It's going to be more helpful if you help identify what material was taken from the book. Adding it to the bottom of each page doesn't really help a whole lot. It does achieve basic intellectual honesty which is better than nothing, but not enough. - Taxman ^Talk 18:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's a good point, footnotes or endnotes are preferable to bibliographies. I will get around to citing chapters and pages as my last act, but not in the next several days, as I have other things to do. And your are right, it is certainly more intellectual honesty than one typically finds around here, where literally thousands of insertions are made each day with no citations or sources whatsoevdr. I have little doubt that you are personally earnest in your desire to create a good work, but I am equally convniced it is a hopeless exercise, but one that undoubtedly gives you and others pleasure. My fear is that this venue and approach, given its prominence on search engines, also results in compounded factual errors and, what is worse, damage to reputations.

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ockham. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ockham~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
