Simon Says...

We have been running a forum on suggestions for changes in the Proofreading Guidelines since 2008. Several times, I've gone in and made updates, recording changes with a date in brackets. But the forum has just "rolled on" with no further annotation, and unlike the Formatting suggestions forum, it has not been frozen and re-started.

So now I'll deal with that. Down below is my summary of the accumulated changes suggested in the forum, with similar items combined, duplications eliminated, and a (very) few rejected (but only with a reason). All items in the list show the corresponding section number from the FAQ Guidelines. This time, I'm going to mark the changed items in the FAQ Guideline with a colour (brown), and eliminate the dates showing the older changes. All changes to the wiki articles are documented in an elaborate system of change listings, anyway, though it's only visible to Wiki Moderators. After the brown changes have been posted for 3 months, I'll change the colour to normal text colours.

I'll also apply a version number to the Guidelines, and use that for future references to them.

At the same time as this article appears, I'll make a final post to the forum, duplicating the summary changes, and get Iona to lock the forum, and start a new one entitled "new suggestions for Proofreading Guideline changes--2011".

In six months time [February], it's my intention to do the same thing with the Formatting Guidelines, then alternate back and forth every year thereafter.

__________

Summary of Suggested Proofreaders Guidelines Changes:

Note that the current version of the Proofreading Guidelines are the version of November 2009, henceforth referred to as version 2.0 The revised version that will be created after comments are dealt with will be referred to as version 3.0 of August 2011.

1. section 7.5.5 Footnotes/Endnotes--if a footnote/endnote continues past the end of the page, do nothing special. End the first page just as if it were ordinary body text, with an asterisk if the last word is hyphenated. Begin the "continued footnote/endnote" on the next page as if it were normal body text, with an asterisk and hyphen if needed.

2. section 7.2.5 Period Pause--Ellipsis--when an ellipsis is followed immediately by punctuation (most often an exclamation or question mark), leave a space if there is one in the scan. If there is (also) an extra long space before the start of the next sentence (a 2en space), use only a normal space, to avoid confusing the PPing software.

Note: some books apparently use a "half-space" or en-space between the dots in ellipses. Space them normally. Books very seldom mix these two styles of spacing.

3. section 7.3.3 Greek characters (new section)--The actual Greek characters must be entered into the proofed text, at the latest in the P3 round. P2 proofers should note that, though they won't be docked in P3 qualification for attempting to insert Greek and making errors, they will be docked for simply using [**Greek: ] and deleting the OCR material. Because we have to produce both an HTML version and a text version, we need both the Greek characters and a transliteration. Use the normal Greek transliteration tool in the Proofing interface, and insert the Greek characters from the drop-down menus, or from an alternative keyboard map. Ask for help in the project forum if you're not sure how to proceed.

Exception: If a substantial part of the text is Greek, (enough that Greek is listed as a language for the project), then only the accented Greek characters are needed and no transliteration should be included.

4. I took a look at the section on fractions, and decided that it was correct, and there was no need to expand it, or add examples. It seemed clear to me.

5. section 9--added section 9.1, changed old section to 9.2--new section reads "Proofers notes should be enclosed within square brackets with 2 asterisks to draw the PPer's attention, as in [**note--content of note]. Proofers should not change typos in the text file, but make a note, like [**typo--"test" should be "text"]. Short notes should be left right next to the material referenced. While ideally notes are placed next to the referenced text, long notes that could disguise the original format of the text can be moved to a separate line, as long as it's clear what they refer to.

6. section 7.5.11--Illustrations that contain significant amounts of text--the contained text should be proofed, for the benefit of those with different abilities. The PPer will make the ultimate decision whether to use this material. Of course, captions should always be proofed. Use judgement--the letters identifying parts of a diagram do not need to be proofed. If there are a large number of illos in a project, the PM may wish to consider including extra, more specific instructions on the Project Comments page.

7. SMALL-CAPPED words--decided to leave the Guidelines as is--just proof the content of the text, without regard to case. The formatters will finalize the appearance.

Note that words that are in full-sized ALL CAPS should be left that way.

