Arthur_N._Wollaston_-_English-Persian_Dictionary_1882.djvu
Hi, I see that you're the original uploader of the 1882 Persian-English dictionary on Wikimedia Commons. Google Books has replaced the version you uploaded (from the Bodleian Library) with a different scan which has a few pages missing or damaged :-(:

I am trying to make a highly-accurate electronic copy of this excellent book, and the copy you uploaded is one of the two sources I have to go by. Unfortunately, the version you uploaded has the Google watermarks embedded directly in the images. So I'm wondering if you have preserved the original PDF version which you downloaded from Google Books, and if you'd be able to email it to me or upload it to Commons. Thanks a ton!!

 * I still have the original PDF. I will upload it asap, but I'm not sure if its possible to upload a pdf to commons. Thats why I converted it to djvu in the first place. But I will try anyway. regards --helohe (talk)  21:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I've written a program to remove the watermarks losslessly, and to preserve the original resolution, so I'd love to see it.  You can email it to me if you prefer... dlenski@gmail.com Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 00:01, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks a ton! I'm working on making a highest-possible-quality version by combining the good pages from this version as well as the one that's currently on Google Books. Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 05:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
