hello and thanks for your section, which is excellently narrated as well. :thumbs: It was a pleasure to listen to your voice and the text was rendered word-perfect. :) I think you were recording a bit too loud maybe, because there has been some clipping off, I would suggest setting the microphone to a bit lower input range. But it didn't distort the sound, so all is well this time.

However there is one bit that you need to correct, it only needs a re-recording of the intro disclaimer. The rest of the text is perfect and does not have to be touched. Simply re-record the intro and paste it into the correct slot:

> for the intro disclaimer, could you please use the "full disclaimer" ? (this is mentioned in the Magic Window for your section - the short intro is only for very small sections). So please, say all the following:
“Section 12 of The World War.

Recording by atelo
The World’s Story Volume XV: The World War, edited by Horatio W. Dresser.
Section 12: The second German mobilization (1914), by Geoffrey Pyke"


> at the end we leave a standard of 5 seconds of silence - you have over 7 seconds, could you please cut out two seconds ?

then simply reupload with the exact same filename, then the old file will get replaced with the new

Thank you, great start, hopefully more to come

Hello, attached is section 27; a modern battlefield.

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory15_27_dresser_128kb.mp3 time:1:42

The text is actually on pg 187 followed with the photo on pg. 188, and not on the page the mw states, pg 148. Perhaps that will make it go by more quickly for you to edit this file. ;)

what a waste of human life :( those tables are chilling.

Section 91 is already PL ok.

A few small corrections for Section 88 though:

> at 5:12: (p. 508) "is not more than 45 per 1000 per annum" - you inserted the word "percent" here, which can be cut out

> at 12:00: (p. 512) "on page 511"- this can be cut, since you so expertly narrated the tables :thumb: then we don't need to include page numbers for people to look at

thank you ! Not an easy section to read (88) but still easier than last book :lol:

excellent editing :thumbs: thank you so much

There is only one tiny slip in there still in the title of the book:

> at 0:15: "the World's Story" - you say "history". Only that one word to correct and reupload then we are definitely good to go

thanks

oh yes it depends what page number you are looking at. The actual page in the book is 148, this is what I used. For some reason the archive scroll-over is using far bigger page numbers for the pictures, I have no idea why :lol:

Only one small omission in the title to be added:

> at 0:11: could you please insert "photograph page 148" here after the title ? Just read the title exactly as I put it in the MW (I did that to make it easy for the readers).

thanks, the rest was perfect. A chilling picture :?

I guess the way every population feels about a "take-over" :?

Another perfect section, Alan, thank you, again PL ok

and here is the first of my own sections, a very uplifting moment in Russian history.

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory15_86_dresser_128kb.mp3
Recording time: 2:10 min.

A few years ago I walked along Nevsky Prospect, a beautiful boulevard. I can only imagine what it must have looked like back in the days of the shooting of civilians :(

If you have time to PL, Jim, I'd be happy, but there is no hurry, of course

Thanks

Yes, sad business following an image of hope and reconciliation. You are, of course, PL OK. Jim :thumbs:
