| Hayford, good to see you fast at work already! If you give me the exact diff at wikipedia that you parsed the article from, I can help to verify that you wrote most of it, then we might be able to take off the "content is form WP" from the bottom of the page. Also, did you see [[CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians]]. Leave a message on my talk about the wikipedia diff and I'll see what I can do. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 20:39, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

|
| |
| Okay, I looked through the history and saw that you definitely wrote most of it, but I think we would have to go back further before we could take off the checkbox. Such a shame :-) You wrote most of it for sure. Though, if you make enough changes that it no longer resembles the wikipedia article, we can still take off the checkbox. You can look at it again once you've finished cleaning it up. Don't forget to add the [[CZ:The Article Checklist]] to your articles! It helps your workgroup keep track of the status of articles so you can get them approved. If you need help on the first one, let me know. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D.

| When you see articles like that, put the [[Template:Speedydelete]] on it and then a constable (like me) will look at it and decide if it fits any of [[CZ:Article Deletion Policy|Article Deletion Policy]] guidelines that we can use. Otherwise, bring it to the attention of an editor. If you put a speedydelete template on this one, I could technically delete it as an "imported article with no significant changes in 2 weeks". Go ahead and give it a try. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 21:41, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

| Hi Hayford. Please see [[Help:Images#.22Fair_use.22]]. In this case, the thing to do is to seek permission from the copyright holder of the book and document each attempt to reach them while trying to achieve this. ''Then if that fails'' consider whether to make a fair use claim. [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 16:48, 18 May 2007 (CDT)

| |
| Hi Hayford,
| |
| I saw your note on Steve Ewen's talk page about the upload process. It's kind of a hassle to have to open a new program just to upload a photo, so I've copied below the template sans contents. Just be sure to copy it as it shows up here and not the way that I typed it into the editing box because I added in some formatting code that doesn't belong in the template. :) You might also copy it to your user page, if you think that would be helpful. Hope this helps. [[User:Joe Quick|--Joe Quick]] ([[User talk:Joe Quick|Talk]]) 15:14, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

| First I'd like to confess that I'm not an all encompassing expert on CZ style''(yet..)'', however it seems to me that the Bread article is way too categorical, of which I am totally guilty of sometimes as well. I am under the impression that articles should be more or less a running narrative on the subject, so it might be reworked to be less sliced and more loafed.--[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 15:44, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

| Special alphabetical characters are available on most keyboards -- I'm a Mac man, for instance, so I can get my accents with option-downaccent-e, which gives me '''è''', or option-e-e, which gives me '''é''' -- would this work for you?

| == copyediting ==
| |
|
| |
| Hayford, I must beg to differ. As the author of two books and dozens of book chapters and journal articles, of course I have dealt with copyeditors before -- and yet, just as there is quality in writing, there is quality in copyediting. Indeed, there is even give and take (I have, on many occasions, decided not to accept one or another changed reading made by a copyeditor, and this has always been handled professionally, that is, discussed and then the final say was with me (provided there was no unquestionable departure from grammar or the publisher's own style sheets). Copyediting which changes the meaning of phrases and then gets defensive is not copyediting which would be very much valued in the world of print, no more than it ought to be in the electronic world.

| == John Franklin Bardin ==

|

| Hayford, good heavens yes, I am a lifelong (well, since my college years) fan of John Franklin Bardin. Not only is he named after my favorite explorer, Sir [[John Franklin]], but his blend of precipitous psychological terror with a freakshow's worth of human oddities is really without parallel!
| |
|
| |
| Of course I am most fond of The Deadly Percheron, which I re-read at least once every five years or so; his others I have read once, but not recently. The newest edition of Percheron has a tempting excerpt from a "last unpublished novel" -- perhaps that will be out soon? The publisher is Millipede Press.

|
| |
| == Why the GFDL is a bad license for individual photos ==
| |
|
| |
| If someone wants to reuse a photo licensed under the GFDL, they must per the terms of the license include the '''full''' two-page GFDL license along with the re-use. So, for example, if I wanted to use your photo in a pamphlet, magazine, or book, I would have to reserve space to print the '''full''' GFDL license. The GFDL is a terrible license for photos. Creative Comons is much better, since the entire requirement is two ''sentences'' rather than two ''pages'' long. Most people simply reject using a GFDL photo, except within GFDL text.
