Elaea, a titular see of Asia Minor. Elaea, said to have been founded by Menestheus, was situated at a distance of twelve stadia from the mouth of the Caicus, one hundred and twenty stadia from Pergamus. It appears in history about 450 B.C., at the time of the Athenian naval league. It belonged to Alexander, then to the kings of Pergamus, and was the port of the latter. In 190 B.C. it was besieged by Antiochus of Syria, in 156 by Prusias, who ravaged all the country. It was partly destroyed in A.D. 90 by an earthquake. In its Roman period it struck coins. As a suffragan of Ephesus Elaea is mentioned by most "Notitiae episcopatuum" as late as the twelfth or the thirteenth century. We know only three of its bishops: Isaias in 451, Olbianus in 787, Theodulus in the twelfth century (Lequien, Or. Christ., I, 699). In the tenth century St. Paul the Younger, a monk of Mount Latros, was born there (Analecta Bollandiana, XI, 1-74, 136-182). The city must have been destroyed either by the Mongols or by the Turks. The ruins stand about three kilometers south of Kilisse Keui in the vilayet of Smyrna. The Greek Church also gives the title of Elaea to auxiliary bishops.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Elba

Elba, the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, is today a part of the Italian province of Leghorn and is separated from the mainland by the Channel of Piombino. The island is traversed throughout by treeless mountain ranges, the highest peak being Monte Capanne (about 3343 feet); its area is 86 square miles; according to the census of 1901 it had 25,556 inhabitants, mostly Catholics. Politically the island forms the district of Porto Ferrajo; the chief town is Porto Ferrajo on the north coast, a place with 3940 inhabitants; the commune contains 6701 inhabitants. Outside of Porto Ferrajo the principal towns of the island are Orte Rio, with 2478 inhabitants, and the strongly fortified Porto Longone, which has a good harbor and a population of 4761. Ecclesiastically Elba belongs to the Diocese of Massa Marittima and contains eleven parishes: Porto Ferrajo, Porto Longone, Marciana, Marciana Marina, Poggio, Capoliveri, Rio, Rio Marina, Marina Campo, Sant' Ilario in Campo, and San Pietro in Campo. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent de Paul have a house at Porto Longone, and the Sisters of St. Vincent, or Ladies of Christian Love, founded by the Venerable Cottolengo, have one at Porto Ferrajo; these are the only houses of religious on the island. The chief industry of Elba is the mining of the rich iron ore which was famous even in antiquity, but which, on account of lack of fuel, is generally smelted on the opposite coast of the mainland (the Maremma). The agricultural products are wheat, maize, wine, and semi-tropical fruits, and there are very profitable tunny and anchovy fisheries. The commerce is carried on through five ports, which were visited in 1900 by 2549 merchant vessels with a total of 492,418 tons burden. The smaller surrounding islands of Capraja, Pianosa, Palmaola, and Monte Cristo are connected in government with the island of Elba. Concerning the famous monastery of San Mamiliano, now in ruins, on the island of Monte Cristo, see Angelli, "L'Abbazia e l'Isola di Montecristo" (Florence, 1903), and for other information Kehr, "Regesta Pontificum Romanorum; Italia Pontificia" (Berlin, 1908), III, 276-78.

In the tenth century Elba came into the power of Pisa, from which it was wrested in 1290 by the city of Genoa. In 1399 Gian Galeazzo Visconti gave the island and the principality of Piombino to Gherardo Appiano in exchange for the lordship of Pisa. After that the island belonged as a Spanish fief to the Dukes of Sora and the Princes of Piombino. The Emperor Charles V gave a part of Elba to the Grand Duke Cosimo I of Tuscany, who built the citadel of Cosmopoli and thus laid the foundation of the later Porto Ferrajo, the chief town of the island; another district including Porto Longone came into the power of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In 1736 the whole of Elba with the principality of Piombino passed under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Naples; in 1801 the Peace of Luneville gave it to the Kingdom of Etruria, and in the following year, by the Peace of Amiens, it was transferred to France. After the first abdication of Napoleon Elba was made over to him as a sovereign principality. He landed on the island, May 4, 1814, but left it on February 26, 1815; during his short administration Napoleon did much for the benefit of the island, especially in the improvement of the roads. The Congress of Vienna, in 1815, restored the island to Tuscany, with which it was finally incorporated into the united Kingdom of Italy.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Elcesaites

Elcesaites (or ), a sect of Gnostic Ebionites, whose religion was a wild medley of heathen superstitions and Christian doctrines with Judaism. Hippolytus (Philosophumena, IX, 13-17) tells us that under Callistus (217-222) a cunning individual called Alcibiades, a native of Apamea in Syria, came to Rome, bringing a book which he said had been received from Parthia by a just man named Elchasai (Elchasai; but Epiphanius has Elxai and Elkessaioi; Methodius, Elkesaios, and Origen, Helkesaitai). The contents of the book had been revealed by an angel ninety-six miles high, sixteen miles broad, and twenty-four across the shoulders, whose footprints were fourteen miles long and four miles wide by two miles deep. This was the Son of God, and He was accompanied by His Sister, the Holy Ghost, of the same dimensions. Alcibiades announced that a new remission of sins had been proclaimed in the third year of Trajan (A.D. 100), and he described a baptism which should impart this forgiveness even to the grossest sinners. Harnack makes him say "was proclaimed" instead of "has been proclaimed" (as if euangelisthenai and not euengelisthai), and thus infers that a special year of remission is spoken of as past once for all—that Alcibiades had no reason for inventing this, so that Hilgenfeld was right in holding that Elchasai really lived under Trajan, as Epiphanius supposed. If we put aside this blunder of Harnack's (and also his earlier odd conjecture that the remission in the third year of Trajan meant that the first two books of the Pastor of Hermas were published in that year), we see that the remission offered is by the new baptism. Hippolytus represents this doctrine as an improvement invented by Alcibiades on the lax teaching of his enemy Callistus. He does not perhaps expect us to take this seriously—it is most likely ironical—but he seems to regard Alcibiades as the author of the book. Origen, writing somewhat later (c. 246-9), says the heresy was quite new; he seems to have met with Alcibiades, though he does not give his name. There is no reason why we should dissent from these contemporary witnesses, and we must place the first appearance of the book of Elchasai c. 220. A century and a half later, St. Epiphanius found it in use among the Sampswans, descendants of the earlier Elcesaites, and also among the Ossans, and many of the other Ebionite communities. Enhedim, an Arabic writer, c. 987, found a sect of Sabaeans in the desert who counted El-Chasaiach as their founder (Chwolsohn, Die Ssabier, 1856, I, 112; II, 543, cited by Salmon).

According to Hippolytus the teaching of Alcibiades was borrowed from various heresies. He taught circumcision, that Christ was a man like others, that he had many times been born on earth of a virgin, that he devoted himself to astrology, magic, and incantations. For all sins of impurity, even against nature, a second baptism is enjoined "in the name of the great and most high God and in the name of His Son the great King", with an adjuration of the seven witnesses written in the book, sky, water, the holy spirits, the Angels of prayer, oil, salt, and earth. One who has been bitten by a mad dog is to run to the nearest water and jump in with all his clothes on, using the foregoing formula, and promising the seven witnesses that he will abstain from sin. The same treatment—forty days consecutively of baptism in cold water—is recommended for consumption and for the possessed. Other Ebionites in Epiphanius's time practiced this treatment. That saint tells us that mention was made in the book of Elchasai's brother, Iexai, and that the heresiarch was a Jew of the time of Trajan. Two of his descendants, two sisters, Marthus and Marthana, lived till the days of Epiphanius. They were reverenced as goddesses and the dust of their feet and their spittle were used to cure diseases. This suggests that Elchasai was not a fictitious personage. He was presumably a primitive leader of an Ebionite community, to whom Alcibiades ascribed his own book. We learn further from Epiphanius that the book condemned virginity and continence, and made marriage obligatory. It permitted the worship of idols to escape persecution, provided the act was merely an external one, disowned in the heart. Prayer was to be made not to the East, but always towards Jerusalem. Yet all sacrifice was condemned, with a denial that it had been offered by the patriarchs or under the Law. The Prophets as well as the Apostles were rejected, and of course St. Paul and all his writings. It has been customary to find Elcesaite doctrine in the Clementine "Homilies" and "Recognitions", especially in the former. On the groundlessness of this see Clementines.

