From Wikisource
The help pages provide documentation, instructions, and information related to Wikisource, divided into the sections below. If you are new to wiki projects, the sheer amount of information may be daunting. Help:Introduction introduces users to Wikisource, and explains how to explore, edit, use features, and add new texts. |
Wikisource is a growing collection of primary-source English texts in any language, as well as translations of source texts. All texts appearing in this, the English Wikisource, must be in the English language. If they are in another language, they can be added to one of our other Wikisource projects. Most of the texts on Wikisource are in the public domain and not protected by any copyright or license. However, some are copyrighted and available under the GNU Free Documentation License.
