reader to understand the social condition of Ulster at that time. The Ulster Catholics had been deprived by the Puritan Parliament in Dublin of their lands, their churches, and their schools at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and they were long

 forbidden by statute to obtain education at home or abroad, or to possess property in land. At the time I speak of their schools were still very often what were then known as "poor schools." The schoolroom was commonly a barn or a garret, the furniture rude and scanty, the walls and windows bare, and some of the pupils probably shoeless and unwashed. But these establishments were regarded as evidence of remarkable progress by those who remembered the "hedge schools" of a previous generation, which had not even the shelter of a roof. My first schoolmaster was a one-handed man, named Neil Quin, who had probably become a teacher because this deficiency unfitted him for any other employment. He performed duties which were merely manual with marvellous dexterity—mending a pen, for example, as speedily and skilfully as a man with two hands. A long loop of twine passed through two holes in a table held the quill, flat, and was kept fast by his foot in the other end of the loop, while he trimmed it with his right hand, which happily remained. Of the elements of education Mr. Quin did not teach us much, I fear, but he told us stories, generally little apologues or homilies, intended to impart a homely moral. His rudimentary science was taught with a scanty equipment of instruments, but he contrived to make it impressive. One day he let his hat fall from his head to the floor, and exclaimed, "Now, boys, which of you will tell me why that hat fell down to the ground instead of falling up to the ceiling?"

My escape from this primitive institution was one of the most fortunate incidents of my life. My eldest sister, a girl of vigorous will, met me one day coming home from school in the midst of a clamorous swarm of urchins, some of them barefooted and ragged, and all riotous and undisciplined, and she interposed with a vigour worthy of our grandmother Judith. She peremptorily declared that I should never return to that society. But where was I to go? There was not a Catholic school in the county a whit better. There was, however, a classical academy in the town taught by a Presbyterian minister, the Reverend John Bleckley, where the boarders were sons of the small gentry and professional men of two or three neighbouring counties, and the day boys sons of the principal townspeople. There were about fifty pupils, all

 Protestants or Presbyterians, a Catholic boy never having been seen within the walls. It needed a considerable stock of moral courage to contemplate sending me to such an establishment, where I might be ill-received, or, if not ill-received, where I might be taught to despise the boys of my own race and creed whom I had quitted. The consent of my guardian, a parish priest living a dozen miles away, had to be obtained, and he had liberality and good sense enough to approve of the project. Mr. Bleckley received me graciously, but during the first day one of the boys told me (what I soon learned had been muttered among many others) that it was unpardonable presumption for a Papist to come among them. But the bigotry of boys is mostly inherited from their elders, and has little root. This lad, Mat Trumble, son of a lieutenant in the British Army, but also grandson of a chaplain of the Volunteers, afterwards a notable United Irishman, soon became my close friend. He was a youth of good intellect, resolute will, and considerable reading, and with such aid I did not do badly in the strange society on which I had intruded. During the first year a boys' parliament, a boys' regiment, and a boys' newspaper were established, which I did something to initiate, and my connection with them was vehemently resisted in the name of Protestant ascendancy. But after a fierce debate the majority voted my emancipation, three years before the legislators of larger growth at St. Stephen's made a similar concession to my seniors. I used to boast that I was the first Catholic emancipated in Ireland, but though tolerated I was never allowed altogether to forget that I belonged to the race who were beaten at the Boyne. A cynical lad, who afterwards became a noted local preacher, sometimes occupied the recreation hour with marvellous stories of Popish atrocities designed for my edification.

One of them is worth quoting as an illustration of the cruel and wicked inventions by which the rancour of race hatred was promoted:

A farmer's son—so the story ran—went to confession, and as his offences were serious the priest made a tally with chalk on the sleeve of his coat, that the penance might be

 proportionate to the sins. "I was too intimate with a neighbour's daughter, your Reverence." "Very bad," says the priest, making a stroke on his arm with the chalk. "There was a baby, your Reverence, and, to keep it dark, I made her throw it in the river." "Oh, you unfortunate miscreant," cried the priest, making two long strokes on his arm; "I'm afraid you'll never see purgatory. Anything else?" "Yes, your Reverence, God forgive me, there's something worse. The girl took to fretting; I was afraid she'd tell her people, and I shoved her into a bog-hole." "Away with you," cried the priest, starting to his feet in a rage. "I can't absolve a double murderer who has hid his crime from punishment." "But, your Reverence, wait a minute. I forgot to tell you she was a black Prisbiteran." "Pooh! pooh!" says the priest, brushing the score off his arm, "why did you make me dirty my coat?"