SCHERER, shā-rār, Edmond (Henri Adolphe), French critic: b. Paris, 8 April 1815; d. Versailles, 16 March 1889. He studied at the law faculty of Paris, took a course in theology at Strassburg, entered the Protestant ministry in 1840 and in 1845 became professor of exegesis in the Ecole Evangelique, Geneva, popularly known as L'Oratoire. This he resigned in 1849 and became a leader in the liberal movement in Protestant theology. He was elected to the National Assembly from Seine-et-Oise in 1871 and became life-senator in 1875. In both chambers he was a prominent representative of the left centre. He was made chief literary critic of the Temps in 1860, later its editor. He took rank as a brilliant though opinionated critic, his reputation in this field having been made by a series of articles on important thinkers and writers of other literatures in the Revue des Deux Mondes. Among his writings in book form are ‘Dogmatique de l'Eglise Réformé’ (1843); ‘La Critique et la Foi’ (1850); ‘Alexandre Vinet, sa vie et ses écrits’ (1853); ‘Etudes Critiques sur la Littérature Contemporaine’ (1863-89); ‘Diderot’ (1880), and the posthumous ‘Etudes sur la Littérature au XVIIIe Siècle’ (1891).

Wikisource talk:WikiProject Proofreading

List smallest works 1st
Is there a way to create a list of unfinished books with the least # of edits & proofreads needed first? Can the list be separated from needed edits and proofreads? It should "increase the rate of completed works". Does anyone else have any ideas? In haste, William Maury Morris II (talk) 21:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done that as a one-off starting with Hesperion's lists and you'll find a link in top rh corner of my essay: Chris55/Essay2/Short works needing proofreading.
 * Note that I've started myself and have got as far as "A Book of Nursery Rhymes.djvu", so start after that. But I haven't done those which are not proofread at all. Maybe you'd like to sign up to the project! Good luck! Chris55 (talk) 09:08, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Begging for Validation of Books

 * What is the reason for "signing up"? Every day and/or night I proofread other people's work, and validate other people's work, as well as bring in new books I like and proofread those that I bring in. However, when it comes to having works validated I have to beg on people's talk pages to get a portion of my work validated. Thus I find myself running hither and yon begging to several people to get a completely validated work on mine. At this point in time I feel hurt and to ward that feeling away, I feel some anger which I must not let grow within me. Sign up for more of that? I cannot do any more than I have been doing. I am doing exceedingly well without signing up for it. The people who start new books should make a very strong attempt to finish what they start! William Maury Morris II (talk) 23:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * William, I don't think yours is an isolated experience. The main difference with others is that you are more determined to get the job finished and that's precisely why I'd like you to sign up! What I'd like us to do is to change the whole atmosphere on Wikisource so that getting works proofread becomes an important issue. So far there hasn't yet even been a collective yawn! It's not that many of the plans will not need to be agreed in the community as a whole, but that there are a lot of different things that need doing: tools, presentations on the Community portal, policies for deciding whether books are 'done', encouraging newcomers to stay and continue proofreading etc. Chris55 (talk) 08:15, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, Chris, I don't think my situation is an isolated experience either. Well, I know it isn't. That is why for the past 3 or 4 months I have been working on other people's projects. There are always some validations needed and sometimes some proof-reading is needed as well as some corrections needed. I would like to state that any person starting a book should finish that book before being allowed to bring in another book to WS. This is not something I have thought over but rather something that just now came to mind. I just finished working on several books and two more are declared "done". I had other a couple of days ago that I completed. Take a look at the watchlist and you will see how much I work on other's unfinished pages. I don't think you will get a collective yawn and never did think that would happen because most people are very busy doing their projects plus assisting others. I think the situation is more like we don't have enough workers for the beehive. The workers in the hive are always busy as that is their instinctive nature. If any are around that are lazy then that is their own nature and it won't be changed. I don't know what "tools" you refer to. That is something an administrator gets to do more work than possible which is part of the reason I bowed out of possible administrator-ship and applauded your work. I have the Southern Historical Society Papers "portal" and a lot of major work there, That was intended to be a collective effort but it did not happen. Others had different interests. I have many pages there that are proofread now and they have been there a long time but I can get no validations. I don't see the difficulties of deciding if a book is done. When it looks like the one brought in, has been proofread and *validated* then it is ready to be declared "done". I do not believe any book not completely validated by that second reader should be allowed to be declared as "done". However, I watch the pros here and amongst them I watch Billinghurst and it seems to me that an issue he sees is that we cannot force people to do what they should do and again, -- we don't have enough workers. Many, if not most of the best workers, like yourself, are administrators with a volunteered program of work by "signing up" -- kind of like volunteering for the military (Vietnam) as I recall the process. I will work as I always have been since 2006 on WP & WS without signing for anything. I really don't see how I could do more than what I have been doing which got me "nominated" for administrator. So, I will ask, what else is there you would suggest I do while I would have to stop some of what I already have been doing? Hey, I am with you, or I wouldn't be conversing with you now. I think you are good at what you do and smart which is why I voted for you and promoted you as much as I could under that nomination situation. I love your ideas and skills but as always, when a situation calls for volunteers we at WS can go but so far and I personally don't know hw far that is but I will say I promote also from FaceBook and that is all I am on FaceBook for -- to promote only WS. Today, or I suppose it was yesterday by now, I finished up a work that needed editing and proofreading and validations, went directly to the persons home talk page and congratulated him/or her. That was another work I completed as "done", complete with all pages validated. I am going to have to crash for awhile now. I put in a lot of good work today and *that* is what I like to do. I get pride from working hard and was raised that way by my combat-military WW2 father. Do not be disheartened. Use your imagination and keep moving forward. Let me know if there is something different that you specifically need for me to do. P.S. I just remembered, your images of those squirrels are terrible. Yes, I covered your work too.  Most Respectfully, William Maury Morris II (talk) 09:13, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * William, you seem to regard signing up as the equivalent of responding to a call-up! It isn't - it's simply a sign of interest and support. It doesn't work that well generally on Wikis but has its point.

 * Yes, but only in the context of me giving my word (which I value) to something and that something or somethings are unknowns to me. Exactly what is it that you would like for me to do?--William

 * I'm certainly with Billinghurst that we can't force people to do anything - but we can make it easier by providing a framework.

 * I seriously believe that if you could get some backing for any of your ideas from Billinghurst then people may well follow. He is the number 1 leader and is very smart. He also is kind and helps others. I learned this long ago when I first came to WS and knew nobody here.--William

Many of the "tools" I'm talking about are to keep the lists of proofreading tasks up to date. For an example of how they could be used I could point you to the distributed proofreaders' page that Gutenberg uses for an equivalent purpose.

 * One has to have a password to get into that area and it is case sensitive as I have read after reading your statement. I suppose it is easy enough to get one.--William

Unfortunately for that you have to sign up and that may be too much! (But you did it for WS so maybe you will.)

 * I am not shy. I am signed up to Facebook with my real name and my photo showing before one even logs in to Facebook. I also got my B.S. and M.S.in Psychology and understand reverse psychology ((smiley)). I have my PhD in cultural anthropology.--William

Their system is a lot more organised than I suspect WS will ever be, but WS uses a lot of their effort without the slightest acknowledgement (something I'd like to change).

THAT I agree with 100 percent! It is a motivator just as is the awards we get for proofreading the book of the month. I made a similar statement a few times about Napoleon's reply to a staff officer giving out so many medals and that each was worth "10,000 men".--William

