[edit] Editing things

Hi, Lucy-S. I recently removed your addition of the Context convention from the Context disambiguation page, since there's no Wikipedia article to disambiguate from other "Context" pages yet. However, I would be happy to help you start a WP article on the convention, if you like. It has gotten mention in the Columbus Dispatch, at least, so notability may be established.

One other thing I noticed is that you added a note to the Gary A. Braunbeck article (along with several other edits) indicating that his wife is Lucy A. Snyder. If I make the assumption that you are that Lucy A. Snyder, you should also be aware of the guidelines on autobiography WP:AUTO. While it doesn't mention anything about writing about your immediate family, the spirit of the guideline still applies. I haven't looked at all of the edits, and I haven't seen anything that looks like it's non-neutral, but something to be aware of (I wasn't aware of it when I edited my own article).

Finally, if you add an external link to an article, don't mark the edit as minor. Adding wikilinks would (usually) be minor, but external links are more closely monitored, I've found.

I hope that my offer to help with the Context page offsets some of the "rulebook-thumping" tone of the rest of this message. It's always nice to see a professional writer take on some Wikipedia editing, so I am happy you're here. -- JHunterJ 16:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Context convention type

In Context you said in an edit summary "changed "literary" to "science fiction" for accuracy": speculative fiction, perhaps, since it covers fantasy and horror too? -- JHunterJ 12:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
