[edit] lowercase name

I recognize and respect the fact that the person who this article describes has chosen to write her name in all lowercase letters. However, it is my opinion that in sentences where her name is the first word (and perhaps in the article title, making the technical restrictions notice unnecessary), the first letter should be capitalized, exactly in the same way as any other generally-lowercase word. I would be curious if this is following a precedent (perhaps started by e. e. cummings) and hear some more opinions on this before I boldly change it, since someone obviously feels strongly about it. --Cromwellt|Talk 08:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] That'd Be Me

I was surprised to find this page about me, so i edited a little bit. I use lower case i and lower case name (cat / catherine yronwode) but i do capitalize the first word in a sentence. Some folks who like me think i insist on all refs to my name must be in all lower case, but that is not so. Cat yronwode is my name and my name is cat yronwode -- first letter of the sentence is capped. Anyay, it's no biggie to me. What i would really like is a redirect page from Catherine_Yronwode, as more than 3/4s of my published writing appears under that name. Catherineyronwode 08:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Done (and I added a Notable Wikipedian template).--Cúchullain ^t/c 01:12, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arrived in Style

hi! I made it into the system and have even set about editing stuff (right here!!!) much love to you oh darling dear! bo-bo 18:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sacramento? Uh-uh.

Someone has added some very strange MISinforation to this page.Cat was not raised in Sacramento. Someone is either very confused, or is having fun doing the wiki-fantasy-biography thing. See the Cat Yronwode autbiography page for confirmation that she never lived in Sacramento. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.142.90.32 (talk • contribs) .

I believe I put that in there during my massive revamp. If it's incorrect, it was probably my confusion; there is a reference to spending time with her biological father, who lived in Sacramento. That doesn't seem significant enough to mention. I appreciate your work on the article, althoguh I'm unsure whether straight chronological order is always the best for an article. My organization leaned toward topical. In any case, please assume good faith. --Dhartung | Talk 08:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correa case

I took out these comments, one I made:

I believe, will need to verify if Eclipse was co-defendant

Eclipse was not involved; Correa was an employee of Friendly Frank's (owned by Frank Mangiaracini)\

My question, which was not answered by the sources available, was whether yronwode was an expert witness because of her knowledge of the comics industry, or whether an Eclipse product was in any way a party to the case. I made an assumption that it was the former, but someone with better documentation could correct that if necessary. --Dhartung | Talk 08:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "I knew deadline doom when I saw it..."

Cat joined the ranks of Stan Lee and Jeanette Kahn (EIC's who have appeared in their own comics) in the eighth issue of Eclipse's run of Miracleman, explaining why the ongoing MM storyline was being delayed and pointing out that she considers the two biggest sins to be "being dishonest and underestimating the public" (and revealed herself as a longtime fan of Doctor Strange).

LOL. Thanks for noticing that! cat 23:56, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Over-Zealous Cite-Tagging

When i saw the article tonight, i realized that an editor had put a cite-tag on a sentence that was already cited. He asked for a cite that i had written books for Kitchen Sink Press after 1981, even though a book i wrote in 1989 for Kitchen Sink was already listed in the Bibliography section and thus proved the sentence to be verified as true.

[edit] Time for a Nagasiva article?

He's attracted media attention for serving as a "suicide guru," giving instructions to people intent on killing themselves.

Seems to get a rush out of it. Quite a piece of work if you ask me. Or am I unfairly maligning him for his minority religious beliefs? (namely, Satanism) 210.60.55.9 (talk) 09:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd recommend adding this information to Church of Euthanasia and then seeing if it gains critical mass making it worth splitting off. As you say this is going to be controversial (as he crops up when there is an Internet suicide scare, as there is no and there was in 2003 when he also made the news[1]), so it'd be worth taking things slowly.
