Talk:Khazars in fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am the creator of several of the items on the original list at Khazaria.com, so I am at least partial copyright holder. I have spoken with the owner of that site, Kevin Brook, and he has authorized its use. He will be on here shortly to confirm. --Briangotts 03:08, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I am the webmaster of Khazaria.com. The list of Khazars in fiction is indeed copied from one of my pages, however that page is not copyrighted and is a collaborative effort (for research and promotional purposes) with the words written by myself as well as Eli Eshed, Brian Gottesman, Thomas Harlan, and the publisher of S.J. Revich's book. I give permission to use all that information either as is or (preferably) rewritten. -- Kevin A. Brook (KAB)

[edit] Koestler?

Any specific reason, why Arthur Koestler is not listed? His book is clearly a work of fiction, so it should be here. Comments? --Johannes Rohr 20:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Arthur Koestler wrote The Thirteenth Tribe as a work of non-fiction. However flawed it is (and those flaws are discussed at (Khazars), it is not clearly a work of fiction; quite the contrary, as Koestler wanted to be taken seriously as a historical researcher.

[edit] Wikify tag

My apologies. On a previous edit I had placed a "context" tag in error. What i had intended to apply was a "wikify" tag. In particular, I am concerned about the opening sentences, as discussed in the Guide to Layout. I'd attend to it myself, but know so little about the subject. Again, apologies.Victoriagirl 17:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
