New Playwright to Add
Hi, i have created a page under my userspace and would like to have someone look at it before i move it to the livespace. The page covers a current playwright. Can you assist? (Johnmhearn (talk) 04:46, 8 January 2009 (UTC))

Copywrights
I noticed you've made quite a lot of edits with a lot of information, but be careful that you're not just cutting and pasting from other websites, which may be a violation of copyright. In particular, I noticed that the Kristin Chenoweth edits you made were almost verbatim from her website, which bears a copyright warning at the bottom of the page.Kevin M Marshall 20:15, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Thank you for writing . . . I appreciate your concern and advice. I used the Chenoweth website for info, not a cut-and-paste job. There are only so many ways you can phrase the same piece of information in an intelligent fashion, so I'm sorry if I didn't substitute synonyms wherever possible to make it sound different. What I find curious is that you created her Wikipedia entry with so little data, since the entries I've created are fairly extensive. Was there a reason for that?


 * The information I've added in my edits has been culled not only from websites, but from encyclopedias, books, magazines, newspapers, etc., as well? Would these sources be considered copywrighted? Thanks! TOM 23:37, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

THANK YOU for all your advice and suggestions, as well as your compliment. I'll definitely take a look at the musical theatre entry (since that's one of my primary interests) and see what I can add. I appreciate your help and encouragement. TOM 14:22, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Musical Theater
Hello, Kevin - I spent a considerable amount of time on the musical theater entry today. Most of the original material remains, although I reorganized a lot of it so it's a more chronological order. I removed some of the sub-headings that had no data following them, and added quite a bit of text and several photos. I hope you like the additions. . . TOM 20:06, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Word to the wise
Kevin: An anonymous troll appears to have removed the notice for "Candide (musical)" from your user page. (It's best to add one's user page to one's watchlist, to ensure things like this don't happen.) CJCurrie 20:56, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I saw that you put your name on the the list of Wikipedians under classics. I am having trouble right now. Can you help? vanavsos, (I know that the name needs to be changed) is up for deletion can you help in the matter?

And I have another doosy for you, they have deleted [Classical definition of republic] from the Wikipedia it is here at: Wikinfo:Classical definition of repubic and I am having trouble at Talk:Republic, with your expertise can you help?

I have created a category for Classical studies if you are interested in our field Category:Classical studies. We need to defend our field. I have also created Classical definition of effeminacy and that seems close to coming on the chopping block as well. I surely need more guns (more Classicists) here at Wikipedia. Thanks for your time.WHEELER 17:02, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Check it out
We have an unmitigated disaster on our hands. SimonP has been given full rein in the classical political section. He has created mixed government, politeia, classical republicanism (that starts only in the 15th century), and has now moved republicanism to republic. The republic is a total disaster. And I am not allowed to edit or do anything there. We need a Pow-wow of sorts. To sort this matter out. The proper title of "mixed government" is "Republic" or at the least a "Classical republic". We have a disaster on our hands.WHEELER 16:47, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre
Hi! This is a note to let you know that I have just established WikiProject Theatre. Please come and join us in building up Wiipedia’s articles relating to theatre! Ganymead 18:01, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

U.S. Southern wikipedians' notice board
I have now reopened the notice board, if you are interested in contributing new topics, or in nominating articles for the Collaboration of the Week, which also received a revamp. Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest. Mike H 02:46, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Kevin
Thanks for your comments, Kevin, and thanks in advance for whatever help you can give. The article has spawned many "daughters" and it is hard to cover all of them. What a relief to know that you will give a helping hand. Thomas S. Major 03:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Native Latin speakers?
Greetings, fellow Latinist. If you have second, please cast your two cents in on the discussion of a category for native Latin speakers who are also Wikipedians. --Flex 13:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical
I understand you wanted some of the bold left behind. But in general, lots of bold is not a good idea, because bold indicates emphasis. Because it is the film that is important, I have removed the majority of the bold, but I have left the films and only the films of the winners in bold. Is this OK? - x42bn6  Talk  02:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I've given my ideas at Talk:Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. - x42bn6   Talk  06:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre Welcome
Thank you for becoming a member of WikiProject Theatre! With your hard work we hope to build a comprehensive compendium of theatrical knowledge here on Wikipedia. Since its founding in May of this year, not much has happened here so I have started a discussion on the project’s talk page to arouse some interest and discussion. There is also an updated list of items needing attention on the main project page. If you know of or happen to come across a theatre related article needing attention, feel free to post it on the page. Again, thanks for joining and I look forward to working with you! *Exeunt* Ganymead 19:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Help
You have, in the past have said some kind words and showed support for my work. I appreciate that. I have written two articles Cretan/Spartan connection can you check that out and see what you think and can I ask for a vote to make an "External link". Thanks for your time.WHEELER 01:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre
 Please check out the new design for the WikiProject Theatre page. You could say that "project page envy" led to the redesign. The French WikiProject Theatre page was much nicer looking than ours, so I spent a little time redesigning it. In addition, a theatre article assessment project has been started. This project aims to examine theatre articles, rate them and note what work needs to be done.

WikiProject Musicals
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because your name is listed as a participant in WikiProject Musicals (previously WikiProject Broadway) or I feel you may be interested in the project. It seems that the project has laid dormant for quite awhile, but I would like to work toward getting it up and operative. I have a few ideas that I've outlined on the talk page, and would love your input. Working together, I think we can signifigantly improve the quality of the articles relating to musicals on Wikipedia. &mdash; Music Maker  06:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of capitals by country
I have nominated List of capitals by country, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/List of capitals by country. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
