[edit] Charles Swift

Hey, thanks for your message -- I haven't figured out how to do that, so I'm responding here.

Yup, I'm an SU alum -- you too? I know SU has been in touch with Swift, and is darn tickled about his work. You might contact the Dean's office if you're looking for an SU speaker, or, of course, Doug Honig at the ACLU-wa . . . I am theoretically still on the ACLU speaker's bureau, but it's been a long time since I've made any appearances. My practice is almost exclusively state law, and our state doesn't raise the sort of civil liberties issues that the feds do! Or at least, few I can comment publically on as a faceless government bureaucrat. Lutanite 01:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hiya! I tried responding on your user talk (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Laura_Anglin ) let's see if that worked! rewinn 15:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hamdan v. Rumsfeld

(in reply to your post on my talk page) Re edits, glad to hear it, thanks. By the way, on the Kyl and Graham matter, if you want to have a stab, that would be great. I'm new to editing legal pages and am a bit reluctant. Ya, I should get around to creating a userpage I suppose. Crust 22:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glad to help out! =)

Ahh, I thought that may have been you, but generally I become suspicious when an IP or anonymous user edits a userpage, so I reverted just in case. Hopefully I didn't inconvenience you too much!!!

Feel free to borrow my userboxes. I think I may steal a few of yours. =)

Let me know if I can be of service. Srose (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for telling me how to de-column my userboxes. It was seriously getting on my nerves.Umlautbob 16:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timon and Alcibiades

I must admit the reconciliation aspect of the play confuses me. It comes up in many commentaries but it doesn't seem like what is going on the play. Perhaps the language is confusing me there, or maybe I'm just thinking the logical end to the play is an attack. I've read it numerous times and I just don't "get" that this scene is a reconciliation beyond being told that it is. So far no one who has read my screen version found my interpretation of the ending comfusiong, unless they've kept silent. This confusion is why I tried to paraphrase the language of the play. Thanks for responding.

By the way, where do you get those user page labels? I've seen several pages with them.

[edit] Reply on Alcibiades

Thanks. IIRC, in my screenplay (which I wrote 4 years ago), I sort of used a Macbeth/Lear sort of ending, in which Alcibiades's platoon took the Senate by siege and Alcibiades killed the two senators most responsible (I conflated the "Senator" with Caphis and the "First Senator" at the soldier's trial). Throwing down the glove in the screenplay was definitely more interpreted as a challenge, but screenplay basically ended with the Senate under siege, not so much a war as I suggested. I hope this isn't a significantly less true reading of the text than say, Branagh killing Osric. I didn't change any dialogue except for some gender and number issues. I made about half the characters female since I placed it in a modern setting, and wrote in a lot of unspoken material to flesh out the characters, and things like that.Scottandrewhutchins 15:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Scottandrewhutchins

[edit] Ambulance Chaser 'article'

I agree with you 100%. At best, it belongs in a 'Wictionary' (is that what you called it?) It is not an encyclopedia article, but a derisive term. How can we go about doing this?jgwlaw 02:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

What the heck is a game "civiliazation"?

Thanks for the tag. REading it now, my fear is that lawyer bashers will take the opportunity to 'expand' it to be more than a Wictionary entry. SIgh. Please keep an eye on this and on 'tort reform'.jgwlaw 15:24, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Can you tell me what I did wrong on the L. Frank Baum user box? There is supposed to be a purple border and yellow text, but only the link text shows. I don't want to make any more until I figure this out.ScottandrewhutchinsScottandrewhutchins

Wow, I'd love to help ... but maybe I was just too slow. Did you fix it already? rewinn 15:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks but I'm too busy

Thanks for the invitation, but I'm a bit too busy at the moment. Maybe some other time. --Coolcaesar 06:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] metric

I swear we had a slide on the Chevette, before it became associated with "ugly POS". Actually in an edit skirmish over that car as we speak. Will fix. --matador300 01:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal
The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out.
Home Page Reorganization
The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list.
Article Classification Move
The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project.
New Talk Page Template
The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.

Balance
As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations!
What You Can Do to Help
The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.

Mmmmmm! Cookies! Mmmmm! rewinn 23:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mother Damnable

So, did you actually have your hands on Thomas S. Phelps's memoir, or did you find him quoted somewhere else? If the latter, we should indicate the intermediate citation. If the former, great, it's fine as it stands. - Jmabel | Talk 04:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, you gotta good point. I read the quote first in Speidel's books (which I do have ... they are hilarious!) and then on some historysites. But it's still an indirect quote. I will order the book through interlibrary loan (they are available on bookfinder too) but until I can verify them (...which is the correct thing to do, I was just lazy...) how is intermediate cite handled? I appreciate your attention to quality! rewinn 15:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I found (...or rather, someone else found & I noticed...) Phelps' report on the web, so I editted the article to quote from that. There were a few different word IIRC; minor changes but that shows the value of going as close to the source as possible. rewinn 19:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plame Affair

your edits to the Plame Affair have been superb! i just wanted to commend you on a job well done!Anthonymendoza 00:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words - your edits have been very good as well. It's great to collaborate!! rewinn 03:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Galloway

Excellent reason to remove the Al Qaeda paragraph - I've been wondering if someone would. I will be putting it back in though, with Galloway's response - as soon as I have finished preparing it. It may well be put back in sooner by people who I call the Galloway police. The only way round them (and the best route to go besides) is to keep showing both sides.

[edit] Lynette Warren

I noticed you were attempting to wiki chat with Lynette. You may wish to ask her why she contributes to a journal that made a joke about 2 aboriginal children dying by burning to death in a house fire on our reserve last month. She's one sick puppy. She also wrote something once about how listening to her own language spoke made her feel nauseated. Ask her about that too. Cheers... Somena

[edit] Hi!

I noticed you in the WP:biography place. I'm working on Paciocco a university prof in law. Perhaps this article may interest you. --CyclePat 18:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Franken edit

Thanks for actually making judgments. All I do is try to make it read better but didn't know that the topic just doesn't fit as written. Chivista 16:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC) Thanks for taking your unpaid work seriously. ;)

Fun, isn't it! A little bit of creativity, a little bit of construtivism. Too bad about the "unpaid" part tho... ;-) rewinn 21:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I put a s protect on Franken for anon editors. If you think somethin else should be done, or if the sprotect shold be lifgted, do so. :) Chivista 00:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fascism and Nazism as representative forms of socialism

I am sorry to bother you again, but I really need some help. There is an ongoing campaign by a few editors to portray Fascism and Nazism as representative forms of socialism. As part of this effort (a debate that stretches back to 2004), there are a tiny handful of editors who revert and redirect National Socialism to Nazism. I believe a majority of editors support redirecting National Socialism to National Socialism (disambiguation). I realize we just had a poll on the Nazism page where I thought this issue was settled, but apparently the struggle is not over. Please consider voting in the new poll, or adding a comment at: Talk:Nazism#Survey:_redirecting_National_Socialism. Also consider notifying other editors with an interest in this matter. I am doing the best I can, but need assistance. Thanks.--Cberlet 17:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