8. I have adopted the proposed Drama guidelines, just as the Drama Team has recommended:


Plays: Actor Names/Stage Directions

In dialogue, treat a change in speaker as a new paragraph, with one blank line between speakers.

Stage directions are reproduced as they are in the original text. If the stage direction is on a line by itself, proofread it that way; if it is at the end of a line of dialogue, leave it there. When closing up a hyphenated word leaves a formerly right-justified stage direction on its own line, leave it there--do not move it up to the end of the previous line; do not put a blank line before it.

Stage directions often begin with an opening bracket and omit the closing bracket. This convention is retained; do not close the brackets.

Sometimes, especially in metrical plays, a word is split due to page-size constraints and placed above or below following a ( rather than having a line of its own. Please treat this as a normal end-of-line reattachment.

__________

Please let me have any comments, suggestions for change, or additions as soon as possible--I'd like to make the changes, including the colours, etc. within 2 weeks.

Cheers

Simon


Special Requests

Calling all P2 and P3 Proofers

Please help! The F1 queue is almost empty. Our F1 foofers have been very busy "beavers".... They've filled up the F2 queue, but F1 needs more projects, please.

Attention all CPers (current and potential) and PMs

We again have a dearth of non-fiction books. Even if you don't want to do the CPing or PMing yourself, if you know of some potential non-fiction books that are in Canada's PD, please leave a post in the Providing Content forum. DAvid says that the non-fiction books are being "proofed within days of being posted" so proofers definitely want them.

If you are interested in CPing, but have never done so, you can check out Simon's article in the newsletter.

The P1: Waiting queue sometimes looks larger than it actually is. Besides any BEGIN projects, there are also a couple of multi-part projects that only go in one at a time as well as several books by the same author--i.e., single part/book must go through P1 before the next one is released.

Any available or potential PPers?

Currently there are about 110 projects in the queue. Simple Simon is very good about picking up projects to PPV in order to keep that queue as short as possible ... But we can't post anything if there is nothing to PPV....

Lots of choices depending on what you like:

  • easy, average, hard;
  • lots of history, lots of biography, fiction, humour (or is that "humor" :wink:), folklore, periodicals, science, juvenile, various reference material and other genres;
  • most are in English, but there are also four in Portuguese, three in French, one in German, one English with French and one in Spanish (at the time of writing);
  • the regular projects range in size from about 12 pages to over 800 while the BEGIN projects range from 5 to 15 pages--very easy if you want to try your hand at PPing;
  • a number of them have illustrations.

There are also a number that have been sitting in the PP pool for almost two years--including German and Portuguese projects. Any takers?

We're always looking for new PPers. If you are interested, drop by any of the PPing-related forums or send a PM to Simple Simon:

For those people who are interested in learning how to PP, generally the BEGIN projects are an ideal way to do it. The projects are very short and have few if any illustrations or other formatting requirements. Since the projects are short and simple, re-doing them is very easy. There are also other EASY projects which, though longer, would be good for beginners.

If you are interested, please send a PM to Simon and he'll advise you how to get started.

Please remember, there are several experienced PPers who will give some direction if asked. Lostpaces has offered to mentor new PPers so you are not alone. Check out her forum discussion thread: Would like to PP? Check here. Or send her a PM.


New eBooks Posted to PG Canada

Here's this issue's installment for DPC books posted to PG Canada in the last two weeks. The books are listed alphabetically by author, then title; short story titles (if any) are underlined. This listing covers July 15 to July 29:

  • Everybody Was Very Nice a short story from the book Thirteen O'Clock: Stories of Several Worlds (1937) by Stephen Vincent Benét (1898-1943)
  • The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada (Volume 1 of 2) (1747 [expanded second edition]; 1727 [original edition]) by Cadwaller Colden (1688-1776)
  • The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada (Volume 2 of 2) (1747 [expanded second edition]; 1727 [original edition]) by Cadwaller Colden (1688-1776)
  • Der wunderliche Spielmann [The Wonderful Musician / Le Merveilleux Ménétrier] a short story from the book Kinder und Hausmärchen gesammelt durch die Brüder Grimm (1857) by Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786-1859)
  • Not This August (1955) by Cyril M. Kornbluth (1924-1958)
  • The Frightened Wife and Other Murder Stories (1953) by Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958)


Editorial

Calling all CPers and PMs--There are less than 20 projects in the P1: Waiting queue. ... Please help!! ... More projects are needed now. Non-fiction if you have them, but we need more of all types including LOTE if you have them available.

