[edit] Glad you are back!

This can be a rough place, here at Wikipedia! Glad you are back. Sincerely, --Mattisse 02:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two boxes

Your article looks very good, but why are you using two boxes on my page? Please don't. I removed one I thought. Why not make a box on your page and use that?

I have too many boxes and it is mixing me up. I have to clean up my pages because I can't find anything any more. That is the reason I am asking you this. I have to fix up all my pages as they are much too confusing!

My talk page looks awful, I agree. My life must be changed!

Sincerely, Mattisse 15:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks so much for your message.

Of course I will help you out in any way I can. I looked at the article briefly (didn't have time for detail at the present) but it looks good.

I love your user page. It is beautiful and open as your are. Your sincere friend, --Mattisse 18:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify

What wikify means specifically is mainly to put in links. You should put a link for the first use of every significant word or phrase that has an article., like death, Just the first, just the significant. Go do it, and I'll check. Second, it means writing the lead sentence & using subheadings the way they are used in WP, with the subject of the article in the first few words in bold & the subheadings as short as possible. I've started on that. The refs need some additional work: each book needs an ISBN--get from Worldcat or Amazon. The Journal names should go as links if there is a WP article, otherwise in bold, try to put a link to electronic versions even if you cant actually get to read the whole article. I'll check.

More important, though, is that the article is still written more like an essay than an encyclopedia article--the writing should be more compact, without general introductory or transition statements, and unnecessary sentences and words. I'll do a little to show you--it's easier to see by example. The usual phrase is "omit needless words". Try to think of it not as an essay based on sources, but as a report on what the sources say. This is different from school.

There are also some grammar problems-- check that you're using the right preposition--this is one of the trickier aspects of English. DGG 18:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No, not at all!

I apologize to you. That is not it at all. I have just been very busy and caught up in what I am doing. The Yahoo group invitation was confusing as I have never been in any group, Yahoo or otherwise, so I am not sure how that works. But I am always very happy to hear from you. Always! Sincerely, --Mattisse 17:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I do like your website. Now that I think of it, you asked me for my credentials. Is that what you are referring to? I think I would want to know where they were going to be, as I don't want any connect with Wikipedia and the real me. I will remember to check my email more often -- I forget about it and forget to do things people ask. I am sorry. I will check my email again. Sincerely, --Mattisse 17:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry!

Sorry about not working on your introduction. In fact, I do not even know where it is. I got so embroiled in wikipedia events. Do you still need it worked on? I can get the copy from my email (did you not email me a copy?) and seriously work on it now. I am so sorry. Sincerely, --Mattisse 17:56, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

So it is in Mattisse/2? I wonder how to find it. I will look around. If you are still here now, to something to Mattisse/2 so I will see where it is by my watchlist! --Mattisse 18:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I didn't know that! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattisse (talk • contribs) 18:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC) --Mattisse 18:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Urgent reply

Yes, I will try to write an article on Wikipedia that includes your book.

Yes, I can check the sentence structures of your book for any gross mistakes. (I have to admit though, the reason that I did not work on Mattisse/2 is that I did not understand it.) But regarding your book, I can try to check sentence structure without changing your meaning. Where is your book? Sincerely, --Mattisse 14:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

O.K. Thanks! --Mattisse 17:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes. I just did. In terms of the layout, I do not know how the book publisher wants it. I can go through the text and correct it. Do you want me to email it back to you? How much time do I have? --Mattisse 17:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More reply

Look in User:Mattisse/other2. I also sent you an email. --Mattisse 20:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

O.K. I have to do it on Wikipedia in User:Mattisse/other2 as I do not have a text editor on my computer except Notepad.exe. Also, I don't understand everything you are saying. I'll do my best. --Mattisse 23:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I think I got it all but I am not sure. I lost my place in the text. Let me know. Mattisse 23:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I will help you any way in the future. (This has been a stressful week for me.) Thanks for being tolerant! Mattisse 17:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

--Mattisse 13:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Just read your question. (I'm having trouble with my internet connection so if I suddenly can't answer, that is why!) I don't understand you question on my talk page. It is your article. Maybe you could clarify. Mattisse 13:53, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I am thinking about what to write.

  • Do you want a few sentences about my general feelings regarding what you are saying? (I don't think I could do much more because I don't quite understand all of it.)
  • Do you want me to proof the section that are going in the book in what you have written above? --Mattisse 17:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Words

This is a book written by a deeply compassionate man who is seeking to understand the human concept of death and its effects on the life we are living now. His words provoke deep meditation about painful issues that we would rather avoid - our own death and the deaths of those around us. Because the author is so startlingly honest in communicating his own journey, the book is also soothing because there is truth to what he is saying as well as a sense of hope.

Mattisse 22:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I have the book now

[edit] wikipedia article concept of death and adjustment

The aim of my edits was mainly to tinker with grammar etc. Also the article is/was a bit long in my humble opinion. So feel free to alter any bits where you think I have misunderstood your argument, while still trying to keep it concise.

Wikipedia is mainly concerned with whether ideas have been discussed by people independent of the originator. Could you possibly link me to comments about your theories online in journals, written by other professions, so I can read them, or let me know where I can find them? Or could you link me to or tell me the name of other people's journals in which your ideas have been published, so I can find them? This is the best source of your articles I can find so far [1] which is great, but we really need to see the versions which are in peer-reviewed journals to be really useful for wikipedia, rather than self-published.

This article could be great but it mainly centres on Christianity and Islam at the moment. It would be great if it could discuss other cultures/main religions, or maybe just include Judaism too so it covered all the religions of the Book, the monotheistic religions. special, random, Merkinsmum 12:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] review in death studies

Thanks, has this review been published yet? Please could you tell me which issue it was in, I can't seem to find it mentioned here [2] which lists what's in each issue.special, random, Merkinsmum 14:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] materials/articles

These are great but the ones on ezine are not peer-reviewed. The Iowa ones are the best for your reputation as you know, and the best to mention on wiki. You and your colleagues really would benefit in getting more of the articles about your theories in professional journals- I'm sure if you submitted them, they might be accepted, as the quality of the work/writing seems good. special, random, Merkinsmum 15:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry!

I have been off-wiki. I am hoping that my courage to edit articles will return soon. Now wiki seems like a fearful place. Sincerely, –Mattisse (Talk) 16:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
