User talk:Ilustick

Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. If you are indeed Ian Lustick then I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. However, on Wikipedia we try to follow several rules, among them WP:COI. If you are Dr. Lustick and you see an issue with your biography then we would ask that you note that on the article's talk page along with any verifiable sources for the change. Please let me know if you have any questions; you can reply here or on my talk page. Thanks,  nableezy  - 21:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

There are two little errors that should be corrected. I am at the University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State and the word to refer to a Jewish village in a rural area is spelled "shtetl" not "stetl." Ilustick (talk) 13:00, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I always pronounce it shtetl, but either haste or incipient dementia has, now not uncommonly, left my edits marred by such orthographic horrors. Penn State is also my fault: my brother studied under McCarg at the University of Pennsylvania and I should not have confused them.Nishidani (talk) 17:07, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * By the way, Nab, I don't think anyone would raise an objection to Dr Lustick's correction/copyediting of such details. The relevant policy adds:
 * "An exception to editing an article about yourself or someone you know is made if the article contains defamation or a serious error that needs to be corrected quickly. If you do make such an edit, please follow it up with an email to WP:OTRS, Wikipedia's volunteer response team, or ask for help on WP:BLPN, our noticeboard for articles about living persons, or the talk page of the article in question"
 * In my philologist's book, misspellings are serious errors, a principle I hew to under the influence of Karl Kraus who, as I added to his page, thought sloppiness in language, even down to misplaced commas, conduced to the decay of civilization, and political madness.Nishidani (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