* * * * *

Attention Volunteers!--Ha, ha,... yes, I know we're ALL volunteers here. Specifically, Simon is looking for PPers for the Graham's Magazine periodical. It's a relatively simple periodical with occasional illustrations. There are already several issues posted that can be used as models so it's just a matter of taking over PPing the project. He's also looking for CPs/PMs to handle the prep and/or project management. If you are interested in either process, please send a PM to Simple Simon.

* * * * *

Faulty links to Guidelines--Some go to the correct pages; some, unfortunately, do not. You will notice a short jump via the old php Proofreading Guidelines page. Simon HAS highlighted (i.e., bolded) the connecting link to the Formatting Guidelines on the Proofreading Guidelines wikipage so that you can get to the correct page.

If you wish, you can always set up bookmarks in your browser's "Favorites" for the correct Guidelines and the main FAQ page:

* * * * *

Attention Drama enthusiasts--The "Drama Training" people are taking the summer off; but they will be back in the fall. However, Tizz continues to CP and PM regular drama titles so all is not lost if you need a regular "drama" fix.

* * * * *

Display site--As an FYI, Simon has done a number of articles discussing his ideas for the Display Site. They can be found at:

Simon welcomes your input, too. So if you've any ideas, either send him an email or post to the discussion forum that is noted below.

Do please provide Simon with any suggestions or ideas that you have. He's provided an email link (starlink @ rogers.com) so that you can send him comments that you don't want to write in a forum post. Any and ALL ideas, comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are welcome. I'm sure that there are lots more ideas out there.


ÜberProject #1: Chronicles of Canada

To see the current status of the volumes, check out the ÜberProject wiki page for The Chronicles of Canada here: http://www.pgdpcanada.net/wiki/index.php/The_Chronicles_of_Canada

  • De2164 and IonaV are prepping the rest of the volumes. Sufficient PMs have volunteered to handle all remaining volumes--we just need PPers, but the volumes can be picked up from the PP pool when they have completed the rounds unless there is a volume that a PPer really wants to do--in that case let the PM know sooner rather than later.
  • We have borrowed "mint condition" copies of the full set and so will be able to get good scans of all the maps and illustrations as well as picking up missing pages (if any). Thank you to hugger1935 for the use of the books.
  • P1: Waiting: 0; proofing/formatting rounds: 0; available for or in post-processing or PPVing: 12; waiting for posting: 2; posted to Project Gutenberg: 11 There are several in New Project being prepared for the P1: Waiting queue with one or two yet to be prepped.
  • PP standards have been set and the books do not have anything extremely difficult at all. Check the Chronicles wiki page for the PP standards. Some of the standards for PPing have been updated.
  • Volumes 13, 17 and 24 are being done at DP-Int since the authors of these volumes are out of DPC's copyright purview. They will be posted to PG-Int in due time.. Volumes, 13, 17 and 24 are now in PP. Vol. 17 is now eligible for posting to PGC as the author died in 1960; the other author (Vol. 13 & 24) died in 1970 so we still have a few years to wait for those books to be eligible for PGC.
  • Eleven volumes have been posted to PGC and/or PG-International:
    • Volume 1: The Dawn of Canadian History, A Chronicle of Aboriginal Canada,
    • Volume 2: The Mariner of St Malo: A Chronicle of the Voyages of Jacques Cartier,
    • Volume 3: The Founder of New France, A Chronicle of Champlain,
    • Volume 5: The Seigneurs of old Canada: A Chronicle of New World Feudalism,
    • Volume 8: The Great Fortress: A Chronicle of Louisbourg 1720-1760,
    • Volume 11: The Winning of Canada, A Chronicle of Wolfe,
    • Volume 12: The Father of British Canada, A Chronicle of Carleton,
    • Volume 18: The 'Adventures of England on Hudson Bay', A Chronicle of the Fur Trade in the North,
    • Volume 20: Adventurers of the Far North, A Chronicle of the Arctic Seas,
    • Volume 27: The Winning of Popular Government: A Chronicle of the Union of 1841, and
    • Volume 29: The Day of Sir John MacDonald, A Chronicle of the Early Years of the Dominion.