Mat Trumble, who was present, remarked that if the story was true, and doubtless it wasn't, the priest might have found a precedent in Anglo- Irish history, when the violation of a married woman, with which two Norman soldiers were charged in a court of Pale ended in a judgment that no offence was proved, as the victim was a mere Irishwoman!

The Presbyterian planters from whom my schoolfellows were descended preserved to an amazing degree the characteristics of their Scottish ancestors. They were thrifty, industrious, and parsimonious, and sometimes spoke a language worthy of Dumfriesshire. Their familiar sayings were of the same origin. "Keep the halter shank in your ain hand," was a Pawkie warning against rash confidence; or, "Don't let the want come at the web's end," an exhortation to foresight. The name employed to designate a courtesan was "an idle girl," a phrase which implies a population devoted to labour and duty. The few books which circulated among them were steeped in the bitterness of hereditary feuds. I remember being horror-struck by a copy of "Fox's Book of Martyrs," with illustrations fit to poison the spirit of a community for a century. Men reared for the liberal professions might in time outlive these prejudices, but with the poor and ignorant time only deepens them. But the nationalities sometimes mingled marvellously. I can recall more than

 one descendant of Puritan settlers smitten with sympathy for the Celtic tongue and Celtic traditions, and on the other hand O'Neills and MacMahons speaking a dialect that might pass muster in Midlothian, and practising economies which would charm Sir Andrew Wylie.

A thoughtful boy needs a supply of books almost as imperatively as his daily bread. There were few books in my mother's house, but they included some which were treasures to an inquisitive lad. "Gil Bias," in pocket volume, with illustrations which are as familiar to my memory as the cartoons of Raphael; "Robinson Crusoe,". "Ward's Cantos" (a burlesque history of the Protestant Reformation), and above all a volume of a little periodical full of Irish ideas, entitled "Captain Rock in London, or the Chieftain's Weekly Gazette." I laugh still at a pleasant dialogue on the affairs of Ireland between the editor and an English gentleman whom he accidentally met of a morning in the Green Park. At the conclusion of their talk the stranger presented his gold snuff-box to his interlocutor, saying, "Take this, my friend, as a little memorial of the most useful and instructive conversation I have ever had on Irish affairs; you will not value it the less when I tell you that I am the Prince Regent." "Will your Royal Highness," said the Irishman, "permit me, in tendering my grateful thanks, to name myself, for I fear your Royal Highness has heard of me before?" "By all means," said the Prince, a good deal amused at the assurance of the intrepid Irishman, "tell me who you are." "May it please your Royal Highness, I am Captain Rock!" The Captain's name in those days was equivalent to a dynamiter or an Irish Invincible in our own.

I laid all our neighbours under contribution, and I can remember a friendly shopkeeper hoisting me up in his arms while I ransacked the upper shelves of his shop where the books of a dead customer were stowed away. I fished out "Peregrine Pickle," "Roderick Random," "Billy Bluff," "Irish Rogues and Rapparees," and some odd volumes of the Spectator. Later a new world opened up to me in the library of my guardian. The spiritual shepherds naturally

Historical Method in Ethics, Lon., 1882, 8vo. 2. The Ricardian Theory of Rent, Lon., 1884, cr. 8vo. 3. Comparative Literature, Lon., 1886, p. 8vo.

" We find very little interest in Mr. Posnett's 'compara- tive Literature.' The arrangement seems by no means well ordered. Heaps of information (not always correct) are 'shot' (like rubbish) all over the place. . . . How re- mote all this is from the study of literature!" Sat. Rev., lxi. 481.

