Re: Joseph PriestleyRecent personal research into the Writings of Thomas Jefferson caused more than a passing personal curiousity regarding Joseph Priestley. The Priestley Wikipedia stub greatly exceeded my expectations when arriving there from a Google search. It's breadth and scholarship are of outstanding quality, and is deserving of especial éclat. Presently, another area of personal fascination and curiousity for is Google Books. It's search functionality still leaves much to be desired though, and locating complete collections often involves abstruse methods. Yesterday, I located the complete four volume collection of a Joseph Priestley work, referenced in footnote 143, sans online URLs, and thought you might appreciate the data. Hopefully, the Chicago style citation is agreeable to you. Priestley, Joseph. 1803. A general history of the Christian church from the fall of the western empire to the present time. Northumberland [Pa.]: Printed for the author, by Andrew Kennedy. Also, from a present project of mine; here are a few links to transcriptions of letters Thomas Jefferson wrote to Priestley marked up to XHTML. Again, this is just a presonal pet project (the ability to directly reference citations with online links pointing to specific paragraphs amuses...). Feel free to copy any or all of it, if you have any use for it. It is not necessary to provide citations to the site. There were some letter exchanges between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson regarding Priestley, which I've not provided links to. Adams at times expressed incredulity about Priestley's opinions, but Jefferson, as far as I've read up to this point was strongly supportive of his worldview.
If you're interested, I'm more than happy to share any more links to Priestley's authorship pulled from Google Books. Just leave a note on this page, and I'll return at some future date to check. cheers 76.0.225.57 (talk) 00:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Priestley's History of Christian ChurchThis wasn't the collection with 3 and 4 volumes, depending on the edition, that I saw earlier. It was a two part series, with the 1st part 2 volumes, and the 2nd part 4 volumes. Note: The Google Books records have been filtered to show "Full View" texts only. That is a personal preference, and there may well be more records if the filter is removed.
(TinyURLs get blacklisted as spam on a talk page?) cheers 76.0.225.57 (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC) Possibly related to your studiesAfter reading your Wiki bio page last night, I thought you might be interested in an excerpt from a Jefferson letter to Thomas Cooper. Hopefully, it won't offend. It is one of the finest "girlieboy" style derogations I've seen from an American Founder. Jefferson intimates that Trinitarian fanaticism in Richmond, VA, is chiefly due to lustful women who go to night prayer meetings, but some henpecked husbands are dragged along with them: "In our Richmond there is much fanaticism, but chiefly among the women. They have their night meetings and praying parties, where, attended by their priests, and sometimes by a henpecked husband, they pour forth the effusions of their love to Jesus, in terms as amatory and carnal, as their modesty would permit them to use to a mere earthly lover." - Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, November 2, 1822 mirthfully yours, 76.0.225.57 (talk) 23:53, 12 November 2008 (UTC) updateI dumped some Google Books data onto Talk:List of works by Joseph Priestley. Unexpected circumstances have suddenly appeared (work and personal) making it unlikely that I'll be digging much deeper soon. Are you familiar with Maria Cosway? Randolph, Sarah Nicholas. 1858. The domestic life of Thomas Jefferson comp. from family letters and reminiscences, by his great-granddaughter. New York: Harper & Brothers. Google Books - Specifically: pp 84-92, and pp 372-377, but search the whole book, as there are a few more references. Also, I was right about the errant Jefferson quote. until the future; cheers 76.0.225.57 (talk) 23:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC) Augie MarchHi Awadewit, I was hoping you'd be able to take another look at Augie March, especially in light of this recent edit. Obviously, the article needs a bit more spit and polish before it's ready for another go at FAC, but since you were the one that gave us the most useful feedback last time around, I thought I'd check with you to see if there were any further outstanding issues you can see that would make you Oppose again. Thanks, Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:33, 19 November 2008 (UTC).
Hi. I found your name on the list of peer review volunteers. The article in question allready has FA status on the dutch and german wikis, and seems to be in your range of interests. I would very much appreciate you taking a look at it and saying what you think. Since i'm aiming at FA status on en.wikipedia.org, too, i urge you to set your standards high, should you decide to review the article. Tjuus, Kleuske (talk) 19:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Pride and podcastingI'm flattered by your kind comment in the Signpost interview. I don't know if I can claim that title, but it's interesting that Saintsbury's introduction to the works of Balzac begins with the quote: "Sans génie, je suis flambé!" As always, it's an "if I grow, the harvest is your own" sort of thing; I learned from the champ. Thanks too for sending out podcast reminders – I was going to do that tomorrow, but you beat me to it. Also, I've been thinking about the moderation task, and I'm forever opposed to playing the stereotypical role of the dominant male voice, taking charge of discussions by virtue of the Y chromosome. Do you want to take the helm on this one? I think it could be healthy to move the gavel around. Either way is fine with me. Scartol • Tok 09:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I was kind of angry at the comments you left at the article's FAC. I have brought the article up as high as possible, and almost nothing else can be done, so please don't ask anymore of me. Lastly, could you please look at the comments I left you? I hope they say something. Limetolime Talk to me • look what I did! 17:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Fleance GAI think we've about got this one licked. Have a look. Wrad (talk) 02:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC) MiltonI thought this was important - is his birthday (9 December) OS or NS? If it is OS, then his actual birthday would be 19 December 1608, which would give us 10 more days. I cannot find any mention of the date because his life was contained before the transition, so people rarely point it out. I will talk to my Miltonist friend about it. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC) I wanted to note that I added a set of books that I have access to dealing with the generalities. I only focused on a few issues to see what the response would be. However, I think my idea could be a compromise between two competing philosophies. If you can provide any of the competing "novel development" theory sources, i.e. books with a short summary of what they emphasize, then that could help filling out the Ian Watts section, which should be updated with at least a handful more critics. I decided that I wanted to stem off the FAR politics spats that are going on currently by actually working on one. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:57, 25 November 2008 (UTC) Image check request

