Blackwater

Apologies for not making it clear why I edited the Blackwater page. As you may have noticed from the cited article, it was not Blackwater that was involved in the post-Katrina shooting incident involving the protection of Mr. Quinn. I understand why you would distrust edits made anonymously from this IP address (it is shared by approximately 1000 people, some of whom may not have the best intentions).

I had read the article when it was published and thought I remembered what was in it. I should have refreshed my memory before restoring the passage. --Pleasantville 00:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About Wikipedia

I've noticed something about the past couple of conversations we have had. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Nobody needs any special knowledge, or special position, any qualifications to edit. It's not helpful to demand that other editors present their credentials or show their knowledge, to edit an article. It would be appreciated if you no longer did that again. ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

apology

I believe I owe you an apology. After looking back on it today, my conversations with you were less than civil. I apologize for that. While some of your edits were not civil either, I wasn't thinking that it was because of my tone that might be causing it. So, once again, my apologies. As for the citizendium remark it wasn't intended as "go there, leave here", it was intended as "If you're looking for an editorially peer-reviewed encyclopedia, that might be more what you're looking for." Judging from the sources I've seen provided today, you'd certainly qualify as an editor in the SF genre there. ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 20:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SwatJester has offered an unqualified apology by email, which I have accepted. --Pleasantville 11:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond Fantasy Fiction & NYRSF

Kathryn, I'm hoping your knowledge of sf criticism and of NYRSF may be able to help me, if you have a moment. I've nominated the article on Beyond Fantasy Fiction for featured article status; the nomination discussion is here. One commenter has suggested that there should be more on the critical reception the magazine received. I've checked books such as Damon Knight's In Search of Wonder, but I'm not hopeful of finding much in the way of contemporary commentary. (Haven't checked the Atheling books yet, though; I'll do that tonight.) Anyway, what I was wondering was whether you knew of any survey work (other than Michael Ashley's books, which I've used) which would have material on Beyond. Were there any historical surveys in NYRSF? I subscribed for a while and don't recall any such, but I figured you'd have the definitive answer. Other than that, any other pointers you can provide to sources or critical analyses that I might have overlooked would be great. Thanks for any help.

I'll have a look. I know we've got a pile of them in the basement and David & I have reprinted material from the magazine. --Pleasantville 13:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Soccer team roster

Our team is in the newspaper tommorow...I'll upload the article --Alzyb1 21:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC) [moved from my user page --Pleasantville 00:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)][reply]

Space Opera video games

I don't know enough about these games to do the winnowing and sifting; my professional gaming experience is primarily in RPGs and secondarily in board games. Sorry. --Orange Mike 01:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

fame

... and fortune will follow, I'm sure. Other than the fact that only a tiny amount of what I talked about made it into the piece, an article on politics on the front page of the Washington Post ain't bad! And the world discovers that wikipedia is not edited only by 16 year old boys. Cheers! Tvoz |talk 15:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Al Gore

Please explain your deletion on my edit on Al Gore's environmetalism. I put my arguments on talk page with no disputing point.Kirin4 14:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link added as citation did not lead to material sourcing the claim. Maybe the info is somewhere on that site, but I didn't see it when I checked. --Pleasantville 14:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link did, o.k if I put it back?Kirin4 14:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
