I keep the sources for your Wikipedia project in Library, which is part of my WikiNative Studio toolkit. Library gives you a place to open the articles and documents collected for your project, read the available source text and revisit the evidence behind your proposed Wikipedia page. You can use that material to check a detail, recommend an addition or discuss a passage with me in Draft or Cartograph.
Open your card deck by clicking the WikiNative logo at the top left of Studio, then choose Library. It sits beside Library builder and takes you straight to the saved sources in your private project. The material you add through Library builder appears in the same collection, ready for you to return to as the article develops.
Open a source and start reading
Find the item you want to read in your saved sources. Its title and publication details help you identify it. Where an original publication link is available, follow it to read the source on the publisher’s website. Where a file has been saved, choose Open file to open or download the supplied document.
You can also choose Read saved text when a text copy is available. This lets you read the material kept with the source record. Check whether the item contains the full article or an extract, so you know how much of the publication you are looking at. A saved PDF can be useful for checking page numbers, captions or the surrounding text.
Try opening and reading sources in the working Library demo below. Choose Open file to download the example document, then choose Read saved text to read its text in Studio’s source reader. Open another item to see how its publication details and available reading options differ. The demo uses example material, with the same reading controls and styling as Studio.
Use a passage to suggest a change
Suppose your proposed article gives the year an organisation was founded, but you remember that date as the opening of a particular office. Open the source in Library and read the relevant passage. You can then return to Draft, select the sentence and explain the distinction in a comment or suggest replacement wording.
Include the source’s title and the relevant page or passage in your comment. That gives me a clear route to the evidence you want me to consider. If your recommendation affects several sections, use Discussion to explain the broader change. For an existing Wikipedia article, you can bring the same evidence into your review of the proposed changes in Cartograph.
You can use Library to investigate an omission too. A source may contain useful information that has not yet appeared in the article. Point me to the passage and explain what you would like to add. I will read the evidence and consider the wording and its place in the article.
Check the details behind a source
Open an item’s details to see the information recorded about it, including any useful passages or notes supplied with the source. Where a saved-text reading page is available, it also shows the citation values and whether their verification has been recorded. You can use that page and the source’s preparation history to check the details supplied with it. The review state helps you see whether an item is still being prepared, has been submitted to me or has had its details checked.
If you notice a missing author, an incorrect date or an incomplete copy, raise it with me and identify the source concerned. Your familiarity with the material can help resolve a gap. I still check what the publication supports before deciding how to use it in the article.
Return to your collection as the article develops
You can revisit the saved material as the wording changes. A source remains in Library even if a paragraph moves or a reference number changes, so you can return to it when a new question arises.
To recommend another article or add a source copy, open Library builder. Then return to Library to read the material you have saved. Library keeps the evidence available while you work with me on the proposed page or review changes to an existing one.