If you were to look you'll see they have a list of around 30 works to choose from at any one time - and there are similar lists for the other proofreading stages (they have rather more than WS). That seems a good tradeoff, allowing people to choose something that interests them but keeping the focus on sufficiently that those works see real progress. It's surprising that no one has done anything simple like that at WS. Chris55 (talk) 11:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I knew Project Gutenberg when it started. I remember the "coming of Amazon.com" ads on CNN later. I was on Internet and participated but with my own books one of which is still on Internet showing my full name and it has been there now for 19 years. However, I have not followed the modern Project Gutenberg. I feel a loyalty to Wikisource because I have been treated very nice here for several years. I do not want to copy any of Gutenberg's texts to Wikisource. Sure they have more texts than Wikisource but PG started many years before Wikisource was dreamed up and came into reality. I posted many books on web pages including an illustrated version of Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice found there, and Hunting of the Snark -- and many other webpages on Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, Major General Dabney Maury -- and still other works and I also computer-colored all illustrations of the Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass! These colored images exist nowhere else. I have also published books and sold them via internet before Amazon.com existed and one copy went to England while another went to Australia. That particular work was on Matthew Fontaine Maury and is housed in their respective observatories. I had the University of Puget Sound (Washington) print them up for me at cost and a copy. I have produced oh, I suppose 25 books on internet via webpages which some of I transferred here to WS in WS format when I first came here. Webpages do not last so I transferred much of them, but not all, into information in Wikipedia articles under Brother Officer and Maury, and William Maury Morris, and also here on the older part of Wikisource . (Search on WS for two of the volumes of "Exploration of the Amazon". Vol. 1 was done by Wm Lewis Herndon and vol.2 was done by Lardner Gibbon. I transcribed both of from original books I own on webpages before I broughjt them here circa 2006 or 2009 as Brother Officer and as my real name. I competed with myself as one plays a chess game alone using the two names. There was no other reason than that for the use of two names. BTW! IA only has one version combined into 2 works! They are not exactly the same as my 2 *illustrated* books here on WS. I will now go log in to Project Gutenberg and look around. I still would like to know what *specifically* would you like for me to do. You have to know that it would subtract time away from what I have been doing here on WS and I will not betray (leave) WS unless I am kicked out. I consider most people here as good friends over many years who have helped me learn. I have not proofread all of this Jabber-Wockey. Respectfully, William Maury Morris II (talk) 21:11, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

"Imagine"
Chris, I tried to register on the link you posted four times times and the following is what I got from the url: http://techlogon.com/2012/04/29/hotmail-accounts-hacked-no-matter-how-strong-the-password/

Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at techlogon.com.

Domain temporarily rejected. Too many compromised accounts. Humans please read this article.

I registered the same hotmail account that I have had listed here on Wikisource and Wikipedia for a long while now. So, you are not registered there with a hotmail account? I'll try again later. William Maury Morris II (talk) 22:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * William, I didn't send you to techlogon.com but to http://www.pgdp.net . I don't have a hotmail account so I'm not sure what might have been going on there. I thought about doing a fake registration but there's not much point. All I can say is please make sure you went to the right address. Chris55 (talk) 23:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I know you did not send me to techlogon.com I clicked on the link you provided and I suspect that because I had been using my hotmail account I was diverted to the page I showed above. I copied that url to show you where I had ended up.

 * I will try again with my hotmail e-mail account which is listed here on Wikisource. You can send e-mail me to that account. If the process to Gutenberg rejects me again I may register for yet another account such as Yahoo (which I dislike) or perhaps AOL if that still exists. Kindest regards, William Maury Morris II (talk) 07:10, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Okay, I am in. You need to know that if anyone else you send to that area uses a hotmail account as their address for registration, as I did, that all hotmail accounts are rejected at registration. The rest is shown above where I was diverted to that security url which provided me with that feedback information I posted. I did not use a hotmail account to register this time and it was easy registering and logging in. So, what "Team" am I supposed to join? That place is so fine in organization I think I will leave Wikisource as soon as I learn my way around there. William Maury Morris II (talk) 14:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't leave me in the lurch!! That wasn't why I sent you there! I suggest you start looking at the Proofreading Guidelines which you can get to by clicking on the Help tab, and then go for the Proofreading Quiz. It's quite challenging! But in fact you're only allowed to start on P1 the first round of proofreading before graduating to formatting after a minimum 21 days - I still have half of that to go.
 * What I'd like you to do is to create a list similar to their P1 list using the Intermediate works list. ie. pick a suitable set of around 30 varied texts and insert the proper titles and authors with suitable selection of other information. You could add one or two from the other longer lists, but not too many. Chris55 (talk) 10:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Chris, if you feel that you are in a "lurch" it isn't because of me. You yourself stated in the text above that, "So far there hasn't yet even been a collective yawn!". But I have been communicating with you on this. I started by asking why "sign up" and continued to follow your suggestions where I learned that no "hotmail" address can register and told you of that so you can pass it on to any of the other people you many encounter. There must be a reason why there was, "So far there hasn't yet even been a collective yawn!" and all others here on WS have not even tried communicating on these ideas you have to better WS. I myself do not want to do as you finally suggested and thus a reason for one not to "sign up" while not knowing what the task/s may be. At least I went this far while all others (how many people are active on WS?) refused to produce that "collective yawn!" I came to WS long ago to work with books. Next came editing books beside images and codes to be used so that the text will look as much like an original book. I dislike that but I do it because of the books. I have no interest in working with where it was suggested I went nor working with boring lists which is why, in part, I withdrew from nomination as an administrator. Don't dislike me for trying to assist and learning what tasks you had lined up as I have been asking about that from the very beginning of our conversation here. Sections of what you suggest should, I believe, be posted to Scriptorium in a question format but a piece-by-piece form of questions. Kind regards, William Maury Morris II (talk) 04:06, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ok, your answer to my request is "no". I am using the scriptorium, sometimes more successfully than others. Is your conclusion that we have nothing to learn from pgdp or did you not get through the barriers? Chris55 (talk) 16:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I had no problems there, did not use my real name, and did not conclude anything other than it was impressively organized. I am still convinced that nobody is going to "sign up" and take on that task that you suggested because it is boring. People come to WS to work on books although some like charts and lists as do I once someone else has made them. Why don't you make what you are suggesting since you know the pgdp area? I mean no offense in asking that but I am curious about it as well as your other suggestions. Meanwhile, I have been working on the books on that list you pointed out to me and have finished, I believe, 3 or 4. I don't know the exact count because that is not the only areas where I proofread and validate. Kind regards, William Maury Morris II (talk) 05:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Introductory proofreading
This is the first draft of a possible new policy, which I'd like comments on.

One of the biggest problems with the current setup is that people are thrown in the deep end and have to take on board all the complications of the proofread system, including page headers and footers, tables, intricate formatting, etc. Without this they can't properly mark any page as "proofread".

One can sensibly distinguish two stages of proofreading: the first in making sure all the words are on the page correctly and the second in making sure that all the accompanying formats are adhered to. This has not been made a feature of the Wikisource proofreading system though it is consistently enforced in similar projects such as Distributed Proofreaders.

I'd like to propose a different approach on Wikisource, that it is 'enough' to do the first stage--of checking the words on the page--in order to mark a page as 'proofread'. People should be encouraged to do as much formatting as they can manage, but shouldn't be forced to mark a page as 'problematic' if they cannot complete the formatting.

This needs a separate list of instructions of what to do in different circumstances. e.g. it is not acceptable to avoid adding accents or foreign characters, but it is ok not to mark italics. A draft list is at Plain text proofreading.

It may be objected that this will lead to a situation in which you can't depend on the result of the first stage: but what I'm really proposing is that the second stage--of validation--may have more 'meat' in it and should therefore have higher profile. At present the only purpose of the validation stage is to check that the proofreader hasn't made any mistakes. Whilst this is an important check, it can be rather tedious if the first stage has been done well. (And once something is tedious there is a danger it will be done inadequately.) Also there is nothing to stop a beginner from doing the validation stage simply as a second proofreader; whereas the second stage ought to be done by someone more experienced who can catch any of the many errors that can be made.

Ideally, the software should prevent a beginner from doing the validation stage, but it's probably not an option to consider this until we can establish an accepted range of activities for beginners.

It does mean that the criteria for transclusion and moving a project to the "to be validated" state will need to be modified.

