The '''Conservapedia’s Original Source Project''' is an initiative by [[user:AnthonyPvanDuyn]] to preserve, structure, and present public‑domain primary texts in a clear, accessible, and SEO‑aligned format. Its purpose is to:
* provide easy public access to PD works
* provide easy copy and pastable materials
* provide easy original source references through [[Internal Links]]
* strengthen [[Conservapedia|Conservapedia’s]] [[authority signals]]
* and strengthen [[Conservapedia|Conservapedia’s]] [[trust signals]]
All done by simply hosting historically significant public domain works in a consistent, scholarly, and navigable manner.
This project provides editors with naming standards, formatting rules, and category requirements to ensure that all Original Source (OS) pages remain uniform, discoverable, and easy to maintain.
==Purpose==
The Original Source Project exists to:
* preserve public‑domain historical, theological, and scholarly works,
* provide readers with reliable access to primary texts,
* support commentary pages with authoritative source material,
* strengthen Conservapedia’s domain authority through structured internal linking,
* and create a unified cluster of primary documents for research and study.
==Naming Standard==
All OS pages must follow the official naming convention:
'''Original Source: Professional Title First Last - Work Title, Chapter'''
This format provides:
* clear disambiguation between authors,
* strong SEO signals through predictable structure,
* intuitive navigation for readers,
* and a namespace‑like identity for primary texts.
Examples:
* ''Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1'' which allows for a [[internal link]] such as:
:* [[Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton – Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1#Paragraph 5]] to take the user directly to the quote,
:* while a still being able to be displayed in a simplified form [[Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton – Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1#Paragraph 5|"...was preserved by the Samaritans..."]]
Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1#Paragraph 6
* ''Original Source: Bishop Thomas Newton - Dissertations on the Prophecies, Chapter 3''
* ''Original Source: St. Jerome - Commentary on Daniel, Chapter 7''
* ''Original Source: Josephus the Historian - Wars of the Jews, Book 2''
==Formatting Requirements==
All OS pages must:
* begin with the “Original Source:” header using the naming standard,
* include the work title in italics within the first heading,
* present the text in clearly separated paragraphs or blockquotes,
* include paragraph markers (e.g., <p1>, <p2>, <p3>) to harmonize with standard referencing systems and improve internal linking,
* include a Public Domain Declaration at the bottom of the page,
* and end with the required category block.
==Mandatory Categories==
All OS works must include the category:
* [[Category:Conservapedia’s Original Source Project]]
This identifies the page as part of the curated project.
All OS works should also include:
* [[Category:Original Sources]]
* [[Category:Public Domain Works]]
Additional categories (author, subject, era) may be added as appropriate.
==Public Domain Declaration==
All OS pages must include a Public Domain Declaration at the bottom of the page. This ensures legal clarity and maintains consistency across the project.
==Relationship to Commentary Pages==
Commentary pages (such as [[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid]]) may link directly to OS pages to strengthen:
* authority signals,
* trust signals,
* and reader comprehension.
This project supports Conservapedia’s broader SEO initiatives by providing authoritative source material for commentary and analysis.
