[edit] Walt Whitman
Hey, thanks for doing some work on Walt Whitman and Leaves of Grass. I, for one, appreciate your addition regarding criticism on Leaves on Whitman's main space. You may notice I've been giving the article a massive overhaul, totally based on extensive sourcing. Though I know that Leaves was mostly criticized, there's no source for your addition. Do you happen to have one we can cite? Otherwise I'll add it in myself when I find it. Other than that, I invite you to join in the overhaul! Poor Walt's page is a heavy undertaking - he's a complicated fellow, with an overwhelming amount of research done on him, and his Wiki-page is a magnet for juvenile vandalism (which certainly discourages sincere editors). I hope you'll continue to help out!! --Midnightdreary (talk) 03:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Haven't seen you on the Whitman page for a couple days. I just nominated the article for good article - it'll probably be about a week or more before we get a response. In the meantime, not sure if you're good at this, but if you're willing, would you take a quick glance at it and see if the writing is okay? It all looks good to me but it's hard for me to critique my own edits. Once we get GA status, people can expand the Sexuality section and (especially) the Legacy section. But, I just want something passable for now. Let me know what you think! --Midnightdreary (talk) 02:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: MySpace account numbers
Unfortunately, there is no source at this time. But if you view the discussion page you can clearly see there is over 300 million accounts. I will try to find a reliable source, but I can't guarantee one. DiverseMentality (talk) 06:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edit dispute on Kardashev scale
In the last month or so there's been a edit dispute on the article, about what it is, who it was meant for, where the article needs to go, whether it needs to be split. Not of lot of people work on it, so there's very few people deciding these issues. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article, it's history, and talk page and put your two cents in at the bottom of the Talk:Kardashev scale page. If you could, it'd be really helpful.

[edit] Featuring Walt Whitman
I'm thinking about putting the Walt Whitman article up for featured article review. Are you interested in helping keep an eye on the review, responding to comments, and making any suggested changes? These tend to be sorta difficult and I could use the help. The whole process should take about three weeks or so once it's nominated before it gets passed or failed. Let me know. --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Quick question regarding your (very helpful) recent edits... Some of the info you moved to the legacy section seem (to me) more suited back in the poetic theory section. The lines in question: Whitman's work breaks the boundaries of poetic form and is generally prose-like.[1] He also used unusual images and symbols in his poetry, including rotting leaves, tufts of straw, and debris.[132] He also openly wrote about death and sexuality, including prostitution.[133] What do you think? --Midnightdreary (talk) 19:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I see your point. Maybe the solution is to have a full section for "Writing"? I think the Poetic theory stuff might be able to move under there too to help bulk it up a bit while we build it. --Midnightdreary (talk) 00:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's totally negotiable; I wouldn't fight with the idea of keeping "Writing" and "Poetic theory" separate. --Midnightdreary (talk) 01:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