Comments? Chris55 (talk) 19:09, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I have to think about it carefully. Today the proofreading stage and the formatting stage are together; your proposal is to split them doing the proofreading before and the formatting after. So the name of the 4th quality level should be probably renamed ("Formatted" instead of "Validated"). Maybe this would be useful. I support for now, but I might change my mind after reflection.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 10:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm not saying that both can't be done in the first stage - merely that it's not required. (What I'd like to do is to provide more buttons on the editor so that people could do a lot more without having to learn all the codes. But either working out how to do that or getting someone more into javascript to do it is problematic.) But what has hit me is how much we require of people to even start proofreading. People will come across many of the issues in my list even without learning codes. I'd certainly expect people to do the simpler things (e.g. italics) from the word go, but no guidelines are laid down either for declaring a text proofread or even for when transclusion takes place. The person doing either of these has to take responsibility for checking the text (e.g. missing images), not just checking the index page. e.g. with the Darien expedition text, although it was all marked 'validated' nobody had put in the entry at the end--it's not something you find out till you do the transclusion.
 * One important thing is that it's generally pretty obvious when the extra formatting has not been done, so someone doesn't have to read every word to be able to tell. e.g. page headings, footnotes, tables. But they do almost certainly need to look at each page. Chris55 (talk) 16:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I have a question. When do we add references/ since I see them on each page as long as the Index has it. I have another question. What purpose does Dhr (w/braces} have over br. It seems to me the both just add a blank line. I have another question, when do we use [smallrefs], is it when we have 1 to x# of footnotes? I have another question, is (nop) used on every page as long as it is a not continued paragraph? I have some more questions later regarding edit conflicts for editing text and multiple "reverts" in battles over "the best images". I just came home from shopping for groceries. Is anyone out there hungry? I can always order a pizza of your choice if you don't like spicy hot Mexican food.  —  William Maury Morris II  Talk 20:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Wm, we're discussing not doing any formatting at the first stage, so that none of the items you talk about are relevant at this point. Chris55 (talk) 21:35, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * "I'm not saying that both can't be done in the first stage - merely that it's not required." Chris, I can't see the difference from now if we do both in the first stage. Splitting them would be the challenge. And if they are split, different toolboxes might be displayed: a toolbox for proofreading, with special characters, and another for formatting, with templates, table codes, etc.
 * Now the quality pathway is Not proofread (1) > Problematic (2) > Proofread (3) > Validated (4). If the two stages are split, it should become Not proofread (1) > Proofread (2) > Problematic (3) > Validated and formatted (4). There are two changes: the position of "Proofread" and "Problematic" is inverted, and "Validated" becomes "Validated and formatted" as the last contributor to the page should both format and check against errors. Everything is feasible, but this may require a discussion on OldWikisource.
 * Yes, Maury, order a pizza! It was a beautiful day in Italy, too!--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 10:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Erasmo, If you look at Plain text proofreading you'll see that I include problematic images at step 16, so I'm not quite sure if the order needs inverting. I don't think there's any implied ordering at present: I've certainly caught quite a few pages that have been marked proofread and turned them into problematic. Do you think that marking is there mainly to help people who can't do the formatting? It may have been the original intention, but it's rather depressing to expect someone to use it on nearly every page.
 * Sorry for the delay in answering - I've been in the south of France for the last week well away from internet connections!

 * I think the problematic mark is for pages which are really difficult to format correctly (for example, tables), not for missed images.
 * Then do you agree about the new pathway? If so, the discussion can begin at the central place.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 18:50, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * It's probably designed for any problems (but I do wish for a wysiwyg table editor: not hard to do). I finally see your point: there wouldn't be a need for 2 edits after the 'problematic'. But can we assume that someone has proofread a page that's been marked as 'problematic'? It might just be a 'yuk' response, without attempting anything. Chris55 (talk) 10:28, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, we can (not just for a slogan). What kind of problems may occur when doing a plain text proofreading? The real problems are with formatting, I think. However, I'd like to be contradicted because all would be easier this way! And I'm not crazy...
 * Along with the subpage you have written, there should be another one which explains what the second contributor has to do: check for errors, words in bold and italic... It may be created at a later time anyway.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Text itself can be problematic when there are special characters, sections of a foreign language quoted in a work, or obsolete characters like the long-S. Some editors won't know how to deal with these issues, and may mark the page as "problematic" for those purely textual reasons. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:25, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * And someone has just used it to indicate copyright problems on lots of pages... Actually I don't think these blue pages are a big problem. Normally, there are less than half a dozen in a work and someone can clean them up in a short time (assuming it's possible). But I do agree we need much more documentation for the validation process. I'm thinking about it... Chris55 (talk) 06:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

<< So everything is easier because this decision concerns en.source only. Will you open the proposal at the Scriptorium? The change is: moving the formatting process from the 3rd to the 4th level of the proofreading pathway; the 4th level may need to be renamed ("Validated and formatted").--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 15:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

As a beginner two quick comments. 1. It is not clear what formatting details are necessary to be declared 'proofread' now, for example, the spacing of headings in a new chapter, the indents on first line of a paragraph or the formatting of footnotes. Should I mark a page as problematic because the signature is on the left rather than the right? 2. Joining a book in progress might be intimidating as one does not want to do different formatting from other pages in the book, which might use unfamiliar templates. In both cases, formatting is more likely to lead to "mistakes" and allowing a beginner to feel comfortable making them, while still feeling that they are making a significant contribution, is important. MarkLSteadman (talk) 16:48, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your contribution. Actually, joining a book in progress is difficult because one has to look at the already formatted pages for a lot of things. Doing the formatting in the last stage will help everyone.
 * Some tips about the issues you cited: in wiki-code each heading should have a blank line above and one below (not more than one because they would create empty paragraphs); the indentation of the first line of a paragraph should not be copied; footnotes should be surrounded by <ref></ref> tags and placed at the position of the markers.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 15:16, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Comparison to PGDP
This project hasn't gone anywhere for over three years, but I wanted to put my two cents in. I agree that Wikisource needs to address this. I think that we need to make it easy for complete novices to proofread texts here.

I've proofread pages at PGDP in the past, and I've been an editor at WP and at Commons for many years, and now here for quite a while, and I still find some of the workflow stuff here baffling. I remember when templates were very scary. I now see transclusion as scary and something for me to figure out later. Match & split might as well be astrophysics. And then there are wiki-tables! When I started here at Wikisource, I remember being almost completely lost, despite my years of experience in wiki-land (and with PGDP). I aggressively sought help in the Scriptorium (and got it—the people here are wonderful!) but I think that is a really high bar to expect from Wikisource beginners, especially from someone with even less experience at related sites. You shouldn't have to know anything about wiki-land to proofread here.

(Caveat:  it's been a while since I was over at PGDP so I may be misremembering some things, but these are my lasting impressions.)

PGDP is highly structured, and has evolved over the decades to address a lot of the same problems we have at Wikisource. Our problems are a little different in that the end product is expected to be formatted with wiki-markup rather than as plain text or HTML; but our ultimate goal of making PD texts accessible via crowdsourcing is the same, and we can learn from their experience instead of having to re-invent the wheel.

The most important thing PGDP does better than we do is:
 * 1) Make it really easy for beginners to dive in and successfully contribute something meaningful.

They have a variety of tools and workflow processes set up to help beginners do this:
 * 1) Provide a comparatively short list of projects available for proofreading, rated Beginners Only, Easy, Medium, and Hard
 * 2) Provide an interface with a special proofreading font that makes it much easier to spot and correct "scannos"
 * 3) Provide feedback mechanisms to beginners, both via required automated tutorials and with real people (where a more-experienced proofreader follows up with corrections)
 * 4) Not allow proofreaders to "progress" to "higher levels" of editing, such as formatting and project (book) creation and management, until they have achieved a certain number of proofread pages.

The last is probably inconsistent with Wikisource (and I think that's a good thing). But others could be implemented.

