[edit] Amazon/copyright?
Hi John, As I mention on the Python talk page, I was really only looking at the grammar of your Wiki link to Pilgrim's book. But the little kerfuffle piqued my interest, and I found your actual entry via your user page (under /temp). So two things:
- You originally wrote the review for Amazon, right? Are you sure Amazon doesn't assert copyright on reviews posted there? Sounds sleazy to do so, but I seem to remember something along those lines. If so, just writing it might not be enough to release it to WP.
- If you feel like writing a WP entry on my book (also linked to in the references), I'd be more than happy to tell the publisher to send you a reviewer copy. Like Mark's book, mine is free-as-in-beer in the electronic version, but available for money on paper. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 12:51, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
[edit] Emma Goldmann
Thank you for for trapping my oversight and drawing it to my attention. The fault was entirely mine. I did check the wikisource page, but my attention must have wandered.—Theo (Talk) 1 July 2005 10:41 (UTC)
- Theo, thanks for the reply - you'll inspire me to do better with my conversation with others here! John Elder 2 July 2005 09:35 (UTC)
[edit] Dive Into Python
Hi, I edited the page you created, I hope you don't mind. Wow your profile is crazy how can you have so much energy to do so much! Looks like you're pretty active. I personally like Art Bell and his show but I know it's all crazy nonsense that's still fun to listen too. Anyways, I like Python too.(Bjorn Tipling 06:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Eisenach-Coat of Arms.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 18:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
