| == Thanks for bringing over [[Elizabethan Religious Settlement]] ==
| |
|
| |
| I hope I didn't get in your way in putting the subpage's template into the [[Elizabethan Religious Settlement]] page. [[User:JesseWeinstein|JesseWeinstein]] 14:13, 16 January 2008 (CST)

| == Novel article ==
| |
|
| |
| Alright Derek-- At your prompting, I have hacked out a section on Western antecedents of the novel. Let me know what you think; it's about all I got on the ancient novel for now.
| |
|
| |
| I might also chip in on the section on [[Jane Austen]]. It's been a while since I have done anything with Austen scholarship, but I'll try to contribute something.
| |
|
| |
| Do you know [[W.H. Auden|Auden's]] "Letter to Lord Byron", specifically the part about Austen?

| You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
| |
| Beside her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
| |
| It makes me most uncomfortable to see
| |
| An English spinster of the middle-class
| |
| Describe the amorous effects of 'brass',
| |
| Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
| |
| The economic basis of society.

| Somehow, I can't get the formatting right, but whatever. See you around, [[User:Brian P. Long|Brian P. Long]] 19:00, 25 April 2008 (CDT)

| == Definitions ==
| |
| Hi Derek--thanks for the definitions--but please see [[CZ:Definitions]]; there should be only one sentence (or period, anyway) per def. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 22:08, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

| == Helicopters ==
| |
|
| |
| Ah, it turns out that helicopters generate lift from forward motion too; if you can taxi one down a runway, you can take off with a heavier load than if you have to take off from a fixed location. Odd factoid of the day... :-) [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 12:41, 21 May 2008 (CDT)

| == Apples ==
| |
|
| |
| I've been trying my hand at a complex disambiguation page [[MAC]], and I used Mac as a form of apple fruit. Are we consistent? [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 14:34, 27 May 2008 (CDT)

|
| |
| == Apples ==
| |
|
| |
| Is there to be a disambiguated apple for the one that bonked Sir Isaac? (I've always cherished a cartoon where he's sitting under a tree, is bonked, raises a hand and declaims the law of gravity...then gets bonked again and goes '''???''')
| |
|
| |
| As to Newtons, definitely disambiguate. Aside from Sir Isaac and the unit, does there need to be further disambiguation between fig newton (food) and fig newton (energy delivered by the impact of a reference fig, at terminal velocity in a 1G field)? As my first signed article, under [[compartment control system]], it is my hope that some humor disambiguates CZ from WP.

| == Derek, could you fill me in on the definitions story? ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey Derek, I see that you are really involved with the Definitions project. When did the definition project begin and how is it going to be useful in the future? [[User:Tom Kelly|Tom Kelly]] 20:23, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| I personally am awed by your dedication to the definition stuff! Way to go! [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 08:22, 2 June 2008 (CDT)
