[edit] Re: Advice regarding citations

Hello there, sorry for the delay. Regarding your question about citations, if the mail and emails are public (in example, they can be checked in a site, book, magazine or another printed media), then you can cite them with the {{cite book}} or {{cite email}} templates. However, if those mails and letters are not public (in example, they were sent to you personally), then they can not be used, as that would be considered original research. I do not know how Wikisource works, but it might be possible to include that information as added value if you release the letters under a free license, and then point your references to Wikisource. Again, I am not sure if this is "legal", or if such letters can be included. Remember that editors need to prove the validity of their contributions, so unsourced statements can be deleted at will. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 20:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Return to Neveryon

I feel enough wikification has been done that the tag is no longer needed.Geni 10:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Delany tagging

Thanks for the head's up :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 17:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Personally I would keep the seperate articles. However the content of the article may need to change so that their focus shift towards the particular individual novel or the series as a whole in hte case of that article. If there is overlap that can be placed in the series article and refered to in the individual articles. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Invite to join Novels WikiProject

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres.
As you have shown an interest in Samuel R. Delany we thought you might like to take an interest in this well established WikiProject.
We look forward to welcoming you to the project! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 17:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oops!

Missed Nova (novel) and Return to Nevèrÿon as well - thanks for the heads up! And to think that was in user oversight mode - not automated. <sigh>. As for the non-LGBT content, I've read about half a dozen of Delany, but certainly not all. I semi-assumed (knowing I was wrong) that most of his works had LGBT content. If you run across some of his books that don't have LGBT content, would you remove the tag? Thanks again for your help! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change to Samuel R. Delany page was not vandalism. (Reply)

"Stratum" is the singular for "strata". The wording was correct and was not vandalism, therefore the threat of banning was not appropriate. Just thought you should know. --Kdring 00:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for catching my mistake! I hope to be more careful from now on (with reverting and warning). Again thanks! Cheers, S.D. ¿п? § 01:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Triton

I placed the 'fact' tag not for a reassurance of the subtitle of The Dispossessed (I have a copy too - in fact, by odd coincidence, I happen to be reading it right now) but rather for the statement that Delany intended Triton to be a response to Le Guin's novel. It's the sort of thing that makes a lot of sense and I'll bet it is true, but it sure would be nice to have a source to back that up. -- Antepenultimate 03:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool, and thanks for caring! IMO, anytime a statement begins with "So-and-so said..." (in this case, "Delany has said...") and ends without a source, a 'fact' tag is gonna rear its ugly head. Anytime someone can get rid of one, it's a big improvement. Thanks again -- Antepenultimate 03:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
