I'm looking forward to working with your class during the semester - if you have any questions about the project or Wikipedia in general, please feel free to leave me a note at User talk:Awadewit. Wikipedians are here to help you! Awadewit (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

heads up
Heya, just to point out that if you look here you'll see that User:EyeSerene has volunteered to give special help to your article, The Kingdom of this World. Of course, you guys are to take the lead, and above all do the research required to improve the article. But you should definitely feel free to contact EyeSerene on his talk page. You'll find he's very friendly and knowledgeable about writing for Wikipedia, and will give you as much help as he can.

Incidentally, you should also (as I mentioned before) be putting our project page on your watchlist, so you can see changes like this one. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:32, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hi -- I've noticed you're responding to the GA review at Talk:The Kingdom of this World/GA1 by striking out the issues you feel you've dealt with. Just as an FYI, it usually works better to put a note under the comment explaining that you think the issue is dealt with. That way, the original reviewer can strike the comment when they think it's done -- which is what counts. Then you can visually quickly see what's resolved. If you do the striking out, then you can't be sure what's truly resolved. You could ask Lampman how he'd like to do it, or let it go as is; or you might want to undo the strikeouts and add comments instead. It's not wrong to do it the way you've done it, but it's not the usual way. Good luck with the GA review! Mike Christie (talk) 23:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input Mike, will do!

Image
That ebay auction seems to have ended and the image isn't showing (though that may be the restrictive filter I have to cope with at work!). Technically the seller, assuming it was them who took the picture, owns the copyright to the photograph but obviously not the cover art itself. I'm not sure how that affects the situation - I'll ask someone with more expertise for their thoughts. EyeSerene talk 09:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, an expert opinion can be found here. It looks like we're all right to use the image (which I can now see from home), though it might need trimming and reducing in size to comply with the "low resolution" clause for reusing non-free content. If you need a hand with doing that and/or uploading and licensing, let me know! EyeSerene talk 15:44, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank so much, EyeSerene! I will reduce the size and crop it to just the actual book. It's great to be able to use this after a LONG search.


 * See File:The Kingdom of this World Eng 1st Ed.jpg. I adjusted the perspective to straighten out the image, cleaned up the edges where the paper cover had torn, and reduced the image scale. I'll leave it to you to put it in the article :) EyeSerene talk 10:17, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
