Ciao ! I've read your message on the Negri entry. You could in fact easily introduce that to Wikisource, help:adding texts but you just have to create a Wikisource account (see here intro. If that seems to much bother to you, what you can do is simply create a Wikipedia article for that text, and wait that a more experimented contributor just transfer all to Wikisource (this nice person will leave a template like that on the original Wikipedia page). Thanks for your contributions, cheers! Tazmaniacs 19:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

PS: I'll add that, especially if you contribute to some controversial subjects, you should absolutely follow the WP:Attribution guideline. In particular, the use of WP:Footnotes makes it very easy for everyone to know what is the source for each possibly controversial comment, and will insure that your text doesn't get deleted by someone who just doesn't like what you're saying... Let me know if you need any further help, ciao ragazzo ! Tazmaniacs 19:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your help. There may be questions regarding the validity of the text in question as a source. The problem, of course, is that the subject is one with scant published data. In this case it's a document produced specifically with defence POV in mind, in reference to a legal or legally entangled issue. Nonetheless, virtually anything, publsihed by a collective, as the doc in question is, or published commercially, will present a view more or less biased, and, as I suggested, there is a distinct lack of material on the subject. It only presents one side of the argument, but that still deserves to be aired. Perhaps you could take a look at it some time and see if it is suitable for Wikisource - if not, it's always possible I might find some other way of getting it online sometime in the future.

By the way, do you know what happened to Negri's picture on that page? I noticed that someone put up a request tag for a photo, despite the fact that the article had one, and then the photo disappeared afterwards! What is going on? There is no comment suggesting any copyright violation or anything - any ideas?

PS: Do you know how to tag ISBNs so they jump to the ISBN search page - someone has done it on the page on Autonomism but I can't see any special code at all.

Ciao, and thanks again for your response. LSmok3 01:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I did no addition, just a removal. rm=remove. I removed the flag from the nationaility field in the infobox and changed it to simply the text British per wp:mosflag. Garion96 (talk) 18:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh okay. Thanks for the response. LSmok3 (talk) 18:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

White Dwarf request
Hi LSmok3 I responded to your message on the White Dwarf page (hope it was useful). I would add to that message that I access to a near full archive of WDs, but how to get them to you? If you are interested in any specific articles let me know and I will see what I can do, perhaps I can send via an email attachment. - Quantockgoblin (talk) 22:45, 28 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, and thanks for your response. I followed the link you provided to the online index of issues, and went through up to issue 200 looking for various items. To reiterate, I am after a date and place of birth (which would make an infobox possible), and schooling details, although I doubt I will find these anywhere; any details on awards won (I currently only have Master Painter 1987, although there is a little clarification needed with regards to whether this was Golden Demon or Games Day); and perhaps an establishment of when Blanche actually became art editor. . . Also of interest was the details of certain regular columns and when they ran in WD, although this might be something better suited to the WD article itself, and something I would like to see it carry.
 * So, having crawled through the indexes, I have a list of articles that might perhaps have usable details. Some of the early ones are unlikely to have any mention of him, I think his role at GW came after 1986, but you never know, he may have contributed something on miniature painting suring the early years. . . The more important ones are from the '86 period onwards.
 * You mentioned the possibility of sending me the content - does that mean you have them all scanned, or have I misunderstood something there? If so, you might indeed be able to send them to me bearing in mind hotmail's 10mb attachment limit. Anything over that will have to be split up into more than one email. . . I'll also need the various details for citation purposes, but that's fairly easy to provide. Let me know what you think and I'll post you my email address.

 * Hi LSmok3, my e mail address is quantock_school "at" yahoo "dot" com, it might be easier to communicate via email rather than taking up space on this open forum? -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 23:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

D&D artists
Hopefully I have answered your challenge! 67.175.176.178 (talk) 13:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I checked the pages and you do indeed appear to have very uickly added the substantiating data. . . well done, no problem now. LSmok3 (talk) 14:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

White Dwarf reviews
Thanks for the add to Unearthed Arcana - I'd say that one is steadily improving. :) What kind of White Dwarf collection do you have? BOZ (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. I have a reasoanble collection ranging from issue 1 to issues just past 100; also a few of the 'Best Of' compilations. For that reason, I can only provide material for early D&D/AD&D 1st Ed., but if I see anymore articles needing info for those and have time I'll take a lookfor anything pertinent. Shame I don't actually have access to my almost complete collection of Arcane magazine, which contains loads for '90s era material, and collections of Imagine seem to be pretty rare. LSmok3 Talk 12:21, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, whatever you do have should be pretty helpful! :) It sounds like I've got a dozen-odd fewer WD's than you, and I've been going through the "Open Box" column and adding reviews to D&D subjects for a couple of months or so now. BOZ (talk) 16:20, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
