[Welcome]

Hello E.A. Lacey and welcome to Wikipedia. Judging by the quality of your edits so far, you don't need my help. Have you been contributing anonymously before this? Anyway, here's a few tips for you just in case:

• Peruse Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers and associated pages
• Sign talk page entries with ~~~~, which is automatically converted to a name and date
• Ask questions on Wikipedia:Village pump
• Have fun.

-- Tim Starling 14:33 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I haven't exactly been contributing before, but I've been browsing and reading code, and it isn't too hard to pick up how things work. And thank you for the ~~~~ hint, which I probably wouldn't have picked up from looking at edit pages.

-- EALacey 16:37 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

[Doctor Who tie-in websites]

Hi, thanks for restoring the sections that got accidentally deleted when I did that edit on the Doctor Who tie-in websites page, no idea how it happened since I didn't even scroll down that far in the edit field, I'll try and keep a closer eye on in what changes have happened in the future. Cheers Number36 05:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[Peter Stoner]

...Good catch on Peter Stoner! I was having trouble finding criticism of his book. Thank you! --Robert Stevens 12:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, though I can't claim much credit for finding the QRB review - a Google search turned up its JSTOR link. EALacey 13:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Jesus as Myth

I just figured I'd say thanks for your extensive work on the Jesus as Myth page - it really needed it, it's in an atrocious shape, and I wish I had the time and work ethic to do more to it. TheologyJohn 13:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Hey, I saw you fixed up the link to my article on Doherty's page on here. Thanks for the plug! If I might ask, how did you find the article? Zeichman 00:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Sappho

Hi, EALacey! Thanks very much for your feedback on the Sappho article. Looks like a little work will bring her up to GA status - I appreciate your help! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Tiberius Alexander

No problemo, great article, and I'm something of a classicist myself, though I mostly write about opera here. I saw that one at GAC and thought it looked interesting, and it was. Good luck with your other endeavours. Cheers, Moreschi ^Deletion! 21:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

FYI

• At Leo Ryan - I believe I have now switched over all of the citations to the CITE formatting. Smee 07:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

I have made the "Jungle Ambush" a subsection of "The Peoples Temple", and created another subsection heading "Travels to Jonestown". As per your suggestions at Talk:Leo Ryan/Comments. Smee 08:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

Restored Deletes

Thank you for restoring the nominations my revision deleted. I have no idea how that happened, but one thing is for sure - your monitoring has prevented some possible GAs from being denied the chance of being given a fair and proper GA review. Ariedartin JECJY ^Talk 14:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Cartago delenda est

Hi. Thanks for your edit. I guess I didn't pay attention in Latin classes as well as I thought. If it's not subjunctive of obligation, what's the name for the grammatical form? --Dweller 20:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Bah! Gerundive! My old Latin teacher would be furious I got that wrong. Phooey. I noticed the Cato source you provided utilised an "h" in Cartago (ie "Carthago"). I found substantial Google hits both with and without. Which is more accurate? Also, do you know the origins of the expression, as Cato's solecism is longer and I'm not sure if he derived his catchphrase from a popular expression, or if the popular expression derived from him. Finally, help with citing a fact for the clarion call would be great. --Dweller 22:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Bubble act

Thanks for the comments on the double act, it's the first tiem I've ever had any constructive response from a peer review. I left one little note about Vic and Bob, but other than that I will try to make the necessary changes over Easter. Where are you at Uni?--Crestville 15:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Oxford? Lah dee dah. I think it would help to watch vic & bob to understand it.--Crestville 20:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Lol, no not really. What I meant was, the description is pretty accurate and I would advbie you to watch it (perhaps on youtube) because it's funny)--Crestville 20:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Taking care

Please do not add my contribs in your edit summary as if I were a vandal. Take a look at my contribs before doing soemthing that I take as a personal attack. Thanks, SqueakBox 22:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Cicero

Thank you for editing "my problem site":Marcus Tullius Cicero!! What delights me most are the references to Greek and Latin sources. As you can find out from the talk page, it has a substancial lack of references and looks and reads like patchwork. Yet, it is a very important topic, and I, however, will do my best to make it as close to a FA article as possible. If only the many vandals on this site will allow us to do it.... I have spent too much time reverting their "edits". Regards --Tellervo 09:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Correspondents of Cicero

Would you kindly add the name of Appius Claudius to the list? I have tried to do it, but I do not know, how to operate the "edit page" site. Appius Claudius, whose cognomen I have forgotten (maybe you can find it out?) was propraetor or proconsul of Cilikia in 52 BC one year before Cicero himself was in the same position. --Tellervo 12:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

From User:81.152.30.116

I have just noticed your postings. The book in question is essentially the text of my MA thesis entitled, 'Pagan Ritual And Myth, In The Early Christian Church'. It does indeed cover many aspects of the Jesus Myth, Christian festival et al...As an example, the first eight chapters are headed: (1)Rebirth of a Myth, (2)Christianity And The Sun God, (3)The Dying And Resurrected Saviour God,(4)Stars And Their Portents, (5)The Virgin Mother Of The World, (6)The Cave And Stable Myth, (7)Slaughter Of The Innocents, (8)Miracles...................etc. There are 16 chapters, 230pp, inc' Bibliography, and index.The work is therefore accademically sound, and relevant to many diverse aspects of Christianity. However, I will cease making further entries: and you must delete what you feel is inapropriate.As an act of contrition I am willing to rewrite, re-edit your entry on James Frazer; you seem to have some problems with it(?).

