== Creating Articles == Good work creating new articles. When you create things, it helps tremendously to assign them to an accurate category (see WP:CG for info). If you're really not sure about categories, at least assign your new articles a stub category (see WP:SC for info). By assigning a category, you help make sure your new articles don't get lost as 'orphans' that are not associated with related topics. Feco 19:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I agree I really didnt look too hard, did a Google images search on Piers Plowman and picked the first one that had a plowman (it's one of the greatest hits medieval images). The article could easily benefit from 4 or 5 images, and this one could be superceeded by somthing else, it's a start. BTW your additions are excellent, the previous article was sadly lacking for a long time. Also welcome to the Medieval group. Stbalbach 01:49, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Why did you blank and mark for deletion the article Robert Crowley (c.1517–1588)? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 22:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It's recommended that the ratio of links to text not be too high, and red links should only be included when there's a good chance that articles will be written. I very much doubt that a Wikipedia article could be provided for either of these (both of them out-dated terms suitable at best for Wiktionary, the former extremely obscure).

That is an asinine style. Is T. S. Eliot American or English? I intend to post useful information; by the magic of wikipedia, editorial pedantry can be left to those who find it profoundly fulfilling. Dan Knauss
I'm afraid that I can't make much sense of this comment, whoever left it. However, to Dpknauss, wasn't it rather petty to change 'recognise' to 'recognize' in Vestments controversy, given the above? I realise that you're unwilling (or unable?) to use U.K. English spelling when you add text (e.g., 'humour'), but changing what's there is another matter.

Look, I did that reflexively. It's not how I spell. If you want to nit-pick that stuff, wait until I'm done. Dan Knauss 16:59, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I changed the capitalization of "Christian" in the recently added book title, because the eccentric capitalization follows how the title was actually capitalized in the original publication. (Early printed books frequently capitalize eccentrically.) Dan Knauss

A note of thanks for your contributions to this article. The Daniell book skips over Crowley in favour of Sternhold and Hopkins. One question: do you have access to a copy of Crowley's rendition of Psalm 24? The remainder of the article uses this as a reference point since it was rhymed in most of the various versions.

Thanks for contributing to wikipedia. The good and the bad of human behavior is here in cyberspace just as it is in meatspace. Please don't take the preening of the self-righteous too seriously. A "crime" in wikipedia-land is punished by being forbidden to edit for 24 hours! Imagine the immaturity you have to have for that to be a punishment. But the system works: the self-important do THOUSANDS of useful things every month to improve wikipedia and the immature DO feel punished for their immature disruptive behaviors. Just be aware "trust me" doesn't work in the context of wikipedia. Verifyablility is important. WAS 4.250
I would have emailed, but you didn't specify an address. Anyhow, I just wanted to say "Good work" on the Vestments Controversy article. Very professionally done.
I have a group of friends who get together regularly to discuss church history. This semester, we're focusing on the background to the Westminster Confession of Faith and our topic for this week is English Puritanism in the reign of Elizabeth I. I was about to write a synopsis of the Vestiarian Controversy when I discovered that your article covered the topic in much more depth than I would have been able to. (Which is unusual for Wikipedia, which often has pretty shallow treatment for topics like this.) Thanks again.

here I come :) ..Hello Dan,
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is
Edoardo and I'm coming from Italian Wiki. I'm keen about Geoffrey Chaucer and about his work: so, I decided to write a little page about one of his work,
Treatise on the Astrolabe. There is a problem: I know little about middle english, but I am not sure about my ability, so it would be pleasing to me to check if I really understand everything well. Do you know if there is a sort of paraphrase about Treatise on internet? I did not find it :(.
Thank you in advice :)
Welcome back to Wikipedia. Let me know if there is any way I can be of further assistance to you. Cheers, alphachimp 21:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Tnp.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Hello Dknauss, I'm a little student and not a great critic. My ability to write in English is quite bad, so be kind with me :P. I don't think we can compare so much Chaucer with Italians writer, just because Chaucer's work are quite different from Divina Commedia, Decameron or Il Canzoniere: Canterbury Tales and Chaucer's Troilus were only influenced by those works. I don't like compare writers coming from different country and writing in different language, because I'm only italian native-speaker and maybe I can't really understand the quality and the abilites of this writer :). Anyway, reading Canterbury Tales, I think there's no comparison between Chaucer and Dante, more between Chaucer and Petrarca. In my humble opinion, Boccaccio and Chaucer are very similar, but not the same - Boccaccio makes me tickled pink, Chaucer less :). Decameron is fantastic.. :P

It is a different thing altogether to judge the artistic merit of the two, which is invariably an effort to rationalize one's own tastes and preference for one thing over another. Such acts are interesting and informative in the area of literary history.
For instance, Chaucer became and English "great" when he was needed as such, or when such a thing was possible. In the English Renaissance and Reformation era, when there was an emerging English nation or state--which also happened to be officially Protestant with more and less official versions of the identity of the true church--a historical consciousness had to emerge as a matter of identity, faith and politics. What was one to do with the "medieval"--and "papist" past--which Chaucer was part of? various individuals and interests felt a need for an English literary canon of sorts and a pantheon of great authors, so they engaged in retrospective efforts to organize and authorize a usable past.
Under such processes, Chaucer had to be grafted onto older lineages, i.e. continental sources. One could say Chaucer was a successor to Italian greats, which ties him into the Latin, classical past with predecessors like Boccaccio playing the role of venerable fathers. Or if one had dislike of things Italian and Latinate, one could minimize their role and relevance, or say Chaucer is clearly superior, or simply regard him as an original, "pure English," in a rather nativist view of English history. People of this latter persuasion in the 16th century and after sometimes spun Celtic/Gaelic sources as significant, found "protestant ideas" in Chaucer, and created printed editions of the "Works of Chaucer" that imaged and sold him as such. Consequently there were--and remain--very different Chaucers accepted by different people for different reasons, and endless arguments as to what the "real truth" is/was.

Hi Dan, thanks for your notes in the article talk page, but if the stress is made on the TIGHAR allegations of post-downing signals having credence, then I think a great deal of opposing viewpoints should be addressed. The vast majority of historians and researchers have dismissed these late July 2+ signals as hoaxes, or simple confusion. FWiW Bzuk ( talk) 22:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC).

Hi. I've declined your speedy request for two reasons. One is that it isn't a valid reason to delete at CSD, and the other is because being defunct doesn't matter. I left this message on the talk page: "That doesn't matter on Wikipedia. If it was notable then, it still should be on here. George Washington's dead - do you think his article should be deleted? There are articles about many people and companies that are defunct - that's what an encyclopaedia is about. Directories only want to have current entities in their pages - but we're not a directory." Peridon ( talk) 19:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Dknauss, I'd like to invite you to an upcoming edit-a-thon:

- Madison Public Library (Madison, Wisconsin)
- Bring a laptop! There will be snacks and daycare
RSVP on the event page if you plan to attend or have any suggestions. czar 00:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
