Hi Matthead, ich habe gesehen, dass du das Template:PGDA erstellt hast. Für die Open Library wurde das Template:OL von einem Benutzer angelegt, der leider nicht mehr aktiv ist. Hast du eine Idee, wie man die Vorlage verbessern kann? Deine gefällt mir wesentlich besser. Gruß --Kolja21 (talk) 03:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

PS: Da die OL-Vorlage (zu?) vielseitig ist, habe ich jetzt - analog zur dt. Misplaced Pages - eine getrennte Vorlage für Autoren (Template:OL author) erstellt. Hintergrund: In der neuen Version der Open Library wird es möglich sein, auch Werke (einschließlich aller Ausgaben) zu verlinken. Gruß --Kolja21 (talk) 00:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas

Thank you for creating an article about this important encyclopedia.

Apparently you did not like my changes.

1. What did you mean by "You can not make a copy&paste move"? I did it, so you must mean that my procedure violated some guideline. What is the preferred way of accomplishing the switch between 2 pages? This is a question about procedure, not about whether or not a switch between 2 pages is the right thing to do.

2. The article Universal Cyclopædia & Atlas includes material about Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. The two works are unrelated. Do you object to removing the irrelevant material about the latter work?

3. Why do you not want Universal Cyclopædia & Atlas redirected to Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas? The latter is the title printed on the actual work, and I don't see why saving 2 characters by replacing "and" with "&" would be your preference.

4. Is there an online edition of the "1902 edition" that "is now in the public domain"? I would be grateful if you could provide a link.

I found some websites where "Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas" was confused with Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. I suspect the date 1902 comes from the work on American biography, since "Universal Cyclopædia and Atlas" editions are 1900, 1901, 1903, and 1905.

I found "JOHNSON'S UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA" (1898) at: http://www.archive.org/stream/johnsonsunivers01pubgoog/johnsonsunivers01pubgoog_djvu.txt

I am not seeking a battle, I just want to understand your reasons for undoing my changes.

I'll watch this page for your response.

Well, please see Help:Moving a page for the guideline. It is explained there why copying/pasting is not the proper thing to do. As for the content, I can't remember details, so please fix it. -- Matthead  Discuß   01:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply. I shall read the guideline and fix the details. Xophist (talk) 04:18, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

You know what Matthead? I'm going to do nothing and leave the inaccuracies on your page. The guideline is the biggest load of bureaucratic bullshit I've seen in a long time. Guess I'm not cut out for this type of picayune nonsense. Thanks anyway. Xophist (talk) 04:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
