Welcome, and thanks for the T.E. Lawrence contribs.

I suspect the assertions about the film are going to get some push-back; that sort of strong stuff needs supporting citations. Probably simply stating that the movie was wildly popular will make the necessary point (is there a way to compare the relative popularity of a movie & a book? Also note that the movie has its own entry.

Also, I reverted the edit because the movie thing was combined with the plays and on the plays, I couldn't make out what you were doing, there seemed to be a bunch of little changes and for some reason the diffs were totally garbled. Any chance you could drop your improvements back in in smaller chunks so that those of us who care could see what you're doing? Thanks Tim Bray (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. My objective was to convert the bullet point list into prose and introduce the section through the most widely known piece of fiction. Will look into improving the text but uncertain about editing the list.--Axelode (talk) 19:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fixing the date on Flag of Malta. It has sat uncorrected since 2009 when this edit incorrectly stated the date as 1943. That mistake may have been due to someone noting that it had been added to the flag in 1943.

You caught a subtle error! Thanks for that. Always remember to leave an edit summary though so others will know that you were changing it to the correct date. Thanks again. Shadowjams (talk) 01:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'd removed the Twitter story from List_of_electronic_literature_authors,_critics,_and_works#Titles because the work itself doesn't have an article and doesn't seem like it'd pass WP:NBOOK. (That would probably be the guideline we'd use since it is sort of used as a catch all for fiction works.) The link to Holt himself can remain because currently he has an article, but I'm also worried about that one since it seems to be pretty bare when it comes to sourcing for notability. It has two sources that do count towards notability, but it needs more to really show that he passes WP:AUTHOR and to keep it safe from AfD. I'll see what I can find, but I wanted to explain why I removed the link for the story. If we can find enough sourcing to show that the work is notable enough for an article then it should definitely be re-added, but until then it is probably better to just leave his name in the author section. When his book is eventually published I'm sure that his Twitter story will get more media love as well.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 17:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • She's a woman, durr. I suppose it's not the first time that's happened to her, lol. In any case, I found more and linked to an article that discussed her winning a Pushcart Prize. BTW, do you have a way of finding out a list of her works? I'd like to have a complete bibliography section, but I'm having trouble finding a complete list.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Axelode, regarding this you are tilting at windmills - do not expect historical scholarship, i.e. that they are going to let historiographical reason prevail. Let it go at that! I am talking from experience.

Keep in touch! --IIIraute (talk) 04:45, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
