Hiya. Comment was made at enWS that your page ns. isn't working as perfectly as it could be. Is there something needed to assist? The reason that I ask is that someone is transcribing a Czech-english work, and I said that the Czech components should be here. Can you enlighten me?

:The comment was made by me. We discussed a bilingual publication of [[:en:File:A Book of Czech Verse.pdf]] with one page in Czech and the other one containing English translation. If I understood it right, [[User:Billinghurst]] suggested to transcribe the Czech part here in the Page namespace and then transclude it to the English Wikisource main namespace together with the English part. I said two things: 1) Czech Wikisource formatting templates are not compatible with the English WS environment and so pages transcluded from Czech WS page namespace to English WS main namespace do not work properly. 2) The maintenance of the proofreading extension and the Index and Page namespace is not good at Czech Wikisource and a problem often takes too long time until it is solved here and so I do not think it is a good idea if an English Wikisource page should rely on the functionality of Czech Wikisource pages. However, all this contemplation is probably useless, because meanwhile I realized one more (and even more important) problem: Czech Wikisource has different licensing rules and follows Czech copyright laws, and so does not accept works of authors who died later than 70 years ago, while the mentioned publication contains such works. --[[Uživatel:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]] ([[Diskuse s uživatelem:Jan.Kamenicek|diskuse]]) 26. 6. 2020, 14:50 (UTC)
