Article Transcription -- Spring 2016

[RJP43]

@nlottig94 also referring to issues #17 and #15 may be helpful but if they seem confusing don't worry I can explain things better once we are together. Also I forgot to mention use <p> tags to separate every paragraph if Nelson purposely begins a new paragraph even if for just one sentence it gets a new set of <p> tags. Hopefully this wasn't too much to scare you away ... lol !

[nlottig94]

@RJP43 So I have a piece of damaged paper here, but it almost looks like it was intentionally whited out...What attribute should I use for something like that?

[RJP43]

Could you use the snipping tool on your computer and paste an image of what you mean here in a comment? Can you make out any part of the word to figure out what is being said? And have you looked at the Barkley publication to see if the word is there? Call me if ya want.

[nlottig94]

Okay...I figured it out...apparently I was zoomed in too far! It has been one of those days so far! Sorry!

[RJP43]

Oh okay lol

[nlottig94]

Sorry! I didn't know that was possible!

[RJP43]

Me either lol

[RJP43]

Hey also did you determine an xml:id for yourself yet and I will need a bio from you to add to the website... you can add that here if you like or we can do it together tomorrow night.

[nlottig94]

I have just been using #nll and I think I'll just wait for tomorrow night!! If that's okay!

[RJP43]

That works :)

[nlottig94]

Okay! One more thing, if she is quoting a sign, should I still wrap it in a <said> tag? Because it is in quotes.

[RJP43]

No put it in its own set of <p> tags and add a comment either before or after noting it is a sign. Also remind me to show you tomorrow night how we handle brief interruptions (like she said or he proclaimed) that come up in the middle of quoted text.

[nlottig94]

Okay. Sounds good!

[nlottig94]

Okay, so the first part of the article (up to the headline of STARVATION WAGES.) is in Barkley Section 6. The next part of the article starts on section 7.

[nlottig94]

@brookestewart Here is the information you need to transcribe and code the article. I'll link what article in a couple minutes!

[nlottig94]

@brookestewart First, clone this repository. Then navigate to this article. This is the article from 08-10-1888 that also be found at the NYU site here. Refer to the corresponding Barkley section 13 for reference when the text is hard to read. Otherwise use the links above (article template, code book, and finished article) to get started. Also, if you have names of people use the <persName> tag. If you have any questions, just add a comment with the date and your initials within the xml! Good luck!

[brookestewart]

Just making a note that it's actually Barkley section 15. I was so confused for awhile!

[nlottig94]

Whoops!! Sorry!!! I don't know what we were thinking! Sorry!!

[RJP43]

Yea actually I think it is an error in the site index. Thanks for catching that!

[RJP43]

Or actually I had made the mistake of looking at the wrong site index entry ... which by the way here is the site index and this is your ( @brookestewart ) article's site index entry
<bibl xml:id="CT012"> <title level="a">"City Slave Girls" <date when="1888-08-10"/></title> <title level="s">Chicago Times</title> <author>Nell Nelson</author> <editor>Chapin, Charles</editor> <edition>Newspaper Print</edition> <extent>21-part series: Front-page placement</extent> <publisher>Chicago Times</publisher> <pubPlace>Chicago</pubPlace> <date>1888</date> <publisher>New York University Digital Library Technology Services (DLTS)</publisher> <availability> <p> <ref target="http://dlib.nyu.edu/undercover/city-slave-girls-nell-nelson-chicago-times-aka-white-slave-girls-new-york-world">www.dlib.nyu.edu</ref> </p> </availability> <note/> </bibl>

[brookestewart]

Thanks guys! @RJP43 @nlottig94

[brookestewart]

Are the $ okay to leave in the text? I wasn't sure if it was a reserved character.

[RJP43]

Yes they are fine

[RJP43]

And thank you!

[brookestewart]

I'm almost done transcribing! I only did some basic coding because I wasn't sure what all was included.

[brookestewart]

I'm pushing it to Github now! You may want to double check the TEI header and the tagging that I've done to make sure it's correct.

[brookestewart]

Okay, just kidding. It says I don't have permission to push to this repository.

[ebeshero]

Hi Brooke--I bet that Becca hasn't added you as a collaborator (yet)--but I wonder if this is a good opportunity to try issuing a contribution with a pull request?

Dr. B, rushing about in prep for class...

Wow great fast work! I will add you as a collaborator now and you can push... sorry about that!

[RJP43]

Oooo yea great idea ... yes go ahead and try your hand at a pull request.

[RJP43]

You may have to fork the repo first. Report back or if it stumps you the let me know and I can add you as a collaborator.

[brookestewart]

Okay! I actually have to get ready and leave for class right now, but I'll try the pull request or forking when I get back home.

[brookestewart]

It seems I can't issue a pull request without forking the repository. I clicked fork and found my way to the forked repository, but I can't issue a request there either.

[RJP43]

Ok now that you have forked the repo using the online version and once you are on your online forked repo you then have to clone that "new repo" to your local machine ... then on the desktop client add the file to the CT XML folder, commit, and sync. Then there should be the option to do a pull request. Thanks for experimenting with this! This kind of trial and error is what @ebeshero was talking about when she said we would have the returning students testing on the other functions of GitHub :)

[RJP43]

If you feel extra ambitious you can add a branch within your fork (from the Desktop Client), add the file through your branch to the forked repo, sync the branch to the fork and then try for the pull request.

[RJP43]

Please note for us here any special aspects or difficulties you see while doing this. THANKS again :)

[brookestewart]

For reference: so far, I was able to clone the "new repo" to my local machine. However, it is still saying that I don't have permission to make any changes when I attempt to "publish" (sync). I had tried to sync my filed with the original repo first, and it said I didn't have permission. On my local machine, it looks as though my commit went through to the original, but it doesn't show up on the online version and doesn't allow me to erase it, and it still gives me the permission error when I try to sync, even without committing. I'm not sure if this is the reason it won't let me sync with the "new repo" or something else. I can't do anything with the pull requests either.

[nlottig94]

@RJP43 We, @ebeshero and I are trying the forking and branching.....are we doing this the right way?????

[nlottig94]

Help @RJP43 !!!!

[RJP43]

I am wondering should we have <place> for the general descriptions of where things are that aren't an exact address and have <placeName> only for full addresses. Ugh, today's class has me questioning our markup, again! Damn, @spadafour @nlottig94 @brookestewart.

@nlottig94 Transcription of Article CSG 1888-08-12

[RJP43]

Thanks @brookestewart and @nlottig94 for the help transcribing early in the semester. Unfortunately there is a lot to review for article 8-10; therefore, it along with article 8-8 from last semester will sit outside of the data we mine this semester. However, we were able to update and review article 8-12 and we added it to the data for mining. Thanks again!
