[edit] Revenge play

Great work at Revenge play! Nice to have someone here who knows detectably more about this than I do.

Given the level of detail in your list of plays, I'm guessing that you didn't just write all of this off the top of your head, but I notice you don't cite any sources. I see this is a relatively new account; I don't know if you've even glanced Wikipedia:Cite sources or Wikipedia:Verifiability, but citing sources is important, for all sorts of reasons.

If I can be any help, just drop me a note on my talk page; always very glad to see people here who know their way around literature, we are a bit heavy with tech geeks and political warriors. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aside

I just wanted to compliment you on your wonderful work on the aside article. As a side note, it would be wonderful if you could cite your sources in future work. Good job! Where ^(talk) 03:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adventurer

Nice paragraph, thanks. GRuban 13:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuator

While it's great that you've added some references, I think you need to be more specific about some of the specific claims you made in the text you added (for example, that Virgil "intended to legitimate [sic] and elevate the Roman Empire") by providing specific citations from those works. Thanks. | Klaw ¡digame! 00:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• That's a good start. I formatted the endnotes per Wikipedia:Footnotes, so you may want to check that out for future reference. | Klaw ¡digame! 04:54, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You've got a barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For your great contributions to Ben Jonson, which also happens to be the Featured Article on the Poetry portal this month. Great work!

You're doing a fine job--just remember to sign with four of these: ~~~~. Best of luck, AdamBiswanger1 16:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! — Prodigenous Zee - 23:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Course evaluation pipes

Hi Jlittlet,

Why all these pipes [1] for Course evaluation? It's not a proper noun, so it shouldn't be capitalized. Changing the name in a See also list, e.g., [2] seems counterproductive as well. Rfrisbie^talk 21:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

You wrote...

Hello, I am not sure I am doing this right; please bear with me. I am not sure what a "pipe" is, but if it's the link divided by |, then my reasoning was this: I was merging "Course evaluations" with "Course evaluation," and when I corrected the links to "Course evaluations," I used the | to preserve the appearance of the page. I apologize if this is not the correct way; I am new to merging. Jlittlet 21:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, piped links are those verticle lines that let you change how a link is displayed!

Sorry for assuming you made the original caps changes and the renaming pipes. In most cases, links are best displayed in their "unpiped" form. Go ahead and reply here, if you want, to keep the conversation in one place. Rfrisbie^talk 21:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the tip. I will fix those links and try to avoid piped links in the future...although I am somewhat addicted to them, sadly. Jlittlet 22:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I use them a lot too. The piped links page (piped above

) has some good tips. Rfrisbie^talk 22:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fascism and ideology

In your recent edit at Fascism and ideology, you claimed to have "fixed" a link but you merely removed it. I've restored. - Jmabel | Talk 03:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piped_link: "Do not use piped links to create "easter egg links", that require the reader to follow them before understanding what's going on." I wrote that I "fixed" the link because I removed such an "easter egg" link. I should note also that you didn't "restore" the link, but rather updated it to reflect the merger of "Fascism (epithet)" and "Fascist (epithet)". Jlittlet 03:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

So do you think I should have restored the link that simply redirects to the same place? That seems odd.

I don't think it is too Easter Eggy, but if you really think so, then there would be two ways to fix it: '[[fascist (epithet)|fascism is often used as a term of abuse]]' or 'fascism is often used as a term of abuse (''see [[fascist (epithet)]]'')'. I would not object to either of those edits, though I find them a bit heavyhanded. - Jmabel | Talk 03:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merges

Hello Jlittlet. I noticed you complete lots of unopposed merges, after one of them made it to my watchlist (Animal language). Is there some way without too much effort for you how you could put *what* the merge is with in your edit summaries? It took me a bit of hunting in your contributions to find that it was with Animal language acquisition. Eminently sensible, but only ALA was tagged merge not AL so it took some digging. Thanks. Martinp 18:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge: Human rights in Indonesia

Similar to the comment above, there does not appear to be any info on what articles were merged. Could you please list which article the new text came from (and thus was presumably removed). thanks --Merbabu 02:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for catching the additional vandalism on Brown v. Board of Education -- I missed it when I reverted, guess I didn't revert back far enough. -- ArglebargleIV 14:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refectory

I've restored the page. One of the core ideas of WP:PROD is that it only takes a single objection to defeat a PROD at any point, before or even after the deletion. You've objected, and I've restored the page. - TexasAndroid 12:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Hi, the following is copied from my user page, as looking in the history you did a lot of work on the historic Fortune Theatre. I recently split the modern and historic theatres. It appears to have attracted some attention.

On 21 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fortune Playhouse, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--ALoan (Talk) 00:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice article! I've been tweaking the refs and was wondering if you could specify which volume was used from Bentley? I strongly suspect it's vol. 6 (Theaters), but I'd like confirmation. Page numbers would rock my socks, but I won't be pushing it ;-) Circeus 01:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I only split the article; previously the modern and historic playhouses were confounded on the one page. I was trying to create a nav-box for London theatres, and most were in an appalling state, and I tried to correct some glaring anomalies as I went along. This was one of them, so the article is not my progeny. Like yourself, I have tweaked, and am aware that more tweaking is required. One is chasing down the refs, and putting more in-line from multiple sources. The e-theatre group (link on Fortune Playhouse talk page) specialise in the area; although I did some work on The Theatre, The Curtain and The Red Lion (playhouse); I can't claim to be an expert. (I would bet that User talk:Jlittlet would be a good place to start (from Fortune Theatre history). HTH. Kbthompson 01:47, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fortune Playhouse

Actually, adding them to the bottom reference is probably sufficient. Circeus 17:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Random query ... Wimpole Street (near the Park = Regent's Park). I used to work in Wimpole Street, and it's behind Oxford Street, to the w. of Oxford Circus. The bottom of Tottenham Court Road (half mile to the east) was St Giles, a notorious rookery (slum) (and also the location of a brewery, which burst and drowned many of the inhabitants!), not the place for 'nice young gal', even one of independent spirit. She writes to To H.S. Boyd - Monday, September 19, 1843, about the "dog-banditti" - He dashed up the stairs into my room and into my arms, where I hugged him and kissed him, black as he was--black as if imbued in a distillation of St. Giles's. [3] - but says they hunted the bandits into the City ... That's all I can find, except the ransom paid was 6.5 guineas ... some information seems to be conflated with the tale Flush wagged by Virginia Woolf, not one of her best, but a best seller.

Now that's all the time I want to spend in a fluffie-wuffie 18th century, for now. My normal haunt is doan-east, where the murders is dun. HTH Kbthompson 18:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
