style issues

In your edit to Andrew Odlyzko, the link to economics of security failed to work because you capitalized the initial S in security. I fixed it and also created a redirect page with the capital S in the title so that any future links will be redirected to the correct title. Your edits to economics of security suggest you're using too many capital letters generally. You shouldn't capitalize the initial letter of a word merely beccause it's in a section heading or an article title. In links, the first letter is case-insensitive; the rest are case-sensitive. All this is treated in Wikipedia:Manual of Style and related pages such as Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), etc.

(I'm putting this comment at the top rather than the bottom to avoid the strange formatting created by Joe I's edit; I don't know how to fix that.) Michael Hardy 19:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Re Joe I's comments, feel free to top off...

Thank you for fixing my link on Andrew's page. He is an amazing scholar. I am unclear when in his life he left then-Communist Poland.

Sati and Job Charnock

Hi. I've moved the content of your paragraph on Charnock from the Sati article to the Job Charnock article (with some additions). Last time you added it, I commented it out pending some comments from you, though you did not return to comment. Two reasons; first that it was misplaced in the article (under compulsion). Second, that such measures as Charnock's were required generally of Mughal officers in the Mughal empire (see refs. and section under suppression in the Sati article), and till at least 1757, Calcutta can reasonably be considered part of the Mughal domain. Thus at the time, his measures only amount to another Mughal officer carrying out part of the policies required by Delhi. If you do wish to add it back, it should be placed in such context in the article, where there are sections on the suppression and control of the practice, both by the Mughals and by Europeans. Thanks. Imc 17:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree about where it should go, as it indicates both compulsion and voluntary sati. I disagree that it is merely an example of Mughal "suppression" of sati given the personal element. But I accept that you are more determined and will drop the matter.

License tagging for Image:Jeancampface.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Jeancampface.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Ann Althouse

Hi! I'm the guy who originally edited your contribution to this article Ann Althouse. Thanks again for your attitude. Just wanted to let you know that I am indeed aware of Simon Dodd's self-declared edit war - I TOLD you it would happen! :> Anyway, I certainly don't consider Mr. Dodd's revisions to be NPOV or helpful, but also don't know how useful it is for the "author" (ie me) to be defending and reverting back to their own work, though I'm pretty certain it's a less biased product, especially given Simon's declared status as a defender of Ms. Althouse over on her discussion board. If you would like to discuss this with me further, and especially if you're able to point me to some Wiki guidelines against making the entire thing into a one-sided apologetic, I would be most grateful.
