User talk:Tchula65/Sewell Peaslee Wright

'''Hello. I'm new to Wikipedia. I am doing my best to use the resources provided to learn Wikipedia but I think this is going to be a steep learning curve.'''

'''I'm compelled to take on this challenge because a volunteer project I work on reveals a lack of available Wikipedia pages for noteworthy authors of noteworthy works. I am volunteering to be the one to develop the Wikipedia pages for those authors. Please note: I am not a writer by profession or hobby. I see my role strictly as that of archivist. If this is in violation of Wikipedia rules, I'll abide by any verdict rendered.''' I appreciate help, guidance, patience and honesty with my development.

Self Notes At this point, I just might be talking to myself but I do ask a lot of questions so I will put them here.

I put questions out to the 'Editor Assistance/Requests' and got these answer:

Archivist writing Wikipedia pages I am interested in writing Wikipedia pages that do not exist for authors (noteworthiness tbd) with highly credible published works but I also volunteer for a group that creates audiobooks for works that are in the public domain. Is this a conflict of interest for me to do both if I am not a writer by profession or hobby but consider myself more of an archivist looking to fill a void? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchula65 (talk • contribs) Tchula65. Hello friend. This doesn't sound like a conflict of interest to me. A conflict of interest, in my opinion, is a strong financial or personal connection to a specific person or company. The only conflict of interest here might be writing about your volunteer group that creates audiobooks. Hope that helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:02, 10 April 2021 (UTC) 'most everybody here has tried our hand at creating articles about topics we think are notable enough to merit an article. Unless the author is paying you, there's no COI. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)



Bibliography Source I'm working on a bibliography for a writer but I am, in effect, duplicating the chronological bibliography of another source. Is this considered plagiarism if I am using the information but publishing it in a format I adopted from a bibliography from an already-published wikipedia page? If not, how do I credit the source (webpage) for the information I"m using from their page to create my page? I'd still like to credit the source for their work. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchula65 (talk • contribs) Tchula65, interesting question. I don't know the answer to this one. If you don't get a good answer here, you can always try posting at WP:CQ. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Follow-up: I reached out to the creator of the philsp.com website and I was able to get his permission to use the information on his page to build the bibliography:

That's fine - anything from the Fictionmags Index Family on philsp.com is freely available to anybody who wishes to use it.

If you could include a note of some kind referring to the Fictionmags Index and linking to http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/0start.htm I'd be grateful.

Authors G.W Thomas (DarkworldsQuarterly.gwthomas.org) and Michael May (MichaelMay.Online) draw parallels between Sewell Peaslee Wright's works (in addition to several noted science fiction writers) and that of several episodes of some of the most beloved television and movie science fiction series. G.W. Thomas credited Sewell Peaslee Wright with addressing the human-alien communication barrier with a device called the 'Menore" (a device that facilitated 'telepathic' communication) that became the source of inspiration for similar communication devices featured in both written and televised science fiction.