Priestley's gravesiteRegarding the comments you left on my page, I'm interested in graves, and I've never known Find-A-Grave to err. If you know of an example, please let me know. In this particular case, the Find-A-Grave site is 100% accurate and even includes a photo of Priestley's marker showing the epitaph. After Thanksgiving I can check for a printed source at work, although words alone won't do much for me since I've seen Priestley's grave in Northumberland for myself. I may even be able to dig out a picture I took. By the way, the marker shown at Find-A-Grave isn't the original one. I may have pictures of both the old and new ones. The old one is, as I recall, hard to read and almost hidden by the newer marker. - Astrochemist (talk) 04:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I need some advice on what to do about fixing up an image description page. The image of interest has no info whatsover (source, date, author, etc.). Previously when I had this problem with Cranmer, one would consult the NPG database (very useful for English portraits). Is there a comparable database of portraits of Continental characters? Oh, also I wanted to mention about the peer review, if you have some time to spare of course! --RelHistBuff (talk) 17:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Scartol • Tok 02:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC) Sorry for taking so long, but I formatted out what I wanted. My main issue with inline on the main FAC page is I can't easily strike out all my comments and it gets lost in the sea of text; I've added some italics and bolding so my comments stick out (for me at least) and pasted your comments in between them, I've gotten to a couple. I'm going to go through this weekend and get another set of comments, which I'll just add as another level heading. Sorry for being such a pain :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC) ImagesThanks for doing an image review of Bart Simpson. If you don't mind, could you please do an image review for List of Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine (which is a FLC) or List of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates (which will be heading to FLC soon)?

Milton RegainedThis Friday, I will start producing a series of pages for DYK. I will try to get people to place them on his birthday and have as many possible displayed. This is a list of those I will work on: Milton's early life. Milton's religious views. Milton's political views. L'Allegro and Il Penseroso. Milton's epic style. Milton's legacy/reception history. Paradise Regained. All of the political works not yet there. The individual pages for the divorce tracts. Milton and Hobbes page. The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates. Eikonoklastes. and Milton's 1645 Poems (including pages for those not yet there). I hope to build five sets of DYK (based around politics, early life and early poems, his epics verse, his divorce tracts, and his religious views). I will return about 45 books this week and I will empty out the various libraries with Milton books. If you can help, try to find works by Stanley Fish and Thomas Corns on Milton. I plan on creating about 20 pages, expanding around 10. The idea will be to expand the pages to size, then double back and work on them. I figure that I was able to build 12 pages for Johnson in a day, so with help that this could be achieved over a weekend. Credit should be dispersed to everyone that contributes, even if its just editing and formatting. Perhaps we should start a list so people will know? Outside help (with formatting and editing) would probably be best Saturday, after the initial push. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC) Primate at FACHello!

