[edit] Citations needed

Items without attribution:

References which might be used if specific citations are found:

Rather than leave so many tags on details in the article, I have moved three items one item here to invite Wikipedia:Attribution-compliant references in addition to the author's website. — Athænara ✉ 07:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

In re strikeout text: I found that Successful in their own right: People from Paisley, Scotland supports these two. Soon, when I have time, I'll copyedit them and add them back with specific references as provided in the Paisley source. — Æ. ✉ 03:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scottish Opera

Dear Contributors,

There's another musical project with Scottish Opera in which I've been involved recently. It's called '5:15'. I tried to import a link t here but was unable to. This is the link address: http://www.scottishopera.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=165&Itemid=211

It might be relevant for my wikipedia entry. As such, it might come in the section beneath plays, as : Opera Librettos:

'The Queens of Govan'

(with Nigel Osborne and Wajahat Khan, for Scottish Opera, 2008)

Also, one of my novels, 'Psychoraag' has been translated and published in French by Editions Metailie: http://www.editions-metailie.com

I hope it's okay for me to suggest this kind of thing - I think it'd be helpful for users of the site and it's also, I think, in the spirit of Wikipedia for it to be an active site. Hope you agree.

Thanks for bringing this up, I think it's very helpful. I'm working on selecting and formatting references now. — Athaenara ✉ 20:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Slight suggested correction

Dear Contributors,

Thanks for updating re. the opear information.

Just a slight correction to another section - I just noticed this:

'The Aerodrome' was a novella published on-line by Sandstone Press. The dates, etc, re. publication are correct. It's just that the entry ought to appear under 'Novellas' and not under 'Books'.

Thanks again,

Done (diff). — Athaenara ✉ 05:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Review of Opera

http://www.musicalcriticism.com/opera/sco-five-0308.shtml

The link above is another review of '5:15', the operas commissioned by Scottish Opera, of which the Queens of Govan was one. Unlike the others, this review was penned by a professional musician who is also an academic in the field. It might be appropriate to insert the link as a reference along with the others, in the requisite section. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.132.65 (talk) 14:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. The less worthy of the (now five) citations for one opera should probably be pruned. — Athaenara ✉ 19:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Spanish House, a new novella, published online

A new novella,' The Spanish House' was published on 1/5/08 in the ezine, 'The Bottle Imp', which is a biannual publication of the Association for Scottish Literary Studies (ASLS), based at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. Here is the link:

I didn't see this until this morning, sorry; I was on a wikibreak for two weeks and I'm now editing Wikipedia less frequently than before. — Athaenara ✉ 22:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.180.108 (talk) 11:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