If those mistakes are present in the published American edition, then they must be left in the text. Wikisource presents text that is faithful to the attributed source, without modification. In this instance, the text is the American translation, so regardless of what the British or original Russian have, we must stick to the American version.

If you need to add an annotation, it is possible to do so using the SIC template, which allows the original text to be preserved, while also having a pop-up note explaining what the text ought to say based on the kinds of comparison you are doing. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much for adding this text to Wikisource! We don't have enough Russian literature here. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:59, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouraging message! I'm hoping to add several more works of Russian literature. The next one I'm thinking of starting is The Sweet-Scented Name by Fyodor Sologub. But actually the main reason I've started adding books now, is I want to work on an 11-volume French translation of a history of Russia by Nikolay Karamzin, and I thought I should first learn the ropes here in an English-language environment before trying anything really complicated over in French Wikisource.

Mudbringer,

Go to Index:Slavonic Fairy Tales.djvu and validate the 2 TOC pages. I have been validating the other pages you proofread and I proofread those 2 TOC pages. Kind regards, —Maury (talk) 22:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

You might also want to look at numbered div/link which generates the appropriate cross referencing in the contents :), I vaugely recalled there was a reason I wrote it ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. I have been looking at the template documentation, but I've found it easier just to learn by copying what you've been doing. Is there a reason why the summaries at the beginning of the chapters aren't being done? Mudbringer (talk) 12:31, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

 * The summaries/TOC weren't being done because I was focusing on getting the bulk of the text in place first, if you want to proofread away, as you seem to be more than capable :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

 * I think I'm finished with ch 13. Here's a test transclusion. That was kind of fun, thanks. I'll try to do some more validation later. Mudbringer (talk) 06:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks - A note, on some of the higher number chapters I'd been using a margin setup of 2|-4 vs the 2|-3 elsewhere to give a slightly better look, but it's a  personal choice.  If you want to have a look at the summaries feel-free :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * The text is now complete, if you wanted to do the index, summaries and validate what you can :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi, thank you for noticing! It's amazing how easy it is to overlook these things. For several days I've been sifting through all the occurrences of "stem" and finding the ones that need to be corrected to "stern". In the process I've been tinkering with some ideas for systematically correcting OCR errors, which might eventually make a worthwhile help page, or some kind of activity that could replace the moribund "Maintenance of the Month", and hopefully lure an occasional neophyte into participating on the site.

Miscellaneous Papers on Mechanical Subjects
Thanks for doing so much validating on Index:Miscellaneous Papers on Mechanical Subjects.djvu! That's great. :) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 23:31, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message. It's a fascinating book... should go through some more of it. I love reading books that give you a different picture on what life was like one or two hundred years ago. Just remembered, there was a sense of the word "truth" (conformity to rule) in there that struck me, which I used for an example on wiktionary. Thanks! Mudbringer (talk) 12:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the A Study of Mexico corrections
I have no especial interest in this work apart from casually noticing it had a lot of small typos and formatting errors present even though nominally fully validated (c. 2010) which I made a rapid sweep through and tried to correct just recently. As you have seen I obviously missed more than a few so thanks again for following up. One day it might be fully presentable but in any case I think it is already a lot better than it was.

Organizing fairy tales
I'd be grateful for comment here from anyone interested! If anyone thinks it would be appropriate to move the discussion to some other location, such as a Help talk page, please say so.

I've been working on Grimm's Goblins, and there've been all sorts of interesting discoveries on the way, but I'll try to keep to the main points, with Grimm's Household Tales as the primary focus. My understanding about the first thing I should be doing, when there are multiple translations of a tale is to make a translations page, but I've been running in to several versions pages, such as The Water of Life. I went ahead and changed Mother Holle into a translations page, but I'm waiting a bit before going further. Should I be ruthless about continuing this process, or am I misunderstanding something or being too pedantic? If there's only one translation, but represented by texts in different editions, my inclination would still be to start out with a translations rather than a versions page, so any additional translations could be added once they turn up.

