---- Good evening. I'm IHCOYC, a handle I have been using on Usenet since around 1995, and on BBSs since maybe 1984. The handle deserves an explanation. There was a Commodore 64 BBS back then that ran homebrewed software that displayed data in ALL CAPS. When choosing a handle to use there, I was momentarily moved to call myself IHCOYC XPICTOC (that is, IHΣOYΣ XPIΣTOΣ) to see if anyone got the joke. If you wonder what it stands for, think Greek_language. On a recent caprice, I have recently changed my handle here to "Smerdis of Persia of Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." Later, I was one of the operators of the Microdot Bulletin board system that operated in southern Indiana from 1985 to 1999. I still miss the BBSes. My real name is Steve Gustafson. I practice law in New Albany, Indiana. My interests include Indo-European, Germanic_peoples, and Latin linguistics, nineteenth century French literature, the English Civil War, the Reformation, the 1600s. I am a proud member of the empty set, and a thorough and methodical pessimist. I am neither the ''Invictus'', nor the ''master of my soul''. And I have no interest in ''[http://ps.wikipedia.org/wiki.cgi?If- filling the unforgiving minute]'' with ''sixty seconds worth of distance run''.

Older discussions are now at: * User talk:Ihcoyc/archive 1 * User talk:Ihcoyc/archive 2 ==St Sebastian as a Gay Icon== Ihcoyc, you created the St Sebastian node. Most recently it's been put forth by User:CheeseDreams in Talk:Christian_art that the St.Sebastian icon has always been a gay icon. Similarly in the St.Sebastian node, 156.34.71.245 added that throughout history St. Sebastian has been a gay Icon. I encourage you to look at the St Sebastian node, as I am not aware of its use in homoerotic art. Feel free to untangle and fix the Christian art page as it has a disputed section containing St Sebastian's painting. User:Sp00n17 02:00, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC) The St.Sebastian discussion and node has been moved to Sexuality and Christian Art. I encourage you to upgrade the description of how the St.Sebastian image can be seen as sexual to a decription on the main page. User:Sp00n17 08:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) ---- ==Looking for your opinion== Having seen History of Bible translation, I am reaching the opinion that it may be better to start over entirely than to salvage much of McAfee. You have any thoughts on this? I trust your instincts and your knowledge of the subject area. I don't want to propose scrapping the article and starting over lightly, so I thought I'd bounce it off of you. Thanks. User:Jwrosenzweig 20:09, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC) :The McAfee text needs major reworking and NPOV edits, but is perhaps serviceable if only as a guide to names and events. The King James Version of the Bible article has also has had a lot of panegyric added to it, that reads like it is from the same or a similar source. Most of the information in the McAfee text is also available in somewhat more digestible forms in the various articles on individual Bible versions; there are separate articles on Great Bible - Geneva Bible - Bishops' Bible and so forth. :I had the idea of putting together a Timeline of English Bible translations or something similar, and treating at least the main sequence of published English Reformation era Bibles as a sequence similar to the ones that exist for kings and emperors, and with a table directing readers to others. I fear, though, that it may break down in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It may be desirable to distinguish projects like the RSV and NKJV that have in some sense been "forked" from the KJV tradition, with new versions like the NIV, the Living Bible lineage, and so forth. With this in place, what's worth saving of the McAfee text could be moved to pages on the individual versions it relates to, where it could be worked on more handily. :I may have time after this week is over to start something like that. -- User:Ihcoyc 20:35, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC) ::I just feel that the article is going to be too large. It suggests a history of all translative efforts....and the Bible is in something over 300 languages, isn't it? Probably many more. I suppose if we move it to History of Bible translations in English or something like it, it would be serviceable. It still daunts me. :) I love the timeline idea, though, and will help if I can.

User:Wetman 12:37, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC) :Not sure whether I'd say that ogee clocks are in a "Gothic taste," although they were big during the Victorian Gothic revival. But the form is largely determined by the function; in a typical weight driven ogee clock, the weights descend in the sides on either side of the clock mechanism itself. There is also a frequently encountered type of antique clock that is more Gothic in inspiration, sometimes called a cathedral clock, which has a pointed or arched body usually framed by two turnings that end in pointed finials. These clocks are usually spring driven, mostly because it's harder to make enough room for the weights in one. -- User:Ihcoyc 14:33, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi Ihcoyc, question for you at Image_talk:Matahari.jpg.

Best of wishes and a pleasant afternoon/evening to you (if afternoon/evening it is, in your time zone), User:Jwrosenzweig 22:33, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC) ---- ==KJV Copyright== I've just come across the article about the KJV Bible and seen the claim about its copyright status. It was originally inserted by an anonymous user, but you updated the article's copyright section to its current form. From my knowledge of intellectual property law in the UK, albeit from the perspective of a non-lawyer, claiming the KGV Bible is in copyright is completely ridiculous. Crown copyright lasts 50 years from date of publication for one. Ordinary copyright lasts life of the author plus 70 years. Finally, the KJV Bible was published 100 years before the first copyright law was ever written! So, I would like to ask you what the basis of that copyright claim is? Please quote the relevant statute law or from an authoritative law text (with a reference so I can check) about the copyright status. Otherwise, I will be forced to conclude that the claim is simply FUD by those who are ignorant of the law. User:David Newton 17:59, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC) :As an American, I don't have easy access to resources for researching UK law. However, the claim about the perpetual crown copyright status of the KJV is mentioned in the ''Oxford Companion to the Bible'' (ISBN 0195046455) and I assumed that they know better than I. This [http://latis.ex.ac.uk/library/faq.htm FAQ from a UK library] also repeats the claim that the KJV is perpetual crown copyright in the UK.

