[edit] I spy a llama!
Hope you're well :) Feel free to leave me a note if you have any questions. Whether I'll be able to answer them or not is another story! hugs, -- phoebe 05:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] comics
there's a comic book author who writes about the history of science who is also a librarian?!? why didn't I know about this earlier? --phoebe 06:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jim Ottaviani
Ken, This article is superb. Really. It's wonderfully written, well referenced, in proper style (!) and about a compelling subject. You should get a first-article award or something :) The only things I did was link some more of the terms (how much to link is sort of a personal preference; not going overboard is good but linking proper nouns is also good); and I took out the awards information from the bibliography and put it in its own section so the bibliography would be a little cleaner; again, this is kind of a personal-preference call and one could go either way. I also changed the 'other links' header to be 'external links', which is standard terminology. The only thing I'd suggest is if you have specific sections you can footnote from some of your other sources, go ahead and do so, since that is really the kind of thing you have to have the original sources in hand to do. And, of course, if the other books have isbns include those; but I figure you know that already & would if they did. All in all though, this is excellent work. Congratulations. Now you, too, have the ultimate time-wasting hobby! (just keep telling yourself you're making the world a better place) :) --phoebe 07:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Patrick Stewart reference
In Patrick Stewart (soldier), the version you mention ([1]) has the inline link, but for some reason I couldn't get it to appear correctly in the "References" section. I wanted just the title to show, not the URL in brackets. That wouldn't work, and I didn't know why, and I lost patience, so I just put the link (appearing correctly) in the "References" section, with no inline link. It's the article by Sean Whaley. The title should make it clear which passage it supports. An inline link would be better, though, if it can be formatted properly.
By the way, I'm pretty sure the symbol does NOT appear on Stewart's tombstone. I think there's a "memorial wall" that has a plaque for each veteran buried in the cemetery. Stewart's space was blank until the recent installation of the plaque with the Wiccan symbol. JamesMLane t c 17:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