Then there's the case where the title of a tale is ambiguous. I've made some progress organizing Cinderella, which is, as far as I can tell, used as the title of three different tales on Wikisource, so I disambiguated those, and listed all the translations/versions I could find for each. Maybe I've put too many different things on one page, but this level of organization seems appropriate to me.

Finally there's the case of related tales from different countries/regions/eras, which has the potential for serious confusion since they're commonly called "versions" of a tale (type), even though they could just as well be thought of as distinct works. The wording on Help:Disambiguation explaining that versions pages are for "different versions of essentially the same work, regardless of title or author" seem to invite confusion in this regard. It would seem to apply well to closely related "versions" such as Jack the Giant-Killer and The history of Jack the giant-killer, but I'm pretty sure the three main items on the Cinderella page are too distinct to be thought of as versions to list on a versions page. Since there are a lot of Cinderella-type tales, two of which are extremely well-known, I decided to make Portal:Cinderella, which I'm planning to expand to include closely related types in the "Persecuted Heroine" category. There are several other types I'd like to produce separate portals for. But there are many more interesting types than I could realistically make portals for, so in that case what I'd like to do is choose one tale as the representative, then put a note on all other tales of the same type pointing to just the representative, rather than listing all the related tales on the pages for each of the related tales, which seems to be the irritating practice on Wikipedia.

But then another perhaps silly thing I worry about, is that if I stick a pointer to the Cinderalla portal in the header of a tale, I'm depriving the reader of the joy of reading the tale with no preconception and thinking, "Wow, that's just like Cinderella!" (which is the sort of thing that got me hooked on fairy tales, actually).

Anyway, whoever would like to offer criticism or suggestions, I'm all ears! Mudbringer (talk) 18:39, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

 * It's an interesting and complex problem for sure. I haven't really looked at fairy tales yet, but I've done some folklore stuff and I'll explain how I do it:
 * I'd only use translations for lists of English translations of a single non-English text, like The Water of Life or Mother Holle. Sometimes the single non-English text has several versions; perhaps they are different editions of the same work. I have created two translations pages where the original versions were significantly different; these two pages are Esther (Bible) and Pseudo-Clementine literature. Both of these works are essentially translations-of-translations so they differ wildly in content, but it's well-established that they are single works.
 * I tend to use versions much more liberally, and it's possible that I use it where other editors would not. For example, I would have no hesitation to make Cinderella a versions page. It's the same story (a folk tale), but the versions by Perrault, Grimm, and Imbriani are independent. So in this case we are not listing works called Cinderella (disambig), and we are not listing English translations of a single telling of Cinderella (translations), but we are listing a number of versions of the same story.
 * I see this sort of thing very often in popular folk and religious songs. You have an old melody with a very recognizable metre and refrain, but many independent sets of lyrics; even the English lyrics are rarely translations from the original language, but are yet more independent new sets of lyrics. But most people I think would still think of them as being the same song, and you frequently see versions that are combinations of some verses of one version and some verses of another. Examples: Ar Hyd y Nos (All Through the Night); Men of Harlech; Immaculate Mary. A more modern example is O Canada: there is the original French version, and an English translation of it; there is the popular original English version, with several variations; and there are a few other original English versions. All of them would probably be considered versions of the same song, even though they are all independent sets of lyrics with the same tune and theme.
 * For an example closer to the work you are doing, have a look at some of Child's Ballads. That collection contains sometimes dozens of versions of the same folk song, which are wildly different from each other. Yet Child considers them versions of the same song, and so do I. See The Dowie Dens of Yarrow, The Water is Wide, and especially The Elfin Knight.
 * Finally, if the works are really not the same work at all, but instead just have similar themes, throw up a portal for them. I like what you've done with Portal:Cinderella for example. A Modern Cinderella is a good example of a "version" of Cinderella that belongs on a portal rather than on a versions page.
 * I hope that was helpful and I'd be happy to discuss further if you like. :) —Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:00, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Spelling
Hey - thanks for doing all the spelling fixes. It's an important and often overlooked task. - I also want to mention that I've noticed some other editors fixing errors that are present in the original scan, and I don't think you're doing that but I want to make sure you're conscious of the need to preserve typos in the original scans. Thanks again! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm being careful not to correct the actual typos. Sometimes with poor quality djvu images I'll correct b <> h or n <> u when it's ambiguous which is actually printed, so I may have over-corrected occasionally, although even there I try to consult a better quality image when possible to check what I'm doing. Mudbringer (talk) 14:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks from me too. Londonjackbooks (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

