Please help with essay summaries edit

I'm writing a brief summary of each essay. If anyone feels like writing a few themselves, that would be most helpful. The full text of The Idler is online at Project Gutenberg (see Links section of article). Perodicticus 16:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wikisource? edit

I'm not sure why this is a candidate for Wikisource. It's not 'merely a copy of the source material'; I wrote the essay summaries and background information myself. It does have quotations from the original essays, but by no means the whole text. Perodicticus 15:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are correct. This is not something Wikisource would host. Since you are interested in the subject, perhaps you would like to add the actual essays to Wikisource. It would be nice to have them linked to this article and you can use wikilinks within the essay to give readers a jump-start on reasearch. If you are interested, you might want to read s:Help:Adding texts. Feel free to ask me anything.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 20:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
