Citing question!

Hello! I am a student in the Weber State University/CJ2300 Policing: History, Theory, and Practice this fall, and I am working on the Use of Force article. I was wanting to quote from Robert Peel's Principles of Law Enforcement, specifically number 6, which discusses the use of force. However, I am having a hard time finding the original source, since it is from 1829. Does it need a source, or at this point would it be considered "public domain"? Thanks in advance!

Your comments at Oxford College of Emory University's FAC

Hello Mike, thank you for your very detailed review of my article's featured article computability. I have addressed all of the issues that you pointed out, and also did my own copyedit of the entire article. I would appreciate it if you could go back and take a look at the article again, and if you have time, provide some additional comments. Thanks again! --haha169 (talk) 18:44, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello again. Sorry to be so pushy, but could you kindly leave an update to your review? I have copyedited the entire article, and would appreciate it if you took another look it. Thank you! --haha169 (talk) 01:03, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi -- no problem with nudging me again; you've every right to ask. I'd been hoping that someone else would comment, and I was planning to go back and take a look after that, but since it's been over a week I will try to get back to it this weekend, if not before (I have a couple of other obligations that may come up). If I haven't revisited by Sunday, please ping me again. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:35, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Strange Tales (pulp magazine), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Harry Bates and Mike Ashley. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Special gopher request

Hey Mike. I'll take a peek at Cosmic Stories sometime this week. I also have an odd request. I'm looking for a book review from the November 1991 issue of Analog (specifically, this review). do you know anyone who would have a copy of that? Protonk (talk) 14:13, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I do have it, but unfortunately most of my magazines are in boxes in the basement, and I've no way of knowing which box it's in. If you ever need to check if I have something you can look at this page, which is a public index of my collections, but until I get those boxes unpacked it's going to be academic, I'm afraid.

citation question

I'm trying to place a cite a paragraph in the article from a source that has already been referenced. Using like it says to, isn't working. Any suggestions to cite my article on slave patrol!?CaityJanelle (talk) 04:27, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

I figured it out. Thanks! Your solution, < ref ='slave_patrol_name' / >, for placing a citation that's already in the reference list works. You just have to close it in with apostrophes, not quotes.