poem tag
I used to be fond of using for formatting poetical texts, but its behavior is irritating, erratic, and subject to future change. I use now, even though it is a little more work and looks messier when editing. I can be assured of exactly what it will do and that it will continue to behave in the same way in future. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:57, 28 June 2017 (UTC) at the end of lines rather than the poem tag does seem to prevent insertion of unwanted blank lines into copy-pasted text. Mudbringer (talk) 04:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll give that method a try as well. Mudbringer (talk) 02:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * For the record, using

Do you know how to add floating line numbers? If you do not, I can provide you with two methods of doing them. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:06, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I just added them using line to the first page, tooltipped with the corresponding line numbers of the latin text. With a tooltip, line seems to work better than pline. Is there some other method you had in mind? Mudbringer (talk) 02:37, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No, that was one of the methods I would have suggested. The only additional points I'll pass along are: (1) The template pline puts the line number in color, if that is desired. (2) If you're going to add in the Latin line numbers, which aren't present in the copy you're working with, you'll need to be sure to explain what you've done in the header notes at the top of each affected page in the Main namespace. This borders on "annotating", which is frowned upon somewhat in the Wikisource community. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:41, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Spellings and typo checking....
You knew about this list?

User:ShakespeareFan00/Typo words

There may be some false positives possible though :( ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:21, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I've seen it. I think that covers a lot of ground! Perhaps you might want to include  and some other common words that end in "e" but for which there are less common corresponding words that end in "o". Then there's   ... Do you use those to check the text before saving a page? I do most of my editing in Vim, usually from a copy of the text for the whole volume downloaded from archive.org, or copied from googlebooks pdf when that has better accuracy, or sometimes diff-ing the two, and try to weed out as much of those scanos as I can at the beginning, but I'm not consistent about using a whole list of regexes. ... Then what I've also been trying to do is hunt down errors still existing on verified or proofread pages, which begins by searching e.g.   in the wikisource search box, copying the results into Vim, weeding out the hits that actually say "arid" and then correcting the remaining pages that should be "and". Do you know if there's a way to limit a search to only verified pages? That would make life easier! Mudbringer (talk) 20:00, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't know, about limiting searches by proofread/verified status . This seems to be a current limit in the search facilities.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:06, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, How to Get Strong was one of the most frustrating files I've dealt with here. First the djvu failed, so I changed to the pdf. But the OCR on the pdf was awful, so I had to use the OCR button on most pages. Then in the middle of it all, my laptop had to be re-built so some of my shortcuts disappeared. You are finding some things that I'm kicking myself over, and others are my classic mistakes. I really do appreciate your attention to the details. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:07, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I know the feeling - I've recently switched from XP to X, and am still floundering. The recent material on archive.org is really hard to work with. One thing I'm doing a lot recently is copying the ocr from google books pdf files, which is excellent quality these days, except that all the hyphens at line-end are missing. I'm afraid I haven't done anything thorough on this file yet, just spellchecking in Vim, which catches a bit more than the Firefox spellchecker. Is there any portion you'd like me to look at in more detail? Mudbringer (talk) 07:30, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Quotation marks
Hi,

Guess I should have checked the style guide beforehand… Thanks, I'll go and clean up the mess I've made :) Ælfgar (talk) 18:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * If you feel like doing it, I won't stop you! I only started proofreading this because I was surprised that there was no nice, clean version of the Chronicle in Modern English here, but now that I've read a large chunk of it, I can tell that John Allen Giles fully deserves his posthumous reputation as a sloppy scholar. His prose is awfully clunky and his formatting annoyingly inconsistent. When I'm done with this book, I'll start working on Anna Gurney's translation (I've just put the .djvu on Commons). Even though it's older (1819—the very first one to be printed, actually!), it's much more pleasant to read. Ælfgar (talk) 18:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

