Please stop removing my personal attributions. If I wrote it, I want it to be identified as mine, so if someone has a problem they can talk to me about it. |

I dont want to hide behind anonymity, especially for my views on stuff like "The Renaissence never happened". |
|||
I dont mind it being edited, or even amended, but for scholarship to work you have to be able to stand behind your work. |

Make me upset about this, and I'll find that quote from St Jerome about proper attribution *grin* |

On the page [[Humanists]] I have added a section about SCA personas being humanists. It contains a bullet point beginning with the words " You can quote several Greek texts ...". Down the bottom someone's added a comment "Specific names to drop could be ...". Can you take that comment and do your HTML trick to make it a side-note to the bullet point above about greek texts? I'd do it myself but now I can't remember where you explained how to do it and my HTML skills are fairly rough. |
|||
I want to make some more "Your SCA Persona is a ..." bits on various other pages too but I'll get this one right first. |

===Hello from a Wikipedian=== |

Hi Tobin -- I noticed the article on [[Cunnan]] at Wikipedia, and dropped by to check it out. '''Very cool!''' I also noticed the authorship discussion. In case you aren't already aware of it, there are a lot of good resources at [http://meta.wikipedia.org Meta Wikipedia] and at [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WhyWikiWorks Meatball Wiki]. Good luck! [http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bcorr Wikipedia:User:Bcorr] [[User:64.91.162.225|64.91.162.225]] 04:51, 25 Dec 2003 (EST) |

So, any idea what the story with symbols is? I tried to move the †thelmearc page to the right spot and it said it couldn't submit the form. And you will have noticed that your recipe pages are a mess too. Also, your change of the name †thelmearc on the Kingdom page made no difference to me. I'm not sure if thie is a viewer specific thing. Oh, and get some sleep! |

Tobin, I have noticed that the [[List Keeper]] link redirects to [[List keeper]] which wants to redirect to [[Lists Officer]], but doesn't. Is this to be expected? -- [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]] 13:26, 17 Jun 2004 (EST) |

ps. the Aethelmearc above still looks funky to me, but not correct. |

Hi, I am a librarian at Central Michigan University and I added links to several of your pages dealing with national histories (see France and Germany). I was amused by the comical history attempts on the prior pages and thought I would add a link to better the histories. I was quite mystified to see these labelled as possible link spam. :] |
|||
I was going to blog Cunnan at my information literacy blog (lorenzen.blogspot.com) pointing out how outsiders can improve flawed history sites but if you think I am spam... |
|||
I appreciate your link vigillance. Could you let me know how you determine real link adds from spam? (Note what you reply may be used on my blog.) |
|||
Thanks, |
|||
Best wishes, |

Also hi back! By the way, I just pointed our local mailing list at your site, as they were beginning to start a scrambled wiki of their own, and the wikipedia format just works so much better. So...expect an influx, as Carolingia houses a lot of knowledgable but...err...vocal people. ;-) -- [[User:Metahacker|Metahacker]] 11:22, 25 Oct 2004 (EST) |

I have been trying to implement footnoting like wikipedia, by using the id attribute within a cite command (normal anchors don't work).

I've moved some old discussion to User talk:Tobin/Old (2005)
Hi back
Thanks. :) I've been in the SCA a good while, plus I'm opinionated, so a Wiki seemed like a good activity. Besides, I think what y'all have here is really great. Sabine
Also hi back! By the way, I just pointed our local mailing list at your site, as they were beginning to start a scrambled wiki of their own, and the wikipedia format just works so much better. So...expect an influx, as Carolingia houses a lot of knowledgable but...err...vocal people. ;-) -- Metahacker 11:22, 25 Oct 2004 (EST)
hi :) as we say on the wikipedia, "Be Bold" Tomislaus 23:46, 10 Aug 2005 (CDT)
Thanks for having me, I look forward to putting in some worthwhile content. I'm concentrating on areas local to me for now, so Outlands will be getting some attention. --Thorgrimr of Dragonsspine 17:41, 1 Aug 2005 (CDT)
Projects
Warning! I have taken youer name in vain.
On the new Cunnan:Projects page I have listed you as a participant in the Forme of Cury project, based on your contributions to that project so far. If you don't wish to be listed there please remove your name. Conrad Leviston 03:47, 10 Aug 2005 (CDT)
SIG invite?
You seem to be an admin. Do you think it would be okay if I invited the Slavic Interest Group onto here? One challenge is that I don't think that the SIG is limited to SCA people only. What's the cut-off policy between on-topic and off-topic here? The current page is http://slavic.freeservers.com/ and suffers from ads and lots of dead links. Tomislaus 07:15, 11 Aug 2005 (CDT)
Blocked User 210.....
This person has spammed Cunnan --User 144 13:29, 13 May 2006 (EST)before in the exact same way. It might be an idea to consider a longer ban than usual.
Thorgrimr's suggestion
Hi, I just got this message from Thorgrimr, and thought it was more appropriate for you:
- My jaw about hit the ground when I saw what version of the wiki you are running here, it's sorely outdated even for the 1.4 series. Might I suggest a significant upgrade (1.6.7 comes to mind) and installation of two extensions that will curb so much of your spamming traffic.

A message for you from Lochac Masonry
Hi Tobin,
Apparently masonry@lochac.sca.org, the admin and assets side of the kingdom, wants to contact you but doesn't have Skype. Could you please tell them how else to contact you.