ÜberProject #2: Jesuit Relations

Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France; 1610-1791

Vol. 65: Lower Canada, Mississippi Valley, 1696-1702, is in post processing; though Simple Simon says that it has been a long, slow process. Smooth Reading is done ... now Simon gets to finalize the text version (readable) and he'll also be working on the HTML readable and both scholarly versions as well. The scholarly versions will be UTF-8 friendly so that we can include ALL the strange characters and abbreviations from the original Jesuit diaries.

This volume has taken longer to PP as precedents and procedures for the PPing of this project needed to be set up. If you've done any work on any of the volumes either here or at DP-Int, you'll know that they are not simple.

Vol. 66: Illinois, Louisiana, Iroquois, Lower Canada, 1702-1712, is in post processing.

Vol. 67: Lower Canada, Abenakis, Louisiana; 1716- 1727 is in post processing.

Vol. 68: Lower Canada, Crees, Louisiana; 1720-1736 is in post processing.

Vol. 69: All Missions; 1710-1756 is now in post processing.

A set of standards has been determined and added to the Project Comments. An ÜberProject wiki page for Jesuit Relations has been created. It includes the basic instructions for proofing and formatting.


ÜberProject #3: Governor General's Award Books

Warmheart has created an ÜberProject page for this uberproject. The page looks very good and has lots of links. You can see the details of what she has completed to date here: http://www.pgdpcanada.net/wiki/index.php/Governor_General%27s_Literary_Awards Check it out, you might find something interesting there....

There are only a couple of books that are available since many of the authors are still alive--ah, well, we'll get them eventually.

We have another GG Awards book: Little Man (1942) by George Herbert Sallans (1895-1960). It's currently in P2: Available.


ÜberProject #4: Periodicals

Graham's Magazine

Simon is looking for PPers for this periodical. It's a relatively simple one with occasional illustrations. There are already several issues posted that can be used as models so it's just a matter of taking over PPing the project. He's also looking for CPs/PMs to handle the prep and/or project management. If you are interested in either process, please send a PM to Simple Simon.

A wikipage has been created: http://www.pgdpcanada.net/wiki/index.php/The_Maple_Leaf

"Old Periodicals" Criteria

Remember, these aren't the only periodicals that we can do--there are lots of others out there and some that are quite unique. Is there one that you'd like to do? Suggestions for favourite OLD periodicals are always welcome, but they must meet 3 criteria:

  1. published earlier than 1865 to avoid the need for copyright checking
  2. good quality scans of a reasonable number of issues (preferably in whole volumes of 6-months or a year)
  3. interesting content, out of the ordinary, Canadiana, ...


ÜberProject #5: Works by Charles Dickens

Simple Simon and IonaV are Dickens fans. We know that there are many more out there. Although there are some of Dickens' works on the other PG sites, some of it is text only. We've got early editions of those books with illustrations as well as stories that have not yet been posted. As well, there are letters and essays and ...

More details and an ÜberProject wiki page to come.


ÜberProject #6: John Graves Simcoe

John Graves Simcoe, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, and military leader of Canada, and one of the true Canadian "Fathers of Confederation". This is NOT dull history either.

Projects about or by Simcoe in P1: Waiting: 0; proofing/formatting rounds: 0; post-processing: 3. Three have been posted to PGC.


ÜberProject #7: Gilbert (George) Murray

Gilbert Murray lived from 1866-1957. He was quite a prolific writer with some 90 odd titles to his name with 32 of them being translations of Greek dramas.