OCR checks, and related
Please. Let me know if you find missed scan errors in stuff if proofread, (and especially stuff I may have validated) so the relevant work can be rechecked in full. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:04, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * hi, will do. Of your stuff, I think Mrs Beeton is probably what needs the most work. That was a titanic job! You can see the edits for a day I visited several pages here, but I may not have done any of those pages completely.　Mudbringer (talk) 13:50, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I took a close look at a few pages at lambs and did some investigating on archive.org. I think the thorniest problem with Mrs Beeton is that the ocr text for the djvu file on WS drops the first word or two of a line occasionally. But there's another copy published only one year before ours, that seems to have much better quality ocr. I think we can leverage that to greatly improve the text. Mudbringer (talk) 16:29, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Are you sure it's a comparative edition? There's at least 3 different versions on archive.org. I've started reviewing the whole of the edition we have from page 1.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The pages I was looking at seem to be exactly the same. I have the two text files in my editor, and when I switch from one file to the other, the line with the missing word at the beginning is pretty easy to spot. Anyway, I think the results will be better if we look at a few pages in detail, analyze the problems, and work out global strategies for dealing with them. For example, I noticed that "arc" for "are" is a problem, and you can look for all the pages with that problem like this. Mudbringer (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Can you generate a list of all your edit summaries relating to this work? Or add the identified issues to the typo words list? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I've given the first 100 pages. Can you check and comment? I also in giving these another look found some deprecated HTML, and old table approaches.  Your feedback would be appreciated on this and this issue of frac for things like ¼ ½  etc.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:20, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I know very very little about tables. I'm sure I'll learn a lot when I get a chance to review what you've done, but it's not so likely that I'll be able to make any helpful comments. I'll try to make a bit more progress with Mrs Beeton, and report on the remaining issues and how to deal with them later this week. Mudbringer (talk) 12:48, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Now I've looked at pages from both the mutton/lamb section and from near the beginning. It does seem the worst problem is that the OCR has dropped words/letters in an unpredictable fashion, which means that conventional proofreading would require a very slow, very painstaking attention to detail. You can see the problem on this page. But fortunately most of that seems to be easy to find by comparing the OCR of the 1906 edition. I have a macro in Vim, the text editor, where I have two lines of text to be compared, that scans up to the first point where the lines differ. I've used this to check existing WS text against Gutenberg text, for example. So, since I've got the tools handy, I guess I'll volunteer to make the fixes, but it will take at least a couple months. As for formatting, there are places where I'd do things differently, but if I make any serious changes I'll do that in a different edit to make them easier to reverse. Please let me know anything you think inappropriate. It's odd, the template fractions look exactly the same as the UTF-8 fraction characters in the final display text. Don't know which is better, but I suppose the templates are easier to work with. Mudbringer (talk) 02:10, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I've just been searching for instances of "alter" that needed to be changed to "after", and made corrections on about 150 pages. I didn't look at the proofreaders for most of them, but if you're interested, you can check my history and see if anything rings a bell. I did notice you on these two, though: Index:Gospel of Buddha.djvu and Index:Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent Buckley.djvu. The second of these turns up occasionally in the course of my error hunts. Another frequently erroneous word in which "l" needs to be changed to "f" is "lather". Haven't tackled that one yet. No progress with Mrs Beeton today, but I'll keep at it :) Mudbringer (talk) 17:23, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

 * You might want to check some of my recent efforts (mostly minor edits attempting to fix things.), https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ShakespeareFan00. I've been looking over some of my first efforts, with a view to "neutralising" all scan/type errors. I am suprised at how many I'm finding on a second/ third or even fourth pass. There should of course be no scan errors remaining, So based on feedback and my own memory I'm re-reading plenty of material. If you are able to generate a report on what pages I edited it might help focus your tools. I have a query on Labs (https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/16654 ) Listing everything I've edited in page namespace.  Not all of these are problematic, and some are naturally repair/cleanup edits. Anything prior to August 1st is probably in scope for your reviewing tool.