Hey there...Can you take a look at the sourcing queries on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ralph Bakshi and tell me if I'm out of line here? It appears that the editors are using citations to sources they did not actually consult, but that were sources for works they did consult.

However, I will go through and rough out the other missing political works before working on expanding the 9 pages. This should end around 3ish, and I will spend the rest of the night working on the major "unity" and biographical pages. I want to have at least two sets of DYK (I need 6 sets total) by tomorrow night, and to get spacing for the rest. Hopefully, these 38 pages will mostly be finished along with the related Blake depictions of Milton's page by Sunday night/Monday morning so everything can go off starting Monday night. I didn't list articles on JStor, and I figured anyone who wanted to drop by and add content is welcome (and encouraged).

Image review for List of monarchs of the Muhammad Ali DynastyHi, Awadewit! The List of monarchs of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which I worked on a lot, is currently a featured list candidate. Dabomb87 has requested that I ask you to check that all images are properly tagged/licensed. As I'm sure you receive many such requests, I took the time to do the checking myself. I updated the main license tag used by these images after doing some research on copyright laws in Egypt, and replaced images with dubious information with new versions. I did this so as to facilitate your task. If you can just take a quick look at the images now (there are only 19 of them), I'd be tremendously grateful as this would help the list in its FLC. It shouldn't take you much time, since I really made sure that all the images are properly licensed/tagged. BomBom (talk) 11:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

ASCB updateHi Awadewit, You were interested in welcoming and helping the newbie scientists at the ASCB workshop this coming Tuesday, weren't you? I haven't thought through what the online volunteers should do beyond giving them a hearty welcome and offer of help on their Talk pages, plus minor fixes, categorization, etc. to their articles as they develop them. Can you think of other ways? The workshop will be from 12:30-2:30pm local San Francisco time. Tim and I will be speaking up to about 1pm, so they might not start their user page until perhaps 12:45pm. I'm going to ask them to put the template {{ASCB workshop}} to their user page, which will add them to the Category:ASCB 2008 Wikipedia workshop participants category. Then you'll be able to see who's participating. By scanning Recent changes with a script, I might be able to create a list of them on my user page, too, although I just thought of that. If you know of anyone else who might want to help out online, please feel free to invite them. I've been developing a set of follow-up tutorials, which are listed on my user page (second section). The scripts are on hold at the moment, although I managed to write a MOSHEAD-checking script a few weeks ago. Dank55 volunteered to look it over and give suggestions. I'm leaving in a few hours for the flight to SF, so I might not be able to reply quickly. If you can't help out, that's fine, too. Happy holidays! Proteins (talk) 11:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Augustan litI wanted to note that my comment on the FAR about the usage was in response to how critics use it. I haven't see many female authored romans (romance, novels, etc) described as "Augustan" in the sense that the page uses it (i.e Satire). The Female Quixote may be one such work, just as Jane Collier's work. However, I don't have enough access to books on either to find if any critic ever uses the term for them. There may be some others that I don't know about. I would love to add Collier and Lennox for obvious reasons (Richardson's camp vs Fielding's). I would just need more basis to do so than what I have from personal knowledge. Ottava Rima (talk) 18:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia Weekly Episode 67Hey!

It needs a lot of work. Basic definitions aren't laid out, it's much too long, Ral315 wants the image of the girl replaced (can't remember why or even where he posted that), the examples are confusing, and I'm unsure if it unnecessarily overlaps Elcobbola's Free and Non-free image dispatches, or could just link to them instead.

