| − | 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:
| + | #REDIRECT [[Editing Conservapedia's Original Source Project]] |
| − | * 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.