Sadly I can't share my local watchlist with you as it has a number of works nominaly proofread which in the interests of "perfection", I am giving a re-read. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The above query is everything https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/20672 is much shorter list, albiet not entirely fool-proof with respect to jpg based entries, owing to the complexity of the concat function does things..

Index:The Cutter's Practical Guide 1898 Edition Part 1.djvu
The issue here isn't mis-spelling of which I am finding several. It's to do wiith precisely WHAT interaction of LST/ProofreadPage etc causes line-feeds. Can you decide on ONE approach for me and DOCUMENT who to implement it so I am not running around changing things back and forth and so its crystal clear where, mediawiki THINKS it's want's a nop to get a blank link between paragraphs and where it ACTUALLY decides to put them. Thanks. I am getting increasingly frustrated at the inability of wiki markup, to ever have consistency on this and other issues. 18:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what the problem is, or what you're trying to do with all those sections. Have you actually referred to them when transcluding? My impression was that section tags don't affect anything besides where to stop/start transcluding. I believe nop isn't necessary if the next page begins with c, which seems to be the case where you're having a problem. Sorry, but I know very little about how mediawiki actualy works. Mudbringer (talk) 19:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Billingshurst noted that that some of the fractions could be simplified to direct character equivalents, Do you have a script for doing this across a whole work? I don't feel happy doing it manually? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't think Billingshurst is expecting you to do that, and I don't think you should. If someone changes the fractions, let it go ... but I think your policy was fine to begin with. One thing I'm beginning to learn about Wikisource is it's really important not to over-react to things people say or do. Just try to concentrate on doing what you think is best, and give others the space to do likewise. Mudbringer (talk) 12:13, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

template:ellipsis shouldn't be used
I have noticed that you have extensively been using template:ellipsis. There is some very specific wording on the template that indicates that it should be used preferentially to a proper ellipsis ≈hellip; or a variation. Can I ask for you to utilise ellipsis as the guidance in style guide. Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:59, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * , I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been using template:ellipsis for sequences of dots that are not "ellipses of omission" for which &hellip; is prescribed. I began using it after it was suggested to me by It's a little distressing to be told one thing by one administrator and then the opposite by another. It's true that I've been using it "extensively" but I'm not aware of any actual harm caused by its use. I'm aware that the template documentation says it's use is not recommended and asks that it not be used, but it does provide the caveat "unless there is a stylistic reason to do so". For my work, I feel there is such a stylistic reason. Much of the material I work on will have anywhere from three dots to five dots, and often of four dots the first one is a period, and the three dots might be found after a line break, but if they're on the same line they'll be evenly spaced, which is the effect I get from using period+space+... (like this. ), but not the effect from using period+space+&hellip; (like this. …). I don't see any good alternative that would reflect the typography of the original. Particularly recently, I've tried to be very conservative about changing the style of projects begun by other users, but it's hard to remember exactly what all I've done.

pt.wikisource
Hello Mudbringer. I noticed your(?) edit in Mudanças recentes over at the Portuguese Wikisource. Do you speak Portuguese? I am contemplating eventually working on a book of poems over there to try and familiarize myself more with the language. I touched base at a User's talk page who I believe to speak English, but I have yet to get an answer. It is not a very active place. Perhaps that can eventually change. Anyway, just curious! Londonjackbooks (talk) 16:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi No, I don't speak Portuguese at all, but I read Spanish ok, so I can read Portuguese sortof, especially for fairy tales that tend to follow predictable story lines. I just got finished transcribing Tales of Old Lusitania, and matched up the English translations of the tales with the texts on pt.wikisource, and noticed that the translations while entertaining, really embellish and gloss over the originals. So I'm thinking of trying to translate some of the ones included in ToOL more literally, and possibly attempt a few that were left out. Which book of poems is it you are interested in? — Mudbringer (talk) 16:42, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Without much knowledge of the subject matter, I was thinking one of the Paquita volumes by Raimundo António de Bulhão Pato. But I am open to suggestions. I don't believe they have all the templates over there that I am used to using here, but I know they can be copied from here to there. I have done it once before for another sister project, but I will have to review the process again. But I don't want to be too bold over there until I get my feet wet. Londonjackbooks (talk) 17:16, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That looks ... very ambitious! It definitely would be a significant accomplishment. After running a few stanzas through google translate, it seems not too hard to follow. I've worked on several of the different 'sources, and the Portuguese site seems more like the English one than most, but if there's any way I could be of help in figuring things out, please let me know! — Mudbringer (talk) 17:46, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

