Stained glass

Hi MegaMom!

Thanks for your edits to Stained glass. I'm the main recent editor of that page. I've just incorporated your edits a bit differently, moving them up into the second paragraph. i've left out the bit about the solder because the process is explained in more detail further down. --Amandajm 11:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Hi Megamom,

Thanks agian for being part of this important task force.

Becuase as you know, Wikipedia's coverage of the Salem Witch Trials is absolutely terrible. Most of the people involved don't even have biographies written about them. Plus, the biographies that do exist are horrible. They are ridden with vandalism, nonfactual information, spelling and grammar errors, and they do not have a Neutral Point of View. Most of them probably have to be re-written! Also, most of the existing biographies are stubs anyway.

Unfortunately, besides you and I, we only have five other members. And seven people alone can not do all of this work!

Is it possible that you could help me and other members of the Task Force recruit more members?

And together, we can hopefully improve Wikipedia's coverage of the Salem Witch Trials.

Thanks.

Witch trails entry

Thanks for the heads-up on your response. Unfortunately, I'm also pretty new to Wikipedia, so I really wouldn't know how to go about properly adding an attribution\reference, either. I do think those additions would benefit from attribution to the published work, however. -ReverendTed 05:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, that's too bad. Your contributions, although few, led me to think that you were an experienced Wikipedian. Oh, well. I'll try to figure out the whole footnote process on my own. Thanks any way. MegaMom 06:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures?

FWD: There are so many wonderful renderings of key figures in these events, as well as many photos of historic sites and memorials available online. It seems that the introduction of more images would improve many of the biographies. Does anyone know anything about adding pictures to Wikipedia? It seems that much of this material would fall in the public domain. I'm unclear on the process of adding images. Any guidance would be appreciated. MegaMom 07:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This should help you: Wikipedia:Upload and Wikipedia:Images. - Psdubow 15:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Witchcraft article

Hello there, I've made some changes to the edits you recently made to this article, which I hope you'll be OK with. As the article is about witchcraft in its general, historical context (and not modern neopagan witchcraft only) I've reduced the overall length. I've also toned down the references to 'white witches' as I've never actually heard any of my fellow Wiccans refer to themselves this way. I suspect some newcomers to neopagan witchcraft do in fact use the term, but I think it's going too far to suggest that 'most' do. I also removed the sentence on 'black witches' as I have never, ever heard or read of neopagans using the term. If you have a reference for the claim, then of course you could cite this and re-insert the sentence. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 10:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay? I think your edits are great! Thanks so much for your help. As for the use of the terms "white" and "black" witches, I understand the point you are making. I have heard these terms used more in the context of simplified explainations provided to concerned outsiders or new comers. Drawing a distinction between their perceptions of witchcraft and actual practice can provide some measure of comfort. I'm not certain I could provide a citation for the whole black/white thing and it may not really be necessary. I'll give it some thought. Thanks again for your help.

SWTTF Newsletter

Hi MegaMom,

I was thinking about making a Salem Witch Trials Task Force Newsletter, that would be published once a month and it would be dleivered to all the members of the Task Force. It would sort of be similar to the Military History WikiProject Newsletter (latest Military History newsletter: June 2007 issue).

What do you think? Any thoughts?

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