Elcobbola used to list his concerns, but only enter an oppose if his concerns passed a certain threshold, recognizing that some areas of image review are less clearcut than others; I mistakenly thought you followed a similar pattern when you don't enter an oppose. Yes, if the concerns are enough that you think promotion should be held up, an oppose will let me know that. Your image reviews are invaluable, so I hope you don't feel that I overlooked your work. Wishing you a healthful and joyful New Year, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Re: Welcome to FAC!Hehe, cheers. I'll pop round if theres anything I need help on, I take it you'll be in the skypecast tonight. Sunderland06 (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Happy New Year!
Request for ceYou were kind enough to help me out with a long and difficult FAC last year. I wonder if you would be be prepared to have a look at Northern Bald Ibis? It's simpler in principle, and had a very thorough GA review from an experienced editor as well as input from the bird project people, so any gross defects, image issues and referencing should have been fixed. It's really a matter of checking whether the prose is up to FA standard. Happy New Year, thanks jimfbleak (talk) 15:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Happy New Year!
Thanks again Awadewit for all off your hard work helping me at FAC. Here is some fuel from my tree to keep you firing in the new year! All the best! YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 03:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Image request for FLCI would appreciate it if you could take a look at the images of List of Pittsburgh Pirates managers and owners and left a note about ithere. Just wanted to make sure everything was in good shape for the FL. Thank you! blackngold29 17:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Userpage designI'm new to Wikipedia and was wondering if you would mind too much if I used some of the design elements on your userpage as a starting point for my own? I'm not into clutter and yours seems to manage quite a lot of information successfully. I'm not really sure if I'll even end up using it, but I thought I'd do the polite thing and ask you instead of just copying it. Hope you are having a Happy New Year!

It recently passed and you helped get it there by taking the time out to review the images within the article.--WillC 01:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC) Mayer-Vietoris sequence FAC (picture issue)I am not completely familiar with the FA criteria, especially for pictures. Criterion 3 does not talk about references for images. However, perhaps criterion 1c does. Could you clarify what you need to know about these images? Also, I do not understand this sentence: "Since they are not always associated with this article, all necessary sourcing information needs to be on the image description page." Should not all necessary sourcing information be on the images' description page regardless of whether they are always associated with the article? GeometryGirl (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Commons questionsHi A, if it's easier, you can ask questions here on WP; it's a somewhat silly exercise to make folks trek over to the Commons when I'm still reading WP.
re: Tempting article collaborationPing! --ROGER DAVIES talk 12:43, 7 January 2009 (UTC) Image Check RequestHello Awadewit! Ealdgyth has been assisting me in my quest to get Suffolk Punch to FA status. She has suggested that I ask you to complete an image check before nominating the article. If you would do so, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time. Dana boomer (talk) 17:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello Awadewit. I notice that you are very much interested in 16th, 17th, and 18th century British history. I wish to nominate List of Governors of Bombay for FLC. Can you copyedit the prose of this list. Actually, there is hardly any prose since this is a List. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, KensplanetTC 11:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hallo! I fixed the problems you mentioned on the nomination. Have a nice day :) -- LYKANTROP ✉ 00:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
A, I can't tell where Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Orval Grove stands, and if any remaining issues are enough to hold up promotion. (BTW, the FP Dispatch is looking much better now after several others went through.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
I've responded to your comments on the article's images. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 06:18, 10 January 2009 (UTC))
Boyce recapI've gone through Karanac's listed concerns with William D. Boyce. Thanks for your ce. Would you like to give it a final look before FAC? — Rlevse • Talk • 17:29, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
FeedbackThis is a good approach; maybe it will address a source of frustration for me (Supports lodged in spite of non-reliable sources and unclear image licensing). We'll see how it goes ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Your statements at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Operation BrevityI thought items that are only PD-US items are supposed to be on Wikipedia. Commons is global, so images there need to be PD in both US and country of origin. Wikipedia is based in US, and hence as long as the items are PD-US, they are okay (ignoring all those "fair-use" images). This would be why Popeye's image would be PD at the French Wikipeida but still fair use over here. Jappalang (talk) 03:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Children in content review processesA, are you still planning to comment at User talk:SandyGeorgia#NYC meet-up video? If not, I'll likely archive it on the 15th; let me know if you want me to keep it active. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC) DYK for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