As for your edit on this page, I could not understand the purpose behind changing absolute links to relative. Relative links are ok (and preferred) in main namespace, but they will only create permanent red links in page namespace. Hrishikes (talk) 06:01, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought that relative links in the mainspace transclusion were preferable, in case the work as a whole ever needed to be moved, and figured that red links in the page namespace didn't matter. Since it's not likely this work will need to be moved, though, I see your point, and I'll change them back. Thanks for the heads-up. Mudbringer (talk) 06:06, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Your advice here recalls a related issue I was wondering about. Italian Popular Tales has a lot of endnotes, and I've been transcluding the main text and the corresponding endnotes to the same subpages, to make it faster and easier to go between the two. So I've set the links as just the anchors, which means they're not red, but non-functional in the page namespace, e.g. here and here. Should these links as well be absolute links, in your opinion? Thanks. — Mudbringer (talk) 06:20, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that's ok, anchors are meant to be functional in mainspace. Red links look ugly, so permanence should be avoided. Hrishikes (talk) 06:28, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Once a Week vol. 2
Back in '17 you did some work on Once a Week, Vol. II. You did a most admirable job with formatting the image and poem on page 35. Would you be interested in contributing some more tricky formatting to that magazine volume? (I am doing all the basic work to get it properly organized and transcluded, but I haven't studied up on advanced formatting topics.) I marked as "problematic" all of the pages that either have images more complicated than a full-width horizontal one, or else tables of various sorts. Thanks for any contributions you may do, Levana Taylor (talk) 18:09, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

36 And then she sat down and laughed, till tears ran over her cheeks; while William kicked the stool he had been sitting on, and Morel growled:

“I canna see what there is so much to laugh at.”

One evening, directly after the parson’s visit, feeling unable to bear herself after another display from her husband, she took Annie and the baby and went out. Morel had kicked William, and the mother would never forgive him.

She went over the sheep-bridge and across a comer of the meadow to the cricket-ground. The meadows seemed one space of ripe, evening light, whispering with the distant mill-race. She sat on a seat under the alders in the cricket-ground, and fronted the evening. Before her, level and solid, spread the big green cricket-field, like the bed of a sea of light. Children played in the bluish shadow of the pavilion. Many rooks, high up, came cawing home across the softly-woven sky. They stooped in a long curve down into the golden glow, concentrating, cawing, wheeling, like black flakes on a slow vortex, over a tree-clump that made a dark boss among the pasture.

A few gentlemen were practising, and Mrs. Morel could hear the chock of the ball, and the voices of men suddenly roused; could see the white forms of men shifting silently over the green, upon which already the under shadows were smouldering. Away at the grange, one side of the hay-stacks was lit up, the other sides blue-grey. A waggon of sheaves rocked small across the melting yellow light.

The sun was going down. Every open evening, the hills of Derbyshire were blazed over with red sunset. Mrs. Morel watched the sun sink from the glistening sky, leaving a soft flower-blue overhead, while the western space went red, as if all the fire had swum down there, leaving the bell cast flawless blue. The mountain-ash berries across the field stood fierily out from the dark leaves, for a moment. A few shocks of corn in a corner of the fallow stood up as if alive; she imagined them bowing; perhaps her son would be a Joseph. In the east, a mirrored sunset floated pink opposite the west’s scarlet. The big haystacks on the hillside, that butted into the glare, went cold.

With Mrs. Morel it was one of those still moments when the small frets vanish, and the beauty of things stands out, and she had the peace and the strength to see herself. Now and again, a swallow cut close to her. Now and again, Annie came up with a handful of alder-currants. The baby was
