About Wikisource

Wikisource
is a
Wikimedia

library of
primary source
texts, and
translations of source texts in any language. You can help this site by making a donation to
the
Wikimedia Foundation
You can join this project right now, by submitting new texts, by helping us proofread
books, or by scanning and uploading books we do not have. If you haven't done so

This site (wikisource.org) hosts texts in
other languages
for which the community does not wish to request a subdomain, or is not large
enough to maintain one.
Community

Communication
Most of the communication between Wikisource users takes place on the language subdomains.
Here are a few channels that are used to reach users across subdomains :
The local
Scriptorium
(mostly for issues about this wiki)
IRC Chat
: channels #wikisource and #wikisource-de on irc.freenode.net
We have a
Mailing list
. Bureaucrats should subscribe to it.

Submitting a text
edit
If you want to add new material to Wikisource, please make sure that it is acceptable for our project.
Text should be either in the public domain, or published under a free licence.
See
what is Wikisource
and
Copyright Policy
for more details.
You must identify the language in which the text is written.
If a language subdomain exists for that language, the text
has to be added there. If your language does not have a
subdomain, and if you plan to add text on a regular basis,
you are encouraged to request one
here
Note that some subdomains
forbid
pre-1923 works still copyrighted in their home countries
due to local concerns even when they are in the public domain in the USA where this site is hosted. This multilingual domain will provisionally host these works and eventually move them into the subdomains when locally acceptable.
Wikimedia projects are based on the
MediaWiki Software
There are help pages on
how to edit a page
and a
Guide to layout
Proofreading books
edit
Wikisource provides a web-based interface for proofreading digitized text.
As of April 2009, we have proofread more than 160,000 pages.
See the
proofreading statistics
for more details.
More than 3600 books are currently being proofread, and this number is growing every day.
Anyone can help proofreading a digitized book, or start digitizing a new book.
If you want to help, checkout the list of projects in your language.
