This collection of articles by and about Mark Twain and his family was compiled by Barbara Schmidt, publisher of twainquotes.com. Included in Part Three of this chronological listing (1890-1899) are some of Twain’s short stories, speeches and letters, as they appeared in the New York Times in that decade. Of particular interest, at this time, is the legal challenge concerning the dramatic adaptation of "The Prince and the Pauper". The original microfiche articles are available at the New York Times' “TimesMachine” website: https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/browser/. ( John Greenman and Barbara Schmidt)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): wordperfect
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Section [number] of Mark Twain in the New York Times - Part Three (1890-1899) . This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
Say: "Mark Twain in the New York Times - Part Three - Section (number) (date) (title). Read by John Greenman"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Section[number] of Mark Twain in the New York Times - Part Three (1890-1899). This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain read by John Greenman."
say: "(date) (title)"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Section] (Date) (Title)"
If you wish, say: "Read by John Greenman"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of [Section] (Date) (Title) and end of Mark Twain in the New York Times - Part Three (1890-1899) read by John Greenman."
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename [solo]marktwaininthenewyorktimes3_##_twain_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. [solo]marktwaininthenewyorktimes3_01_twain_128kb.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
Part Three will start being put together once Part Two is published.
If you have any interest in MC'ing or PL'ing this project please let me know.
I will provide the proof listener with the Microfiche articles which can always be doublechecked at the twainquotes.com compilation.
A complete zip file of the articles will be sent to the MC for archive.org linking.
There are 51 articles in Part Three.
"Morality" is doing what's right regardless of what you're told!
"Obedience" is doing what is told, regardless of what is right!