 * 1) Make it easy for beginners (and everyone else) to find projects that need basic proofreading. As a beginner this was definitely my first frustration.  I found it really, really hard just to find a project to work on!  The "Explore Wikisource" section turned out to have only finished works!  We could do this several ways.
 * 2) Re-organize the Main Page to emphasize proofreading. We want to draw people in not only to browse and read, but to edit.  (This is a problem across all wiki projects IMO, but especially here.)  Not only should POTM be at the top, but there should be something in the very top banner that says, "want to proofread a page?  click here" (or something similar).
 * 3) Ditto the Community Portal. (Talk about a vague page name—again, not a Wikisource-specific problem.)
 * 4) Include proofreading in "Explore Wikisource."
 * 5) Provide more accessible lists of projects to make it easy for anyone to find a project they find interesting.
 * 6) New categories for project/index pages based on difficulty ratings like Beginners, Easy, Medium, and Hard. Right now if you click on one of those maintenance categories (assuming you can find them) you get thousands of pages.  That's intimidating.  People looking for a project to work on generally don't want to see a list of pages;  a list of projects is more digestible.
 * 7) New categories by subject (like for completed texts).
 * 8) Lists sortable by various criteria, such as easy/hard, total number of pages, number of pages needing to be proofread/validated. I've noticed over at PGDP that some people really enjoy knocking out projects with only a few pages left, while others gravitate to more meaty texts.
 * 9) Redevelop Proofread of the Month, possibly under a new name (Featured? Portal?).
 * 10) To be fair, I haven't looked at this in a long time, so some of it may have changed, but there is no good reason to have a project finished in a few days and then there is no more project for 25 days.
 * 11) At all times provide not just one title, but a list of several projects/books rated at each level, including at least one serial/multivolume, with more easy ones than hard ones.
 * 12) Is there a way to queue up projects for it that is then automatically "released" by bot like at PGDP?
 * 13) Anyone can rate a project and/or submit it to the queue.
 * 14) Promote this heavily as the go-to place for beginners.
 * 15) Encourage long-time users to come and validate beginner pages, and offer mentoring/advice.
 * 16) Develop a similar workflow/process/collaboration project for books needing validation (& eventually for other stages if they develop bottlenecks).
 * 17) Make the editing interface more beginner-friendly.
 * 18) Use the PGDP proofreading font. I use it myself here.  But when I asked for help how to do this (not easy to do if you're a beginner), the people who helped me were completely unfamiliar with it (and with PGDP itself) (and the response was more along the lines of, "that's odd, but here's how to do it" rather than "wow, cool!  I'm going to use that too!).  I think that's a shame because it is such a helpful tool.  We should strongly encourage its use it here, and default beginners to it.
 * 19) I think it would also be helpful to beginners if the Help box that shows at the top while editing (with links to Help and instructions) could be modified by the project manager (i.e., the person who uploaded the djvu and has taken on general management of a particular book) to include project-specific reminders and emphasis (such as "pay special attention to punctuation" or "handle long Ss this way" or "use small caps for page headers")——I think they do something similar at PGDP.
 * 20) Does everyone get the wikimarkup stuff below the editing box? It seems to me I had to modify my css or something to get it.  Perhaps it could be updated to include more Wikisource-specific proofreading codes and segregate out others to another choice from the drop-down menu.  Beginners should have this as the default.
 * 21) Expand the number of Page statuses. (There is some discussion of this above, though I admit I haven't read every word on this talk page.)
 * 22) I would suggest something like this:
 * 23) No text
 * 24) Text proofread; requires formatting
 * 25) Text proofread; missing images
 * 26) Text proofread; needs experienced formatter (for tables, ad columns, etc.)
 * 27) Text proofread; other problems
 * 28) Text proofread; all formatting done;  requires Validation
 * 29) Validated
 * 30) The Problematic status could be separated from the proofreading/formatting/validation. Right now the templates "missing images" and "missing table" flag some of these pages, but I think they are too specific and not always used (since beginners don't really know about them).  Aside from beginners, we need some improvements in helping to identify problematic pages by type so that experts can find them and help fix them.
 * 31) I think it is reasonable to allow, or even expect, beginners to learn about headers, footers, hyphenation, and basic formatting like bold and italics and even nop (though I still forget that last one myself). But I also think it's important that beginners should be allowed to do text-only proofreading if that's all they're comfortable with.  Any, some, or all formatting can be left undone, and we need a page status that reflects this.  Even as an experienced proofreader and formatter, I've wished for this, when I don't want to take the trouble right now to look up how to do some bit of formatting I've forgotten, but still want to be able to save my work as something other than "Not Proofread."
 * 32) Improve feedback to beginners.
 * 33) Encourage long-time users to come and validate beginner pages, and offer mentoring/advice via the expanded POTM.
 * 34) Consider implementing tutorials.
 * 35) To my way of thinking, the fact that anyone can work on anything here, and can create their own projects, is a bonus. I'm often frustrated, when I occasionally work over there at PGDP, that I'm not allowed to do even simple formatting like bold and italics until I've proofread an unfathomable number of pages.

 * However, there is no doubt that the funneled and gated approach used at PGDP gets proofreading of the texts done orders of magnitude faster than we do, both by providing focus through their short lists of available texts, and most importantly by very effectively harnessing casual users who want to do a few pages every now and then. They recognize that the vast majority of users only want to proofread and are never going to progress up the ladder to structural formatting and project management.  They recognize that you don't need to know how to do markup in order to proofread text, so they get the markup out of the way and let people proofread.  And ultimately, all those people who don't care about markup or project management get most of the work done.

 * I think we could do a lot more here to address these issues without resorting to gating or excessive restrictions.

In comparison to PGDP, Wikisource is missing the crowd in crowdsourcing. We're top-heavy with project managers. We need to invert the pyramid.

There were fewer than 350 Active users here the month before I wrote this, between 10 December 2015 and 10 January 2016 (perhaps that's low because of Christmas).

Imagine if instead of 350 project managers and 35 (or 350) proofreaders per month, we had 350 project managers and 3500 proofreaders. Really there's no upper limit to the number of proofreaders if we make it easy for them to proofread. No one on Wikisource should have to beg for proofreaders. We should instead have the luxury they have over at PGDP of proofreaders racing each other to finish a text.

If we make it easier for beginners to dive in and do something useful, then we can recruit. People from Wikipedia who really dig table formatting. People from Commons who really love editing images. People from outside wiki-land who don't know anything about wiki-markup and don't care but like the idea of casual proofreading without as many rigid rules as are over at PGDP (or who have never heard of PGDP either). This latter group should be our biggest resource rather than those we exclude. No one should have to learn about wiki-land, its structures, or its markup language in order to proofread texts here. All you need is a web browser to proofread. Until we acknowledge that, we'll never have enough proofreaders.

Thinking far down the road: if we ever get as many proofreaders here as over at PGDP, we'll need to implement a mechanism like they have there to prevent simultaneous edits. The current system would be insufficient for lots of proofreaders working at the same time: it's very frustrating and wasteful to proofread a page and then discover that someone else did it while you were working on it.

These are my preliminary ideas to work up and then perhaps submit for discussion at the Scriptorium. Laura1822 (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Hi, just found this! (I've come from WikiProject_Fast_Proofreading) I've been having the same ideas and issues. I've been working on a Proofreading guide based on PGDP here. I am at the stage of needing more technical support--to understand more about templates and being able to debate the merits of how and what templates to use; fixing the pulldown menus or creating custom menus. Would it be possible to have a PGDP frontend which is tuned to DP proofreading standards so we can use the DP proofreading skills here with minimal transition? etc... I was doing Post processing because I like working on the whole book but the WS experience is superior and much less daunting. I would like to do a standard Project guideline that does a book from archive.org to transclusion.
 * I think people could be pulled in to WS to work on their book of choice as the Project Facilitator. They can set any specific proofreading guidelines for "their" books and would be watching over any new proofreaders, hopefully in a supportive manner (or "their" book doesn't get proofread). They could promote their book on the main page. So to do that would require some kind of qualification like at DP or invitation like for mods? I get really peeved when someone objects to how I'm doing my project; I would like a consistent process that is as close to DP as reasonable.
 * I think I'll continue at Fast Proofreading, I think these are compatible ideas... Cheers, Zoeannl (talk) Zoeannl (talk) 07:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Declassified per Executive Order 13526, Section 3.3 NND Project Number: NND 63316. By: NWD Date: 2011 – 2 – Well-informed French and Annamese sources state that the Central Committee has been negotiating with local Japanese military authorities for the purchase of guns and ammunition, with the intent of using them, should either the French or Chinese attempt to reoccupy their areas. The Indo-Chinese fear a Chinese reoccupation because they feel the Chinese will become squatters living off the land, pillaging, raping, and looting. The French concur in this opinion only in so far as to wish exclusive administrative ringts for themselves. The leader of the Annamite Kuomintang Party in China and a direct representative of the Central Liberation Committee in Hanoi, made the following statement on 15 August:

 * "Should the French attempt to return to Indo-China with the intention of governing the country, and to act once more as oppressors, the Indo-Chinese people are prepared to fight to the end against any such reoccupation. On the other hand, if they came as friends to establish commerce, industry, and without aspirations to governmental rule, they will be welcomed the same as any other foreign power. The Central Committee wishes to make known to the United States Government that the Indo-Chinese people first of all desire the independence of Indo-China, and are hoping the United States, as a champion of democracy, will assist her in securing this independence in the following manner: (1) Prohibiting, or not assisting the French to enter Indo-China; (2) keeping the Chinese under control, in order that looting and pillaging will be kept to a minimum; (3) sending technical advisors to assist the Indo-Chinese to exploit the resources of the land; and (4) developing those industries that Indo-China is capable of supporting.

 * "In conclusion, the Indo-Chinese would like to be placed on the same status as the Philippines for an undetermined period."

The French representative in Kunming, Major Sainteny, is now receiving material aid from tho (SLFEO) Calcutta in making arrangements and readying personnel for the re-entry into Indo-China. His group were prepared to leave on the morning of 17 August. However, on arrival

Mr. Brown, Bunny, Sue and Bunker Blue came back from their little fishing trip, they saw Mother Brown walking about the camp, in and out among the tents, looking here and there.

