Question to the learned one

Am I allowed to sign an article in a non display way: "!--Researched and initiated by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )--! . I add it to articles where I am the sole author. I see nothing against it in the Wikipedia Bible. I started doing it to mark the ones I wrote before I created an account. One user Gzornenplatz removed them saying it was a "vanity". He went through all my articles. I only use it where I have initiated the article and am the sole contributor. What is your opinion? Now I spend time looking for the removal, that I would prefer to spend on research and writing. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 12:05, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Emergency Medicine

Hi,

Thanks kindly for your interest in the new Wikibook. I'd really appreciate your involvement and help in the early phase. Particularly:

1. Making the *template* as attractive and functional as possible

2. Improving the way I've formatted the chapters (the chapters have to remain the same, but maybe the pages need to be moved or just the layout improved somewhat by someone who's done this before). I took all the empty chapters away and just left the section headings. Then I created a new page listing where chapters *can* go once someone has begun them.

3. I need a little tutoring about how to create tables, how to create dynamic footnotes/endnotes, how to include boilerplate/template text (text which appears on the bottom of every page in the textbook) without re-pasting it in every time.

4. And YES, articles you suggested - with an Emergency Medicine perspective of course - would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Paris.

What is it about about Wikipedia that makes it so good? Why it is the GNU Free Documentation License. There happens to be about 3 dozen clone copies of Wikipedia on the WEB, but only one Dictionary of Alternative Medicine. Who ever said that the Project on Alternative Medicine did not succeed? Obviously they did not read the fine print about the GNU Free Documentation License. John Gohde 09:07, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
