Welcome, Ande B., to Misplaced Pages!

Enjoy editing here on Misplaced Pages and I hope you will stay! Be sure to post your name on the Misplaced Pages new user log. Below are some useful tutorials and places of interest:

You can sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes: ~~~~; this adds your name and current time to your comments. If you need any more help, come to Bootcamp, add {{helpme}} to your talk page, or contact me on my talk page. Have fun!

Unsigned comments

If someone forgot to sign a message they posted on a talk page, you can do it for them by using the {{unsigned}} template. Simply place the template at the end of the comments, and include the user's name. For example: {{subst:unsigned|MyNameisForgetful}} would look like this:
— Preceding unsigned comment added by MyNameisForgetful (talk • contribs)

Sappho translation & copyright

Hi Ande B., thanks for the comment. It would be fine for Misplaced Pages to use an original translation as long as the copyright holder grants permission for use under the GFDL. If I do the translation, I'm the copyright holder, and I would grant permission. See WP:Copyrights for details.

It's also possible that copyrighted translations could be included in the article under the fair use provisions of copyright law, but Misplaced Pages discourages this.

Now, I'm not claiming that my translation would have much poetic quality to it--I tend to generate very clunky-sounding prosy translations. But at least I don't use "thee" and "thy," nor do I use odd rhyme schemes.

Thanks for the copyright policy link. I would like to see better or more literal translation myself. Perhaps you or another capable Wikipedian will supply one. Ande B. 03:30, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Myth

Ande,

Thank you for your polite response to my changes. Myth is a link to a disambiguation page and there is an effort to consolidate links so that they point to direct pages. If you search for myth on Wikipeidia, this page has several derivations. If you feel any of these specific links within "myth" would work better for the pages you reference, please feel free to change them. However, please refrain from linking towards simply myth in line with Disambiguation_pages. Thx. Netkinetic 18:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Glad I was able to assist, thanks much. :) Netkinetic 00:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Bohemian Waxwing

Thanks for adding the description, should have done it myself, but lacked motivation this am, jimfbleak 06:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about a team as such, but if you look at my talk page, you'll see several regular bird articles editors, jimfbleak 18:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

The CIA and September 11 (book)

I hate pestering people's talk pages about AFD votes (or votes at all... it's very bad form really) but I've just done a huge amount of work on this article, and it is probably 80% different from when you voted. I have found a large number of English language references, and I have used <cite> so any reader or editor can identify where each individual statement in the article came from. That ought to deal with WP:V and WP:RS. As for notability, you can make your own decision: the relevant guideline says "Usually, books with an ISBN-number and/or availability in a couple dozen of libraries and/or a Project Gutenberg type website, and with a notability above that of an average cookbook or programmers manual would qualify". Which doesn't help really, since it's entirely subjective how you are going to compare notability of a best-selling paranoid gutter-press fantasy to a cookbook! If you rank this as below an average cookbook, I'm not going to argue with you :) TheGrappler 04:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Cheers! I was about to vote delete myself, but the name rang a bell - then I realised I'd actually seen this book causing a fuss in the press, which was a sign it was probably pretty notable. German language books don't tend to get a huge amount of press coverage unless they have caused a fairly notable row! Of course, once WP's conspiracy theorists smell out this page it will probably degrade in quality pretty soon, but I've tried to make it all cited at the moment, which ought to help it last (at least there'd be something to revert back to, if needs be...)

Please read this

Ande, I greatly appreciate your feedback and help on Biological psychiatry. I agree with your suggestions for improvments. However I'm afraid you've misread the conflict on that article. Please take time to examine these, as it's a classic example of what is damaging Misplaced Pages quality and credibity today. Compare the two below versions, and I think you'll see what's going on. The 2nd version is what Cesar Tort calls NPOV. Joema 13:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Mourning dove picture

You are welcome to move the picture to a new name, or else capture the image and re-upload it to a MourningDoveWithBabies.jpg or similar name, if that is acceptable to you. --Ancheta Wis 00:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Category: Articles with unsourced statements

An article is automatically categorized under Category: Articles with unsourced statements if one or more lines in the article has a "citation need" tag. In this particular case, its the first line under the Laomedon/Tros section --TBC 02:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration on Biological psychiatry

Ande, I asked Cesar Tort and Ombudsman for mediation or arbitration. They didn't respond so regretfully we must proceed. Without mediation, we go straight to arbitration. If you're willing to support this, please read the below. I'll file the request later today, unless you suggest otherwise. Joema 19:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
