It's very good to see all the pages on the well-known members of the Chicago Dept. of English, many of them people I recognize as a librarian. But the information you are supplying is not sufficient--there is a certain prejudice against academic people here and at least some of the articles will probably be deleted if they are not made more complete. What is needed is:

a list of books published, with some references to a review or two for each of the major books
a list of major awards, prizes, editorships, & visiting professorships
some sketch at biography--at least date & place of birth, & colleges and degrees and previous positions.

Please do this quickly--I will follow up and try to prevent deletion, but if I don't, just add the information and create it again. I'm one of the administrators here & I take a certain interest in this type of article.

The next thing to do, would be to perhaps add an article about a few of the seminal books from this department--take a look at other similar pages here to see the expected style. Any book with a well-known award and a few good reviews might be OK. DGG (talk) 03:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I try to upgrade articles when necessary as I can, but see what you can do first. The books you can certainly add: take them from WorldCat on the web. . Add it in the formal way

Title by Author, Place: Publisher, date. Some will have multiple editions, say so with the dates. You can probably get a list of papers at the department site--some of the younger people will have web sites. Then see what else you can get from Google Scholar. Ten years ago you would have needed the university-library sort of indexes--by now you can do quite a lot without them. Tell me when you're done & I'll check and adjust format.

I am very glad to have made the acquaintance of someone who knows Russian well, & who writes good English--I will undoubtedly ask your help sometime. Do you work with technical material, or what? I know just enough Russian to use a dictionary, but that's about it. DGG (talk) 19:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Craft of Research

I'm not sure what's in my userspace is a good basis for an article, but I've started a stub at The Craft of Research if you want to expand it. Phil Sandifer 15:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Good to see you coming as I bid a goodbye to this nightmare called Wikipedia. Good luck and hopefully Jimbo (Jimmy Wales) will not call your contributions a hoax (as he did mine)[1]. Oh well whatever. I have started to work on several articles and I have not been able to do anything on the catacombs in Kiev justice. I would hope that you do them honor. I was hoping for some help on the Nikolai Lossky~ eh? Also I really did not get time to work out a simple explanation of his personal intuitivism all though I started with his general overview of the processes of the mind that he worked out with Semen L. Frank. I was however able to at least get a small Vladimir Lossky article created in Greek. But I am unable to get the history of when V Lossky fought against the Nazis in France during World War II as part of the French Resistance in English also his article in Russian is anemic. Also the Russian philosophy article I was unable to complete because I never got around to translating the Russian for the the names in red. I tried to add human rights violations like the holomidir to [[2]] but a Stalinist keep deleting it. I have tired to get an article about atheistic mass murder but it got deleted too [3]. Ha the truth isn't Pee Cee.. I have been working on this article though Persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union I am more then positive it is not PC enough and will get deleted eventually. I created a tried to work on Anne Applebaum a tiny little bit on Mask of Sorrow and I keep getting my work deleted from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I have touch only lightly on Alexi and I am not up to the fight, I am tired, disgusted and done. Theotokos Bless you always! LoveMonkey 01:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for your recent image uploads, I would however like to suggest that you read WP:FURG which gives advice on what a 'fair use rationale' should ideally contain. ShakespeareFan00 11:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Human rights in Ukraine; it never was listed as Free by Freedom House

According to the Freedom house website Ukraine was Partly Free in 2009 (see here). So it can not have lost it's Free status in 2010 since it never had it... Even though Freedom house (on January 13, 2011) has said it has lost it's free status in 2010.. They don't know there own assessments it seems... Please colleague do not blindly trust media reports about Ukraine; for instance I have noticed, through personal contacts, Western media it often exaggerates the "Pro-Russiannes" of the Donbass and Crimea. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:41, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, sorry, my bad. It was down listed in "General Freedom". Not in Press Freedom. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:57, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
