[edit] Heya
I emailed you about the image on Astroland :-) Good to see you here and good to see such a high quality article from a new user (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight). In fact, I was wondering if we could put this on peer review and then onto featured article candidates? - Ta bu shi da yu 01:35, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, we have some questions about Steve Dalwoski...
- More on what happened after he retired. What little we do know is already in the article, I'd really like to have some more on his life as a migrant worker and how it affected him.
- I'm not actually sure if he's still alive (hopefully he is!) as the last information we have on him has him sick, but active in 2003. So, more on what's going on with him now, he has a family and he still attends ball games. What else does he do with his time? Any recent pictures?
- Are you able to help? Thanks mate. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:59, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Steve Dalkowski
Hello, I'm about to write to Kit Krieger about his post on Steve, can you tell me where this came from? Cheers... Zerbey 00:00, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will. I got the picture but am not sure if it's free for use by Wikipedia. Do you have any idea if this is the case? Zerbey 02:07, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I'm sure it will, thanks for your help! Zerbey 02:31, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nihilartikel
"Some would say" is not exactly a citation. Do you have evidence on this? It's not like Finnegans Wake is short on invented words. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:01, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Given the lack of citation I am going to revert this. Probably a quarter of the words in Finnegans Wake are in some sense nonsense words. In "Three quarks for Muster Mark" I see no more reason to think "quark" is a typo than "Muster". -- Jmabel | Talk 01:13, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
- My credentials in Joycean study aren't recent but they are reasonably good: I took one semester-long single-author college course on Joyce, another on Jocye and Beckett, and was one of the two chief copy editors of Louis Mink's The Finnegans Wake Gazetteer (and a minor contributor to in other ways). Because of the nature of the text, this meant developing about as close a familiarity with the textual details of Finnegans Wake as anyone who is not a Joycean scholar in the narrow sense. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:48, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
- Again, as I remarked at Talk:Nihilartikel, if you can document this, then it belongs in Wikipedia somewhere, though I still don't see the relation to Nihilartikel. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:10, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
