Welcome aboard. I see you have already found little problems to fix; I’m sure you could easily find more. Eclecticology 18:24, 30 November 2012 (EST)
Default Sort
I have a suggestion for some of these. When there is an accented word in a title it would be preferable to suppress the accents in the sorting key, particularly when the accents are on the first significant word in a title. Letters with various diacriticals are machine sorted as separate from unaccented letters, usually after the rest of the alphabet. Thanks. Eclecticology 10:49, 24 October 2013 (AKDT)
- Yes, I've noticed that. I'll see if I can spot any more glaring examples. Simon Peter Hughes 06:02, 25 October 2013 (AKDT)

bond, they call me MISTER bond
good guess! but it's actually from 'The Complete Ian Fleming' by penguin-randomhouse .ca, & there several more bond shorts in the collection (beyond the ones you have listed from the 1960 anthology).
when i'm done those, the novels are going to be a pain; because i'm c&p from an .epub (which is too large to upload here), & it only lets me copy 1 "section" (i.e.: chapter) at a time. don't think i'll (re-)do the stuff that is already up @ gutenberg.ca (http://gutenberg.ca/#catalogueF), but that still leaves several novels & many dozen chapters of rather fiddly highlighting for c&p (>__<).
ty for the formatting & prettying it up!

update
completed the ian fleming uploads. everything that was in the book is there; sans markups, a few lines of info from the publisher, & cover art & a few maps (i think from the diamond smugglers story; NON-bond).
managed to convert the epub file; still ended up having to manually c&p each story one-by-one.
it's ugly, but it is done, & the text should be clean.
had to break it up into 8 pages; i discovered that our wiki seems to have an upper size limit per page of about 1,000,000 bytes. you can make a page bigger by doing sections, BUT any edits to the whole page (rather than individual sections) when it is over the max size limit BLANK the page when you "save" it; & it is not recoverable through "undo", unless you revert back to <1 million characters. i learned this the hard way... >__<
feel free to move it around & pretty it up. i am done; took WAY more time than i expected, or could really afford. i'm moving on to hunting up other titles & authors, which is what i do best.

ee smith
hello;
i am rather unhappy that you simply wiped all my work, again.
but fine.
from now on, i will put links to new texts on the pages, you are responsible for sorting them after that. i am not doing anything more there. Lx 121 20:50, 1 February 2017 (PST)
the first thing you need to do is to fix the link to the new ee smith story i uploaded (published in 2 distinct versions; i uploaded both of them); because you erased the links with your revert.
& yes, the story-title is long, but if you read the information about it, before wiping the page, the title is long because the story is 1 chapter in a "round robin" serial novel, written by a number of authors. the combined work is titled "cosmos".
there was also a link to the online source for the "cosmos" serial novel, in the material you deleted.
you should also restore the links to various of the ee smith works available online that were in the material you removed.
since you erased it all, you can fix it. i am certainly not going to!
best,
Lx 121 20:58, 1 February 2017 (PST)
a reminder that you still haven't fixed the links to the 2 new ee smith uploads, that you erased from his page. Lx 121 10:44, 2 February 2017 (PST)
L.I.W.
if you prefer, there is also an html-formatted version
http://gutenberg.ca/ebooks/wilder-woods/wilder-woods-01-h.html
or an illustrated version of same;illustrations are also PD
unfortunately, they've only got the one book finished.
have found a text of L.H.O.T.P., but it's NOT "clean copy".
Lx 121 19:29, 2 February 2017 (PST)
re: complete text of the novels
hey;
based on a quick check (word search), the "teaser/intro" text @ the top of the e.e. smith stories seems to be original material, & not excerpted from the main body of the text.
perhaps we should keep it, if this is the case? (am posting here to discuss, rather than simply restoring it; to avoid "edit warring" about it)
Lx 121 23:23, 9 February 2017 (PST)
- But who wrote it? Can we be certain that it was written by the author and not be someone else who may not have been dead for 50 years/ Simon Peter Hughes 23:31, 9 February 2017 (PST)
- actually, i think that problem solves itself.
- if the "blurb" was not written by the primary author, then it is uncredited & therefore anonymous (& hopelessly so @ this point; no one would reasonably be expected to have precise records on a trivial detail of the publication like that, 50+ years later). which would make it PD 50 years after publication (as per the cdn copyright rules page on here) Lx 121 07:47, 13 February 2017 (PST)