"Have you lost something, Mother?" asked Bunny.

"Well, yes, I have—sort of," she said, smiling. "I've lost a pie!"

"Oh, a pie!" cried Sue. "Did you drop it, Mother, and did it fall down a crack in the board walk, like my penny did once?"

"No!" laughed Mrs. Brown. "It wasn't that way."

Then she told of having made four pies, setting them on the table to cool while she went to the spring for a pail of water.

"And when I came back, a whole pie was gone!" she said.

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "Well, we certainly didn't take it, for we weren't here," said Daddy Brown. "And you were all alone in camp, Mother?"

"Yes, even Uncle Tad was gone."

"Oh, maybe he came back and took it!" exclaimed Bunny.

"No, he wouldn't do that," said his mother. "Some animal, perhaps a big muskrat, like the one Splash tried to catch, came up out of the lake and carried away my pie. I was just looking to see if I could find any marks of the rat's paws in the soft ground, when you came along. But I couldn't see any."

"I don't believe it was a rat, or any other animal, that took your pie," said Mr. Brown, as he, too, looked carefully on the ground around the table where the pie had been placed. The three other pies were there, but the fourth one was gone.

"There isn't a sign of any four-legged animal having been here," Mr. Brown went on. "I think it was some animal with only two legs who took the pie."

"Oh, you mean a—a man!" cried Mother Brown.

"He couldn't help liking it," said Bunny Brown. "Your pies are always so good, Mother!"

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While in the woods, he, too, had to be told of the missing pie. Uncle Tad shook his head.

"We'll have to lock up everything around our camp if tramps are going to come in and take our pies, and the other good things Mother Brown makes," he said with a smile. "Or else one of us will always have to stay here to keep watch."

"I wish we had Tom Vine back," said Bunny. "I wonder where he is?"

Of course no one knew, and Mr. Brown began to think that, after all, Tom had done just as Mr. Trimble had said—had run away.

The next day, after breakfast, Sue, who was changing the dress of one of her dolls, saw brother Bunny walking along the path that led toward the spring. Bunny carried a small wooden box.

"What are you going to do. Bunny?" she asked him. "Get a box full of water?"

"Nope. This box won't hold water. It's got holes in."

"But what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to make a trap to catch a fox."

"Oh, Bunny! Can I help you?"


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/180

170 "Yes. Come on. But you must keep awful still, 'cause foxes are easy scared."

"I will, Bunny. And may I bring my doll with me? I can put her to sleep on some soft dried leaves when you want me to help you."

"Yes, you may bring one doll," said Bunny. "But don't bring one of the kind that cries when you punch it in the stomach, or it might make a noise and scare the fox. I'm going to catch one and train him to do tricks."

"How are you going to catch him, Bunny?"

"In this box. Come on, I'll show you."

"I guess I won't bring any of my dolls," said Sue, after thinking about it for a minute. "A fox might bite her."

"Yes, that will be better," said the little boy.

So, carrying the box, and some other things, which Sue helped him with. Bunny and his sister went a little way into the wood.

"Don't go too far!" their mother called after them.

"We won't!" they promised. Since coming to Camp Rest-a-While Bunny and Sue had not been lost, and they did not now want to have that trouble if they could help it.

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "Are there any foxes in here?" asked Sue, looking around as she and Bunny came near the spring.

"Hush! Don't speak so loud," whispered her brother. "You might scare 'em."

"Is they any here?" asked Sue, this time in a very soft whisper.

"I guess so," answered Bunny. "They must come to the spring to get a drink of water, same as we do. I'm going to put my trap near the spring."

There was a large flat stone, near the place where the water for the camp was found. On this stone Bunny put the box, bottom side up. It had no cover to it. One edge of the box Bunny held up by putting a stick under it, and to the stick he tied a long string.

"Is that a trap?" asked Sue.

"Yep," Bunny answered. "Now I'm going to put something under the box that foxes like. They'll crawl under to eat it, and when they're there I'll pull the string. That will make the stick come out and the box will fall down, and cover up the fox so it can't get away."


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/182

172 "Oh, that'll be fine!" cried Sue. "But what're you going to give the foxes to eat, Bunny?"

"I'll show you," said the little fellow. From his pocket he took some bits of bread, a few crumbs of dried cake, a little piece of pie wrapped in paper, and half an apple.

"There!" Bunny exclaimed as he put these things under the raised-up box. "Foxes ought to like all that. Now we'll hide back here in the bushes, Sue, and I'll have hold of the long string. As soon as we see a fox, or any other animal, go under the box, I'll pull away the little stick, and we'll catch him!"

"All right," said Sue. So, the trap having been set, Bunny and Sue hid themselves in the bushes to wait. But for a long time no fox, or any other animal, came along. Bunny and Sue grew tired of sitting in the bushes and keeping quiet. They could only whisper, and this was not much fun.

"I—I guess I'll go home," said Sue, after a bit.

"Oh, no, stay with me!" Bunny begged. "Maybe I'll catch a fox pretty soon. Oh, look,

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While Sue!" he cried, this time aloud, he was so excited. "There's a bird going into the box. I'll catch the bird, to show you how my trap works."

"You won't hurt the bird; will you, Bunny?" begged Sue.

"No, I won't hurt it a bit," Bunny replied.

A sparrow was hopping along the flat stone, toward the upraised box, under which were the bread and cake crumbs, and other good things that birds like. Closer and closer to the box went the bird, and finally it was all the way under, picking up the crumbs.

"Now watch me catch him!" cried Bunny.

He pulled the string, out came the stick, down came the box, and the bird was caught,

"I've got him! I've got him!" cried Bunny. "That's the way I'd catch a fox!"

He and Sue ran to the box trap. Bunny lifted it up and out flew the bird, not at all hurt, and only a little frightened. Bunny raised the box up again, and held it there with the stick. Then he and Sue went back among the bushes to wait; all ready to pull the string again.


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/184

174 But though Bunny's trap would catch a sparrow, there did not seem to be anything else he could catch. No foxes or other animals came to get a drink, and later Bunny's father explained to him that nearly all wild animals wait until after dark to get water, for fear of being caught.

After a while Bunny and Sue grew tired of waiting in the bushes.

"I'll just leave the trap here," said Bunny, "and maybe a fox will go in and knock the stick down himself. Then he'll be caught."

"But a fox could easy upset the box," said Sue.

"Maybe he could," agreed Bunny. "I'll put a stone on top of it." And he did.

Bunny and Sue reached camp in time for dinner. In the afternoon they went with their mother to pick huckleberries, and helped fill two pails.

"I'll make pies of these berries," said Mother Brown.

"And I hope nobody takes any of the pie," said Bunny. "'Cause I like huckleberry pie myself an awful lot."

In conversation later that day with Major Sainteny, he expressed the thought that the French had been betrayed by the Americans. He stated further that the Americans in China have right along been playing the Chinese game, although unwittingly. When questioned concerning his intentions from now on, he reluctantly stated there was nothing for the French to do but await instructions from Chungking. The French DGER in Kunming had infiltrated teams of men into Haiphong under the leadership of a Captain Blanchard. He has made contact with Lt. Col. Kamiya, former liaison officer between the Japanese military headquarters in Hanoi and Admiral Decoux' administration. Kamiya detained this team in Haiphong, confining their activities to transmitting messages concerning the surrender and meteorological data to the French headquarters in Kunming.

Reports from Kandy state that Col. Roos, Chief of the SLFEO in Calcutta, is now en route to Saigon to take part in the Japanese surrender on the staff of the British representatives. With Col. Roos is Col. Fay, formerly French Air Attache in Kunming, whose exact status is undetermined, but who is a member of Lord Mountbatten's staff.

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While That evening Daddy Brown built a campfire, and Bunny and Sue, with Bunker Blue, sat about it roasting marshmallows.

"I wish Tom Vine was here to help eat them," said Sue.

"So do I," agreed Bunny.

But Tom Vine was not there. Where was he? No one at Camp Rest-a-While could tell.

Bunny Brown did not sleep well that night. Perhaps he had eaten too many marshmallow candies. At any rate, he awoke soon after he went to bed. He was wishing he had a drink of water, and he was thinking whether he would best get up for it himself, or awaken his father, when the little fellow heard a noise outside the tent. It was a noise as if someone were walking around. At first Bunny thought it was Splash, but, looking over in the corner of the sleeping-tent. Bunny saw his dog there. Splash, too, had heard the noise, for he was getting up and growling deep in his throat.