The Waiting Womb

Hi E.A, Lacey - I am writing with regards to my entry on - The Waiting Womb: Novel - There is not a lot of fiction literature that is beneficial for couples suffering from infertility. Infertility impacts 4.9 million couples, and as I noted in the submission twenty percent of these cases are unexplained. As a person that has suffered through unexplained infertility I found no literature or reference material that dealt with other's emotions. The Waiting Womb, by Jill Sayre, while a fictionalized account of actual events, is a beneficial reference in dealing with the heartbreak of infertility, secondary infertility, as well as the joy of adoption.

Given that wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and an online reference source what better means to discover additional sources into the area of infertility. I ask you, have you suffered through infertility? Do you know the pain that I know i.e. physical, and emotional? I submit to you that wikipedia is a perfect venue for individuals/couples to start searching for information regarding how others have traveled the path of infertility.

hi lacey, i was wondering if you could help me out on a message you sent me. I want to give reason why the page i contributed is worth keeping around. I do not feel this page should be deleted.

Dchi7 21:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Dchi7 Lacey, for clarification purposes The Waiting Womb is not MY publication it is one that I have read. The topic of infertility, secondary infertility, and adoption have impacted my life. As stated earlier this is a valuable resource. If it was a advertising venture wouldn't I have attached a link to order the novel? Thank you and best wishes.

You seem interested in removing my Urban_Cycle_Polo article based on it's references. I'm working on them. There will be an article in the New York Times in late August of 2007 which should eliminate your concerns of the subject's notability. --LeeAzzarello 23:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The Lonely Lonely Bad Boys

Hey, I'm the author of the page 'The Lonely Lonely Bad Boys'. You caught me out, and after around 6 months of it being up there. But I can see that you at least enjoyed the humour, and suggested that it be featured on the BJAODN page. In saying that, I am completely ignorant in the ways of wikipedia, and kindly ask if you'll do me and my comrades the great favour of requesting it on there for us, or at least letting me know how.

Thanks again.

Edit: Actually, what would be most preferable was that tag that says "This is a humerous and false article, please do not take it seriously"

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive!

WikiProject Biography is holding a three month long assessment drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unassessed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2007 – September 1, 2007.

Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the WikiCookie to the great Golden Wiki Award.
There are over 110,000 articles to assess so please visit the drive's page and help out!

This drive was conceived of and organized by Psychless with the help of Ozgod. Regards, Psychless ^{Type words!}.

Would you help me with a source?

Hi EALacey! Some time ago I remembered dimly, that a Roman, living in the 1. century AD has said that "we do not need a history of the first century BC, because we have Cicero's letters". I wrote it down to the lead section of the article about Cicero in order to give more weight to my statement of the importance of Cicero' s letters to posterity, hoping I will find out whose opinion this is. Well, I haven´t been successful in this endeavour. Have you ever heard this opinion/statement? If you do, I am grateful. If not, I will remove that sentence. The discussion about this sentence is to be found on the Cicero:talk page.--Tellervo 08:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for quoting so much in detail Cornelius Nepos! I also think that the quotation should be kept in the article, - it looks good in the lead section!--Tellervo 13:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Titus

Over the past two weeks I've done some work on improving the article on Titus. I wondered if you might want to take a look at it and provide some feedback. Anything I forgot, factual errors, unsourced statements, bad writing,... I've also posted some questions regarding unsourced claims on the talkpage. Perhaps you have an answer to one of them. The article is still not perfect but hey, considering the original looked like this I think some progress has been made. --Steerpike 02:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Titus passed for Good Article status today. So, thanks for your contributions. I think we can be proud ^^ --Steerpike 15:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Raymond E. Brown

I agree that someone is trying to force an opinion that Father Brown claimed Biblical inerrancy when he made no such statement. Would you like to take a look at Raymond E. Brown with me. I also suggest having a look at historical-critical method. Thank you for your time. (Runwiththewind 21:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC))

Vipsania Marcella

Hello,

Perhaps you could help me, this article about Vipsania Marcella suppose to be about the daughter of Agrippa and Claudia Marcella major who merried Varus. however I didn't find a mention of her in ancient sources (Suetonius tell that Agrippa and Marcella had several children however he doesn't give any names or further information) and Meyer Reinhold in his biography of Agrippa didn't mention her either.

Since you used the French biography of Agrippa by Jean-Michel Roddaz could you please tell me what did it's say about Vipsania Marcella?Ingsoc 04:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer! just another question, could you tell me where the english translation of Augustus' funeral oration for Agrippa was published?Ingsoc 05:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Vulcan

Remember, disambiguations are expected to be simple. We don't have to define Vulcan in the article title, any more than we define Hephaestus or Zeus in their article titles; we just have to be able to tell which article mentions the Vulcanalia and which mentions Mr. Spock. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 14 August, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Vedius Pollio, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
