[edit] Marfan Syndrome Article Graffiti Attacks

I have reviewed the history of changes on the Marfan Syndrome article over the past few weeks and have noticed an occasional graffito is written into the article. The vandals perpetrating these attacks usually do it without logging in, thus leaving no contributor trace. I recommend that whenever any of the responsibly acting contributors log in to do some more editing, first look at the most recent edit. If it is an anonymous edit, just revert the article to the previous edit before doing more edits. Leeirons 13:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about Darkover edits

I am curious about your edits to the links on the List of Darkover books where you appended "(MZB)" to the links. Is this a Wikipedia standard for disambiguation of common book titles? If so, how or why did you decide to use "(MZB)" on a couple of titles but not any of the others?

I just wanted to avoid linking unrelated items to the book titles and I didn't want to remove the links altogether (if someone puts them in again the problem is still there). Usually for disambiguation a description in parentheses is used, so I improvised. But I really haven't looked it up (yet). jaellee 22:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, on the Darkover series page you moved Hawkmistress! from the "The Ages of Chaos" section to "The Hundred Kingdoms." I agree with the rational for moving the story but am concerned that this means the story organization does not match what DAW uses in their “A Reader’s Guide to Darkover” that’s at the front of some Darkover books and also fan sites such as http://www.darkover.com/new/darkover/guide/books/novels.darkover-time.en.html.

In a sense you are doing “original research” by coming up with your own organization of the stories – even though it may be a better organization than what the publisher has. Would it work for you to have Hawkmistress! under "The Ages of Chaos" and to have it with a note “(parts of this story overlap with Zandru's Forge and so it could be read as part of Darkover's "Hundred Kingdoms" era.)”?.

ps: more reading - http://web.archive.org/web/20040717023334/www.darkover.com/darkover/history/chrono.uk.html says "In the foreword of Hawkmistress!, Marion says that this novel takes place during the hundred kingdoms period, between Stormqueen ! and Two to conquer. This part of Darkover history is therefore quite unclear." So yes, there's a good case for moving the story but I suspect rather than moving it to add notes such as explaining “There is an author's note at the beginning of Hawkmistress! that states:

Although Hawkmistress!, like most of the Darkover novels, is complete in itself, requiring no knowledge of the other books in the series, those who follow the chronicles of Darkover may wish to know that it comes during the time of the Hundred Kingdoms, between Stormqueen and Two to Conquer. –M.Z.B.

This would give a citable reference for why someone could move the story or read it as part of the Hundred Kingdoms. Marc Kupper (talk) (contribs) 08:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I seemed strange to me to move a book in one era, if it clearly belongs to an other one. In any case the listing in the Darkover series article and the description in the Hawkmistress! article should match. jaellee 22:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