Then, all at once, came a loud bang, as if someone had knocked down five or six tin pans.

I haue not found or heard by any others of any property peculiar in this plant, to be applied either inwardly or outwardly for any dieae: the chiefe or onely ve thereof is, to be an ornament for the Gardens of the curious louers of thee delights, and to be worne of them abroad, which for the gallant beauty of many of them, deerueth their courteous entertainment, among many other the like pleaures.

Ext vnto the Lillies, and before the Narcii or Daffodils, the dicoure of Tulipas deerueth his place, for that it partaketh of both their natures; agreeing with the Lillies in leaues, flowers, and eede, and omewhat with the Daffodils in rootes. There are not onely diuers kindes of Tulipas, but undry diuerities of colours in them, found out in thee later dayes by many the earchers of natures varieties, which haue not formerly been oberued: our age being more delighted in the earch, curioity, and rarities of thee pleaant delights, then any age I thinke before. But indeede, this flower, aboue many other, deerueth his true commendations and acceptance with all louers of thee beauties, both for the tately apect, and for the admirable varietie of colours, that daily doe arie in them, farre beyond all other plants that grow, in o much, that I doubt, although I hall in this Chapter et downe the varieties of a great many, I hall leaue more vnpoken of, then I hall decribe; for I may well ay, there is in this one plant no end of diuerity to be expelled, euery yeare yeelding a mixture and variety that hath not before been oberued, and all this ariing from the owing of the eede. The chiefe diuiion of Tulipas, is into two orts: Præcoces, early flowring Tulipas, and Serotinæ, late flowring Tulipas. For that ort which is called Mediæ or Dubiæ, that is, which flower in the middle time betweene them both, and may be thought to be a kinde or ort by it elfe, as well as any of the other two: yet becaue they doe neerer participate with the Serotinæ then with the Præcoces, not onely in the colour of the leafe, being of the ame greennee with the Serotinæ, and mot vually alo, for that it beareth his talke and flower, high and large like as the Serotinæ doe; but epecially, for that the eede of a Media Tulipa did neuer bring forth a Præcox flower (although I know Cluius, an indutrious, learned, and painfull earcher and publiher of thee rarities, aith otherwie) o farre as euer I could, by mine owne care or knowledge, in owing their eede apart, or the aurance of any others, the louers and owers of Tulipa eede, oberue, learne, or know: and becaue alo that the eede of the Serotinæ bringeth forth Medias, and the eede of Medias Serotinæ, they may well bee comprehended vnder the generall title of Serotinæ: But becaue they haue generally receiued the name of Media, or middle flowring Tulipas, to ditinguih between them, and thoe that vually doe flower after them; I am content to et them downe, and peake of them euerally, as of three orts.

"! Daddy!" cried Bunny Brown. "Daddy, did you hear that?"

"I couldn't very well help hearing it," said Mr. Brown sitting up on his cot, which was next to Bunny's. "Who's out there?" Mr. Brown cried, and with a jump he reached the flaps of the tent, which he opened, so he could look out.

Splash, who had jumped out, barking, when the noise sounded, rushed out of the tent. The tins had stopped rattling, and it was very quiet outside, except for the noise Splash made.

"What is it?" called Mrs. Brown, from her side of the tent.

"I don't know," answered her husbands "Someone—or some animal—seems to be making a noise. Maybe it is someone after more of your pies, Mother."

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "We'll take a look," said Uncle Tad. He got out of his bed, and went to stand beside Daddy Brown at the opening of the tent.

"Can you see anything?" Mrs. Brown asked. Bunny could hear his sister whispering. Sue, also, had been awakened, and wanted to know what had caused the noise in the night.

"No, I can't see anything," said Mr. Brown. "Splash is coming back, so I guess it wasn't anything."

He and Uncle Tad could see the children's dog walking back to his bed in the tent. Splash slept on a piece of old carpet. The dog was wagging his tail.

"What is it, Splash? Did you see any tramps?" asked Mr. Brown.

Splash did not answer, of course, but he wagged his tail as he always did Yaitn he was with his friends.

"I guess it couldn't have been anything," Mr. Brown went on. "Maybe a squirrel or chipmunk was looking for some crumbs in the dining-tent, and knocked down the pans. I'll just take a look out there to make sure."

Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/188

178 Mr. Brown and Uncle Tad went outside the tent. Splash did not go with them. He seemed to think everything was all right.

"Did you find him, Daddy?" asked Bunny, when his father came back.

"No, son. I don't believe there was anyone. I saw where the pans had been knocked down, but that was all."

Bunny was given the drink of water he wanted and soon was asleep. The others, too, became quiet and slept. But in the morning Mrs. Brown, in getting breakfast, found that a piece of bacon and some eggs had been taken from the ice box.

"The eggs and bacon were in the refrigerator all right when I washed up the supper dishes last night," she said. "I counted on having them for breakfast. Now they're gone!"

"Then there must have been someone in our camp, snooping around last night," said Daddy Brown. "It was a tramp, after all. And when he helped himself to something to eat he knocked down the pans. That's how it happened."


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/189

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "I suppose so," said Mother Brown. "Well, I'm sure if the poor tramp was hungry I'm glad he got something to eat. But I wish he had not taken my bacon and eggs."

However, there was plenty else to eat in Camp Rest-a-Whiie, so no one went hungry.

"I wonder if it was the same tramp that took the pie," said Bunny as he finished the last of his glass of milk.

"He must be a hungry tramp to eat a whole pie, and all those eggs, and the big piece of bacon," said Bunker Blue.

"Oh, I guess the things he took lasted him for several meals," Mr. Brown said. "The funny part of it is, though, that Splash did not bark. When he ran out of the tent last night the tramp could not have been far away. And yet Splash did not bark, as he always does when strangers are around at night. I think that's queer."

"So do I," put in Uncle Tad. "Maybe Splash knew the tramp."

"Splash doesn't like tramps," said Bunny.

"Well, he must have liked this one, for he didn't bark at him," added Bunker Blue with


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/190

180 a laugh. "Maybe Splash knew this tramp before you children found your dog, on the island where you were shipwrecked."

For Bunny and Sue had found Splash on an island, as I told you in the first book of this series. That was when Bunny and Sue were "shipwrecked," as they called it.

Nothing else had been taken from Camp Rest-a-While except the bacon and eggs, and as Bunker Blue was going to the village that day he could buy more meat for Mother Brown. The eggs they could get at the farmhouse where they bought their milk. So, after all, no harm was done.

"The only thing is," said Daddy Brown, "that I don't like the idea of tramps prowling about our tents at night. I'd rather they would keep away."

It was so lovely, living out in the woods, near the beautiful lake, as the Browns were doing, that they soon forgot about the noise in the night, and the tramps. Bunny and Sue were getting as brown as little Indian children. For they wore no hats and they went about with only leather sandals on, and no

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While stockings, their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, so their arms and legs were brown, too. They often went bathing in the cool lake, for, not far from the camp, was a little sandy beach.

Of course, it was not like an ocean beach, or the one at Sandport Bay, for there were only little waves, and then only when the wind blew. In the ocean there are big waves all the while, pounding the sandy shore.

One day Mrs. Brown told daddy they needed some things from the village store—sugar, salt, pepper—groceries that could not be bought at the farmhouses near by.

"I'll take the children, row over, and get what you want," said Mr. Brown, for it was easier to row across the lake, and walk through the woods, than to walk half-way around the lake to the store. With Splash, Bunny and Sue in the boat Mr. Brown set off.

They landed on the other shore, and started to walk through the woods. On the way they had to pass along a road that was near to the farm of Mr. Trimble, the "mean man," as Bunny and Sue called him. Perhaps Mr.

Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/194

182 Trimble did not intend to be mean, or cross, but he certainly was. Some folk just can't help being that way.

"Huh! Are you coming over again to bother me about that runaway boy, Tom Vine?" asked Mr. Trimble, as he saw Mr. Brown.

"No, I've given Tom up," replied the children's father. "I guess he has gone back to the city. I'm sorry, for I wanted to help him."

"Boys are no good!" cried Mr. Trimble. "That Tom is no good. But I'll pay him back for running away from me!"

"Did he come back to you?" asked Mr. Brown, thinking perhaps, after all, the "ragged boy," as Sue sometimes called him in fun, might have thought it best to go back to the man who had first hired him.

"You don't see him anywhere around here; do you?" asked Mr. Trimble.

