This article is the subject of a recent blog entry on Wired Blogs. See [1]. – RHolton ≡– 00:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I am the author of the blog entry mentioned above, and I have reinstated Sonia Green's entry based on the research I did for that blog post. A few sentences are taken directly from it, and are used with permission. Contact me if you have any questions. Thanks. AnnaleeNewitz 16:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
"with permission" isn't sufficient ... the text has to be placed under GFDL. You can read more about this at WP:Copyright. For now, I'm leaving those two sentences alone, as it's possible they can be rewritten to avoid the copyright problem or perhaps the wired article can be placed under GFDL. The sentences are: "Unlike many women of her era, Greene was independently middle-class.". This is directly from the Wired article. Perhaps a rewrite such as "Greene was independently middle class, unusual for women of that time". The second sentence is "She worked as a milliner -- a hat-designer -- at a posh department store and frequently traveled for her job" and actually isn't word-for-word anymore as "a hat-designer" has been replaced by a link to the milliner article, so I don't know if it's strictyl speaking a copyvio or not, but more of a rewrite would be better. I think there's a problem of WP:OR as well. I don't believe that Wired Blogs count as published, so this would be unpublished original research. In that case, both sentence when rewritten (or placed under GFDL) should have citations to published articles that support them. Brian 07:24, 17 June 2007 (UTC)btball
I was browsing the Amazon comments on the Necronomicon, which are always good for a laugh, and found this:
1 of 14 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Some of you could do with alittle research, November 23, 2004 By S. Stanton "sargonarcane" Concidering with alittle research done one would learn that H.P. Lovecraft met with Sonia Greene who dated the poet and magician Aleister Crowley. Crowley by all accounts had seen Dee's translation. So it is not hard to see how Lovecraft could have learned of it from her... also you could take into account Lovevraft was merely a liar.
as there's no mention of Crowley in the article, I was wondering if it's true. The fact that the writer says Lovecraft only met Greene when he in fact married her--and the spelling errors--don't fill fill me with confidence about the truth of it, but if it is true, it should be mentioned here.-- Yoyogod ( talk) 16:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
