Hello!

I am new to Wikisource and I am trying to add my first text. I have uploaded the file but am having some trouble with the <Pagelist /> function. I have tried looking at various resources but I can't understand what I am doing wrong.

For your reference, this is the text I need to add a Pagelist to: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Remarks_on_a_Tour_to_North_and_South_Wales_In_the_Year_1797.djvu

(Here is also the Internet Archive File for the text)

https://archive.org/details/remarksonatourt00wigsgoog/page/n125/mode/2up

The pagelist I have made looks like this:

<pagelist 1to2="Cover" 4to8="—" 9="Img" 10="Title" 11="—" 12="Title" 13="—" 14to16=roman 14=5 17="—" 18="Errata" 19="—" 20=1 24="—" 25="Img" 30="—" 31="Img" 36="—" 37="Img" 42="Img" 43="—" 50="—" 51="Img" 54="Img" 55="—" 60="Img" 61="—" 64="—" 65="Img" 68="Img" 69="—" 74="—" 75="Img" 82="Img" 83="—" 86="Img" 87="—" 90="Img" 91="—" 94="Img" 95="—" 100="Img" 101="—" 106="Img" 107="—" 110="Img" 111="—" 112="—" 113="Img" 118="Img" 119="—" 120="—" 121="Img" 123to125="—" 126to130="Cover" />

When I try to preview the pagelist it gives the following error:

The following error was encountered while parsing the pagelist tag in the backend, Error: Invalid interval

And on the page of the index (Index:Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales In the Year 1797.djvu) it shows the same error under the "Pages" header:

Error: Invalid interval

If anyone could help me with this I would be so grateful. I am so excited to start proofreading!

Read A Simplified Grammar of the Swedish Language on the English Wikisource

A Simplified Grammar of the Swedish Language (1902) is a short introduction to that language by the Anglo-Danish linguist Elise Charlotte Otté, who wrote several grammars and histories of the Scandinavian peoples.

The Swedish language belongs to a northern offshoot of the Old Germanic, which in course of time gave origin to two slightly differing forms of speech, known to Scandinavian grammarians as Forn-Svenskan, the Old Swedish, and Forn-Norskan, the Old Norse. The former of these was spoken by the Svear and Götar, or ancient Swedes and Goths; while the latter, as the name implies, was the language of the Norsemen, and probably identical with the Norræna, or Dönsk Tunga, of the Northmen who first made themselves known to the nations of Christian Europe.

We have evidence that these two main branches of the Old Northern never deviated sufficiently from each other to interfere with their comprehension by all the Scandinavian peoples, although each possessed certain inherent and persistent characters peculiar to itself, of which traces may still be found in the modern forms of cultivated speech, which we distinguish as Swedish, and Dano-Norwegian. These distinctive survivals of the original twin forms of the Old Northern have been best preserved in the provincial dialects of the northern kingdoms, and considerable light has been thrown on the history of the development of the Swedish language by a study of the various forms of the so-called "bondespråk," or peasant-speech, which still maintain their ground in different parts of Sweden.

Read Oriental Scenery on the English Wikisource.

Oriental Scenery (1816) is an illustrated book by two painters, Thomas Daniell and his nephew William Daniell, who spent seven years together in India painting and writing accounts of their journey. On their return to England, the two set about publishing an extensive collection of these watercolour paintings under the general heading title of Oriental Scenery. A set of six volumes, published between 1795 and 1808, were based on drawings made in India by the Daniells themselves; another consisted of plates of the caves at Ellora after drawings by James Wales. There are 144 plates in total. The collection has been called "The finest illustrated work ever published on India."

Read Megalithic Monuments in Spain and Portugal on Wikisource, the free online library.

Jean-François-Albert du Pouget, born July 1818, was a French anthropologist and palæontologist. His special interest in cave drawings involved him in the exploration of the caves of southern France, and exploration of the earliest peoples to dwell in Europe. His article describing the megalithic monuments of the Iberian peninsula was published in Popular Science Monthly, volume 31.

Read Orphée aux Enfers on Wikisource, the free online library.

Orphée aux Enfers is a libretto by Hector Crémieux and Ludovic Halévy for the first full-length opera by Jacques Offenbach. The opera parodies the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. It was first performed on 21 October 1858, and a revival in 1874 broke previous records at the [Gaîté's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_de_la_Ga%C3%AEt%C3%A9_(rue_Papin\)) box-office. The music of the "Galop Infernal" from the final scene was adopted to accompany the vigorous can-can by the music halls of Paris. Orphée aux Enfers remains the most often produced of Offenbach's operas.

Read Una and the Lion on Wikisource, the free online library.

Una and the Lion is a commemoration by Florence Nightingale of the life of Agnes Elizabeth Jones, who was the first trained nursing superintendent of the Liverpool Workhouse infirmary. The work's title is a reference to the character of Una, in The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser. Jones began her training as a nurse in 1862 at Nightingale's nursing school, and went on to become an advocate for the plight of the sick and the poor. She died of typhus fever in 1868.

Finnegans Wake is no longer copyrighted in Europe but still is in the US.

It’s not on Wikisource though.

Is that because the English Wikisource is bound to US copyright or something?

Is there any way around that like a British English Wikisource or something?

Thank you very much

I would like to practice translating some texts.

Is offering translations of the texts Wikisource hosts part of the mission or not?

I mean, if you host the original Dickens, that’s great, but someone might also want to study the text in their native language.

Is there any other wiki site where I could contribute translations of texts?

Thank you

Does anyone know how to download an entire book from wikisource?

I know that at the right there is the option for "download as epub", but if the book has several hyperlinks for each chapter, it will only download the page you are seeing as a book. So, in order to download the entire book you would have to download each chapter as a book. my question is if there is a way to download all the chapters as one book.

it happens with some books though that while you are seeing the first page with all the hyperlinks to the chapters, and download it as epub, it downloads every chapter, without having to click on each one individually, but they are rare cases

for example in this case it downloads all the book: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lost_Island

but not in this case: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Organon_(Owen)

thanks
