Hi, Ottava. I just wanted to thank you for having this brought to my attention. You might be interested in what we're doing with your tip; we've launched a special "CCI" (special, since this isn't a contributor) and are planning to appeal to the relevant WikiProject for assistance. It's going to be a lot of work cleaning it all up, but certainly it is much needed, and the longer problems like this go unaddressed, the more tangled clean-up becomes. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:23, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I just stumbled across your story while looking up other things. Suffice to say, it's a whale of a tale. Being rather brutally honest, you were kind of like me back in 2007;
Good intentions, but poor execution.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you or be mean or cowardly. Seriously, you made some INCREDIBLE edits (a quick once-over of your edit history will back me up here), but looking over your block log tells me that you were always rather confromational (a Wikiversity fracas with the equally-legendary Abd springs to mind), and as such, you were always "riding the ragged edge of disaster", to quote Jim Davis. And you got tangled up with the ArbCom...there's a pit that's hard to get out of. Banned, even stripped of the ability to edit your own talkpage and reply to me. That's a rather stiff punishment, no? You must have really screwed up somewhere (I'm not going to dwell on that). Still, in my eyes, you deserve a...what is it now, twentieth chance? (just kidding). But there are a bunch of people who are behind you all the way. I'm not one of them....I know bog all about you, really.

This is a note to let the main editors of The Covent-Garden Journal know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 6, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 6, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The Covent-Garden Journal was an English literary periodical published twice a week for most of 1752. It was edited and almost entirely financed by novelist, playwright, and essayist Henry Fielding (pictured), under a pseudonym. The Journal incited the "Paper War" of 1752–1753, a conflict between a number of contemporary literary critics and writers, which began after Fielding declared war on the "armies of Grub Street" in the first issue. His proclamation attracted multiple aggressors and instigated a long-lasting debate argued in the pages of their respective publications. Initially waged for the sake of increasing sales, the Paper War ultimately became much larger than Fielding had expected. Further controversy erupted in June, when Fielding expressed support for a letter decrying the Government's 1752 Disorderly House Act in the Journal. His remarks were viewed by the public as an endorsement of the legality of prostitution. The final issue of the Journal was released on 25 November 1752. In its last months, poor sales had resulted in a transition from biweekly to weekly release. Ill-health and a disinclination to continue led Fielding to end its run after the 72nd number.

As I finish drafting material related to Lamia, I have some material for an article on an award winning poet for someone else to use to create a page.
Ryan Wilson (1982-) is an academic, editor, literary critic, and poet from Baltimore, Maryland. He is the office manager of the
Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, editor of Literary Matters, and an award winning poet and essayist. His first collection of poetry, The Stranger World, will be published in June, 2017.
Photo, released CC-BY-SA 4.0 according to ref 7
In 1982, Wilson was born in Griffin, Georgia. [1] He grew up in Macon, Georgia and graduated from Tattnall Square Academy in 2000. [2]
He has a B.A. (English) from the University of Georgia, an M.F.A. (Poetry) from The Johns Hopkins University, and an M. F. A. (Poetry) [3] from Boston University in 2008. [1] Currently he is a doctoral candidate at The Catholic University of America, and he serves as the Office Manager of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers and editor of Literary Matters, the association's digital literary journal. [2] He lives in Baltimore with his wife. [1]
His works have been published in 32 Poems, [1] Able Muse, [1] The Classical Outlook, [4] Dappled Things, [1] First Things, [1] Light, [1] The Hopkins Review, [1] Iron Horse Literary Review, [1] Measure, [1] Raintown Review, [1] River Styx, [1] The Sewanee Review, [1] The Sewanee Theological Review, [1] Unsplendid, [1] among others.
His first collection of poetry, The Stranger World was published by Measure Press in June 2017. [1] Mark Jarman said, "The Stranger World includes heartbreaking lyrics, haunting narratives, inspired translations, and finely honed satires... written with the authority of mastery." [2] Robert Pinsky wrote, "Ryan Wilson’s mastery of traditional forms serves a fresh, distinctive poetry of candor and meditation: soulful rather than brittle, more observant than performative. The idiomatic, American blank verse of Wilson’s 'Authority' and 'L’Estraneo' is as fluent as that of Robert Frost, but with an oblique tenderness that reminds me of Frost’s friend Edward Thomas." [2]
I updated the article proposed above for anyone to use it. As a disclosure, I know the gentleman (he is a bit of a big to do in the literary circles). I also have a lot of notes for Lamia and am looking for someone who would be interested in working with me. Drop me a note. Ottava Rima ( talk) 23:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Just a note: The Sewanee Review page has the Aiken Taylor award but not the breakdown of the other five titles: [11]. These should probably be listed in the same section (or change the section name to "Prizes"). Ottava Rima ( talk) 14:10, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
It's interesting that Ryan Wilson (poet) has just made its way into mainspace. You were right, Drmies: predictably, the quotes have attracted disagreement about their sourcing, and it would perhaps be best to reduce them to a summary as a compromise. We'll see how that pans out. -- RexxS ( talk) 17:18, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

As I finish drafting material related to Lamia, I have some material for an article on an award winning poet for someone else to use to create a page.
Ryan Wilson (1982-) is an academic, editor, literary critic, and poet from Baltimore, Maryland. He is the office manager of the
Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, editor of Literary Matters, and an award winning poet and essayist. His first collection of poetry, The Stranger World, will be published in June, 2017.

He has a B.A. (English) from the University of Georgia, an M.F.A. (Poetry) from The Johns Hopkins University, and an M. F. A. (Poetry) [3] from Boston University in 2008. [1] Currently he is a doctoral candidate at The Catholic University of America, and he serves as the Office Manager of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers and editor of Literary Matters, the association's digital literary journal. [2] He lives in Baltimore with his wife. [1]
His works have been published in 32 Poems, [1] Able Muse, [1] The Classical Outlook, [4] Dappled Things, [1] First Things, [1] Light, [1] The Hopkins Review, [1] Iron Horse Literary Review, [1] Measure, [1] Raintown Review, [1] River Styx, [1] The Sewanee Review, [1] The Sewanee Theological Review, [1] Unsplendid, [1] among others.

Thank you for uploading File:Streatham Park.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
