Again, welcome!

On a more personal note, I've noticed your contributions to Thucydides. Excellent work. I wrote/rewrote most of the "Life" section. The rest of the article sorely needed attention, but I didn't really feel qualified to deal with it. So I'm very glad to see it getting some much needed attention. By the way, It turns out that you've done all your edits to "Thucydides" while not being logged on, so all your edits show up associated to your IP address 71.134.237.70, instead under your user name "James Sullivan". No matter really, just that it helps to be able to associates edits and users. Also I saw your note on the the talk page about possibly combining "Thucydides" with History of the Peloponnesian War, I think I would prefer to keep them separate. If you feel strongly about merging them, or simply want to hear my reasons, I would be glad to discuss it. Any way welcome again, and if you have any questions feel free to ask here or on my talk page, (just click on the little symbol — which hopefully looks like a little telephone — that follows my name in my signature.

Hi Jim. Thanks for your info about "lemma". It is nice to hear from somebody who actually knows what they are talking about. Now get back to work on Thucy ;-) Paul August ☎ 06:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image trouble

Hi, Image:Thucydides Manuscript Tenth Century.jpg is problematic, because the top half is clearly public domain due to age, but the modern text in the bottom half may or may not be copyright, depending on where it's from, and I can't find a mention of that on the source site. So it's a "no source" unless you can turn up the book it came from. Stan 16:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