Status of these projects--post processing: 8; proofing/formatting rounds: 2; P1: Waiting: 0; in prep: 0; Posted to Project Gutenberg: 15.

Miscia has created a wikipage which will be a work in progress ... naturally: Gilbert Murray. Miscia has recently revised the wikipage to include other works by Mr. Murray that are either currently going through or have completed the rounds at DPC. </span>


ÜberProject #8: Art Latcham Magic Collection

This new ÜberProject has been launched--see the update for more details.

Status of these projects--The first of these has now been posted to Project Gutenberg.

However, this project is on the back burner until Simon can acquire a high speed scanner as he is the only one who can prep the books.

For more information see the comments in the Simon Says... article in the March 26, 2010 issue.


We Grow Every Day

We are now up to 1,158 members. Welcome to all new members; I hope you find some projects that you will enjoy doing. Many of our members are also members of DP-Int/US and/or DP Europe--we welcome them and thank them for all their continued support and interest in DPC. (Numbers are accurate up to "press" time.)

Milestones

We are going to use this space to "celebrate" notable milestones achieved by a member, team, group or project. For example, we'll report when a member completes 5,000 pages in any one round; then we'll let you know when they've done 10,000 pages and so on.

The "team" numbers are the cumulative totals for each round for each member while they are members of a particular team. So that's why, the team pages go up whenever a team member's totals increase. Another reason to join a team or two....

And how many pages have been done in each of the rounds? Naturally, F2 will be at the bottom since they are the last round that gets the projects before PPing and P1 will be on top since they get to start all the projects. <grin> Another consideration is that P3 or F2 stats may be slightly smaller if the PM/PPer has skipped his/her/their project through either one or both of those rounds. So let's see where each round was at the end of June:

  • P1 completed over 234,000 pages
  • P2 completed over 221,000 pages
  • P3 completed over 195,000 pages
  • F1 completed over 195,000 pages
  • F2 completed over 184,000 pages

Great work, people!!!


Proofing & Formatting Stats

ALL rounds have met and exceeded their July page targets. Great work proofers and foofers!!!

We have just over 2 days to go. Do you think that any of the rounds will reach 200%? That's a total of 7,440 pages....

Books In Process And/or Posted To PG Canada or PG-International

At press time, we had 612 Gold Star books posted to PGC or PG-Int. Fantastic work, everyone!!

There are currently 156 Bronze Star projects which are undergoing proofreading or formatting with another 15 waiting in the queue (not including the BEGIN projects). There are 533 Silver Star projects in the various post processing stages with 235 being post-processed and 113 waiting for PPers; the balance consists of those that have completed post processing and are awaiting posting at PG or are parts of projects that have been or will be merged which is why the Silver Star numbers are extremely variable. For more details about the posted and/or active projects, please see the listings on the DPC Welcome page.


User Team Talk

Have you checked out our user teams? To check out the teams or to join one go to: User Teams. The Team threads are located under Proofing Team Talk. Is there a team that you'd like to see? You can create a team from the link on the User Teams page--you might be surprised by who shows up to join you.

We have 29 teams; more are always welcome.


Possible Future Articles

This is YOUR newsletter: yes, there are forum posts and user team posts, but is there something that you want to tell the whole DPC community? You are allowed to brag here. You can also be anonymous if you choose ... we won't tell.

  • Tips or Hints: for those people who do/did a lot of proofing and/or formatting on DP-Int/US &/or DP-Eur, do you have any tips or "rules" that you follow to help yourself while you proof or format? Even a re-wording of a guideline that helps you remember how to do something specific.
  • Tell us why you joined DPC.
  • Quotable Quotes: have you seen a thought-provoking quote that is relevant to the DP Community while you were doing your proofing that you just had to pass on?...
  • The most interesting, outrageous, or strangest line you proofed: before it was proofed (if that was the outrageous or strange part) and what it was after proofing (please do not submit obscene language, it will not be published).
  • New projects: PMs is there a series of books or books by a very prolific author that you'd like to do?--let us know so that we can help pass the word to the proofers so they'll be there to jump in and work on them.