"No, I don't see him," said Mr. Brown, wondering why the farmer answered in that way.

"Well, he isn't here," said Mr. Trimble, and he went on hoeing his potatoes, for he was in

As Bunny, Sue and their father walked on, Splash did not come with them. He hung back, and seemed to want to stay close to a small building, near Mr. Trimble's barn. Splash walked around this building three or four times, barking loudly.

"What makes Splash act so funny?" asked Bunny.

"I don't know," answered Mr. Brown. "Here, Splash! Come here!" he cried. But Splash would not come.

" makes Splash act so queer?" asked Bunny again.

"I'm sure I don't know," said his father. "I guess we'll have to go back and get him."

Certainly Splash did not seem to want to keep on to the village with Mr. Brown and the children. The dog was running around and around the small house, barking loudly. Mr. Trimble seemed not to hear the dog's barks, but kept right on hoeing potatoes.

"We'll go back and get Splash!" decided Mr. Brown.

He and the children walked slowly back. Splash kept on barking.

"You seem to have something in that little house which excites our dog," said Mr. Brown.

"It doesn't take much to get some dogs

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While answered the farmer. He did not seem to care much about it, one way or the other.

"What sort of house is that?" asked Mr. Brown. He looked at it closely. The little house had no windows, and only one door. And there was a queer smell about it, as though it had once been on fire.

"That's a smoke-house," said Mr. Trimble. "It's where I smoke my hams and bacon. I hang them up in there, build a fire of corncobs and hickory wood chips, and make a thick smoke. The smoke dries the ham and bacon so it will keep all winter."

"What a funny house!" said Sue.

"It hasn't any windows," observed Bunny.

"We have to have smoke-houses tight and without windows," explained Mr. Trimble, "so the smoke won't all get out."

"Are there any hams or bacon in there now?" asked Mr. Brown.

"No, we don't do any smoking until fall, when we kill the pigs."

"Well, there's something in there that bothers our dog," went on the children's father. For, all this while, Splash was


text:
Page:Bunny Brown at Camp Rest-a-While.djvu/198

186 around the smoke-house, barking more loudly than before.

Just then Bunny Brown thought of something. He pulled at his father's coat and whispered to him:

"Oh, Daddy! Maybe Tom Vine is shut up in there—shut up in the smoke-house!"

Mr. Brown looked first at Bunny and then at the strange little house which had no windows. The door of it was tightly shut.

"That's so, Bunny," said Mr. Brown. "Perhaps Tom is in there. That would make Splash bark, for he knows where Tom is." Mr. Brown thought as Bunny did, that Mr. Trimble might have caught Tom, and locked him up in the dark smoke-house.

"Oh, Daddy! Do you s'pose Tom's in there?" asked Sue in a whisper, for she had heard what Bunny had whispered.

Daddy Brown nodded his head. He walked up to Mr. Trimble and said:

"Now look here! There's something in that smoke-house, and I want to see what it is. Our dog knows there's something there, and I'm pretty sure of it myself."

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "Well, what do you think it is?" asked Mr. Trimble. "If there's anyone in there I don't know it. But I'll open the door, and let you see. Your dog certainly is making a lot of noise."

"Have you got that poor boy, Tom Vine, locked up in there?" asked Mr. Brown.

The farmer laughed.

"Tom Vine locked up in there? Certainly not!" he cried. "I wish I did have. I'd like to punish him for running away from me. But I haven't seem him since he was at your camp. No, sir! He isn't in my smokehouse. I don't believe anything, or anybody, is in there. But I'll open the door and let you look inside. Why, the door isn't locked," the farmer went on, "and I guess I couldn't keep a boy like Tom Vine in a smoke-house without locking the door on him."

Mr. Brown did not know what to think now. As for Bunny and Sue they thought surely their new friend, Tom, was locked in the queer little house.

"Oh, now we'll see him!" cried Sue, and she felt very glad.

188 Mr. Trimble dropped his hoe across a row of potatoes, and walked to where Splash was still barking away in front of the smoke-house.

"Will your dog bite?" asked the farmer.

"No, he is very gentle," answered Mr. Brown. "But I'll call him away while you open the door."

"I'll hold him," said Bunny. "I'll hold him by his collar."

By this time Splash seemed to have barked enough, for he grew quiet. Perhaps he knew the door was going to be opened. He came away when Bunny called him, and the little boy held tightly to the dog's collar.

"I'll help you hold him," cried Sue, and she, too, took hold.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you," said Mr. Trimble, with a sour sort of laugh, "but you won't see any boy, or anything else, as far as I know, in this smoke-house. I did pile in some bean poles last fall, and I guess they're there yet, but that's all. Now watch close."

He put his shoulder against the door, and pushed. As it swung open, an animal, something like a little red dog, with a sharp,

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While pointed nose and a big, bushy tail, sprang out and ran down the little hill, on which the smoke-house stood.

"Why—why!" cried Mr. Trimble. "There was an animal in there after all! I didn't know it."

"A fox! It's a fox!" cried Bunny Brown. He had once seen in a book a picture of a fox, and this animal looked just like the picture.

"Yes, that's a fox sure enough, and I guess it's the one that's been taking my chickens!" cried Mr. Trimble. "I wish I had my gun! I'd shoot the critter!"

He picked up a stone, and threw it at the fox, but did not hit the running animal. Then something queer happened.

Splash, who was being held by Bunny and Sue, gave a sudden bark. Then he gave a sudden jump. He went so quickly that he pulled Bunny and Sue after him, and they both fell down in the dirt. But it was soft, so they were not hurt.

They had to let go of Splash's collar, though, and the dog now began to run after the fox, barking again and again.

190 "Splash! Splash!" cried Bunny. "Come back. The fox will bite you!"

"Don't worry," said Daddy Brown. "Splash can never catch that fox. The fox can run too fast, and he has a good head-start. Splash will soon get tired of running, and come back."

"The idea! The idea," exclaimed Mr. Trimble, "of a fox being in my smoke-house! That's what made your dog all excited."

"Yes, that was it," said Daddy Brown. "But I thought you might have Tom Vine shut up in there. I'm sorry I made the mistake."

"Oh, well, that's all right," said Mr. Trimble. He did not seem so cross now. He even smiled at Bunny and Sue.

"Maybe I was too quick with that boy," he said. "But I'm a hard working man, and them as works for me has to work hard, same as I do. But maybe I was too hard on Tom. I certainly was mad when he ran away and left me, and I made up my mind I'd punish him, if I could get him back. But I haven't seen him since he was at your camp. And you thought he was in the smoke-house?" he asked.

1. To mind, to thought, to device (dhī́), to design, and to intention, to opinion (matí), to instruction (çrutá), to sight, would we pay worship with oblation.

2. To expiration, to perspiration (vyāná), to breath the much nourishing, to Sarasvatī the wide extending, would we pay worship with oblation.

3. Let not the seers who are of the gods leave us, who are self (tanū́) protecting, self-born of our self; O immortal ones, attach yourselves to us mortals; grant life-time (ā́yus) in order to our further living.

1. As the string from the bow, do I relax (ava-tan) fury from thy heart, that, becoming like-minded, we (two) may hold together (sac) like friends.

Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While "Yes, I really did," replied Mr. Brown. "But I guess you didn't know a fox was in there; did you?"

"No, I didn't," answered the farmer. "He must have gone in during the night, when the door was open. The place sort of smells of meat, you know. Then the door blew shut, and the fox couldn't get out.

"And Splash smelled him!" cried Bunny, who had gotten up and was brushing the dust off. Sue was doing the same thing.

"Yes, your dog smelled the fox," said Mr. Trimble. "That was what made him bark and get all excited."

"I'm going to catch a fox in my trap," said Bunny. "I've got a trap set over by our spring. Maybe this is the fox I'm going to catch," he went on.

"I'm afraid not," said Mr. Brown. "This fox is so scared that he'll run for miles. He'll never come back this way again. Well, we haven't found Tom Vine yet; have we?" and he looked at Bunny and Sue.

"No, and you never will find him," said Mr. Trimble. "Boys are no good. Tom ran

192 away from you same as he did from me. But maybe I was a little too harsh with him. I wouldn't lock him up in a dark smoke-house, though. That's no place for a boy."

Bunny and Sue were glad to hear the farmer say that.

"Well, we'd better be getting on to the village," said Mr. Brown. "Come along, children."

"Oh, let's wait for Splash to come back," said Bunny. "I don't want him to be lost."
