Welcome to Wkipedia. I liked the section you added to Dune. However, if you have a source for the information that would make your addition much better. sections that arn't sourced have a tendancy to be delieted, and I want that story to stay. if you need any help let me know, I look forward to your future editsCoffeepusher (talk) 19:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the "To Tame a Land" thing and others have been added and deleted to Dune articles many times because no one has yet cited a source for the info. Also, I believe some editors have challenged its notability. Please try ot address both issues if you want to assure the paragraph stays in. And by the way, I will say that yours is probably the best-written of the versions I've seen. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 22:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dune

Howdy! Well I looked at your source, and it gives the source as an interview given in germany. I can't seem to find the actuall transcript of the interview (which would be ideal), but I am not into music that much, so you may have better luck (know the places to find transcripts). currently if you write it like..."in an interview at (such and such) (this random famous guy whos name excapes me) said the basis for the song..." and then cite the source at the end (using the referance tabs), it will have a much better chance of standing up. like TAnthony said, some people think it isn't notable enough for this article, so you may have to discuss it on the discussion board. Thank you for the followup, I look forward to seeing your future edits.Coffeepusher (talk) 19:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Good job with that one. TAnthony didn't like the extended quote at the end (and I agree it made it messy, but adding it didn't hurt at all) but the citation really cemented that peice of information...i see you found the actuall interview, awsome. Have fun on wikipedia, and if you need any help, be shure to let me know.Coffeepusher (talk) 19:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I just added a hotlink to the title of this section...just so anyone who reads it can click and go right to the right section.Coffeepusher (talk) 00:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
