Your edit on 'Nomad software'

Thank you for your comment pointing out: (The wikified [As of 2005] is a mechanism for maintaining currency in articles).

I apologize for being slow at absorbing proper wikification protocol, which I realize is not brain surgery. I scratched my head over that [As of 2005], but decided it had been a typo. (I suppose I should invest proper study time, and make myself current and competent; but the temptation can be strong to make a random contribution to an article I happen to be viewing.) I suppose that, as long as more experienced hands are ready to intervene when I stumble, I can't do too much damage in the interim.

Remembering NOMAD

If you are a long-ago NOMAD user (which seems unlikely, given your apparent age) then perhaps you remember Larry Smith, who did the original NOMAD marketing and training, and later become Director of Product Design. Larry was my business partner for two decades; we left NCSS together in 1979 and formed Hanson-Smith, Ltd. (Larry died, I'm sorry to say, in 1996.)

BTW, I thank you for your glowing comments. However, and despite what you say, it is still my responsibility to learn proper Wiki style, etiquette, and protocols. I'm glad that, in the interim, I can make my small efforts and rely on others to tidy up after me; but it would be churlish not to recognize and appreciate the assistance of others. So much important work is continuously being done – one might say out of sight and out of mind (or, stated otherwise, invisible and insane).

Who is Harrison Franklin?

Hello. I see you recently created the article Harrison Franklin, which reads in its entirety #REDIRECT[[Harrison Franklin]]. (You'd be surprised how often this happens!) Unfortunately, I cannot figure out who this person is, so can you fix the redirect? --Russ Blau (talk) 14:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! Fixed it by redirecting to Terry Burrows.—Theo (Talk) 15:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Local history

Theo, we're getting complaints from Oxford that the Local history article is a copyvio of some course materials of theirs. Can you give us any insight into this? The Uninvited Co., Inc. 23:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to believe them. I based that article on my notes from a course that I studied at Oxford. I do not recall using cut and paste to create the notes but I have cut and pasted tutor's texts into some notes and I must have done so here without annotating the source. I have deleted the sections taken from those notes. I will rewrite the article. —Theo (Talk) 00:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please review the History of English local history article as well? Same concerns there. Thanks! Shell ^babelfish 19:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harold Smith (football)

Hi, the initial article text for Harold Smith (football) includes the reference:

'Blues King Harold', Ipswich World 19 August 2006 p. 43 ISSN 5030616099339

That ISSN is wildly invalid as an ISSN only contains 8 digits, and as a result the page has been listed on Category:Articles with invalid ISSNs. Are you able to find the reference again and check the ISSN? Cheers, John Vandenberg 23:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will have a look. —Theo (Talk) 00:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
