Memory work article accepted?

I understand that the memory work article is no longer on the to-be-deleted list? I have sent the url to Barbara Gabriel whose article I cited. Hopefully she will have some insightful comments. I would like to see this article grow organically with improvements and updates by those who take words seriously.

My first experience at contributing a complete article has taught me that my usual online method of writing my own work on my blog can be very off-putting for vigilant wiki editors who see my garbled unfinished sentences-in-progress as vanadalism. I write and edit using EndNote, a authoring software that allows the user to customize all references ever used over a lifetime of research. It has a powerful key word component that is probably one of the first to use the concept of folksonomy even though it wasn't called that when EndNote first appeared, I think in the early 1990s.

With EndNote I can store exact relevant citations, timelines, references and retrieve them as I write complete with referenced sources. So my writing style tbc--oceanflynn 18:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Memory work Copy vio removed

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Memory work article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 03:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