I have tried to restructure and write it, but this is a massive subject and too big for my brain or literary experience. I know you take an interest in these things, and thought you might want to give it a look -- there are huge sections left completely unwritten, and those sections that are written probably need expansion. If you don't care, don't think twice, but I tried to think of who I thought would have the knowledge and interest to help out, and your name popped up. Hope you're having a good week, User:Jwrosenzweig 00:09, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC) ==Tlön== Given that you sign as "Smerdis of Tlön", I wondered if you've had a look at Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

User:Ihcoyc 11:37, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Great userpage.. - User:Sigg3.net 16:18, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi, I'm the person who originally revamped and expanded the article on [[kitsch]. I see you put in an image of September Morn. I know about the history of the painting and the artist, Paul Chabas, and though I agree that there are problems with his art, I don't necessarily agree that its kitsch. Or, at least, I think I could find a more strong example of something that is kitsch. As is evident I wrote a section about academic art in the article discussing how it was once considered equivalent to kitsch and now there is reassessment. Chabas wasn't really 'academic' per se but he followed that tradition. His paintings are less strong than his predecessors, and his oevre gets a bit silly once you realize that 95% of his painting is of bathing women. But there are some merits to some paintings, particularly September Morn. I was wondering if it would be okay with you (I would rather work with others as a courtesy) if say, I put a stronger example of kitsch in its place, or maybe move Chabas' painting or another academic-like work into the section on academic art and kitsch. User:Brianshapiro :I put that there because the Kitsch article is on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates (great job BTW -- I nominated it) and one of the people there suggested that illustrations were needed. I tried to think of things that were already there that would help, and September Morn and the Las Vegas image were the first things to come to mind, and I knew they were already here. I looked at the illustrations at Academic art, and those struck me as not as good for the Kitsch article --- the ones chosen there are rather nicely dramatic compositions IMO, and so examples of Good Academic Art. ::(FWIW my personal opinion is that Greenberg's contrast between "kitsch" and "avant-garde" is deeply flawed. It played into the hands of charlatans, and as such the high culture of the twentieth century will likely end up a laughing stock for future generations.) :But, by all means, go ahead: if you have better examples of kitsch paintings in the public domain, upload them and use them. Finding the public domain images may be difficult, and there are few art books of my knowledge devoted to the full colour reproduction of kitsch materials. -- User:Ihcoyc 00:45, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC) Hi, did you mean to protect :Image:Sawyercave.png? It wasn't on Wikipedia:Protected page, so I assumed it was accidental, but thought I should check in case it wasn't.

You know that "Skull-into-Beauty" corny lithograph that used to be in the window of every head shop? I long to see it there too.... Though Werewolf is passable and there's a good Serpent entry and Christian Cross is pretty good, Wikipedia needs some analytic history of Sacred Bull, Dove (mythology), Bee (mythology) etc etc...

== Sub-categories ==
Please review the articles on Category system. Note especially that for A to be a sub-cat of B, it must be a matter of definition that every article in B has the property that defines category A. Which is why (with rare exceptions that it doesn't appear most of us need to worry about) any article in a given category should, if it also meets the requirements for one of its sub-categories, be removed from the (parent) category and added to the subcategory instead. (Or, if it could belong to two of them, it should be removed to both of them.)
I hadn't thot about it until i saw what you did with French poets and French-language poets, but another consequence is the fact that if two categories were defined in ways that made them subcategories of each other, we would want to move all of one's members to the other, and delete the empty one that resulted.
I fixed ''both'' of those cats, but you'll notice that removals don't usually get reflected immediately, sometimes for hours. In this case :Category:French poets is waiting for the system get to it.
On the other hand, any others you did like that need someone to fix them. Tnx, --User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 18:01, 2004 Sep 16 (UTC) :There isn't really a way to cross-reference these things, or is there? Of course, "French poets" is somewhat ambiguous, but it might mean poets, citizens of France, writing in Breton or Flemish; while some of the "French-language poets" are citizens of Canada, the USA, Uruguay, or Belgium, and so forth. It struck me that some of the poets are misclassified because of this vagueness. Is the only solution, then, to add all of the "French poets" who wrote in French to "French-language poets" so they can be found from either category? This looks ugly and odd to see both :Category:French poets and :Category:French-language poets among the categories on the same page, and I can see this making trouble as well. FWIW, this is the only category I've found that presents this particular problem. User:Ihcoyc 19:53, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC) Re the item you put only on my page: What, don't you think your talk page should be designated as the bio of a French poet? [wink] People are indeed adding cross refs to cat pages. I'm not sure i've noticed any of them targetting other cats, but using the colon trick meets the obvious objection. As far as i've thot about that, i like that kind of xref. The vagueness of "French" is limited by such cats' descent from :Category:People by nationality, and it can be much more directly limited by putting what i call "annotations" in the body of the cat page, specifying their scope. Admittedly that's still indirect. Perhaps it's just a matter of readers getting saavy enuf to link to the cat pages. Perhaps we should push the developers to make "hovering" the link to the cat display "For clarification of the category of French poets, follow this link."
Good question, to which i have an answer, but not necessarily a good one: On reflection, if i were you, i would experiment by moving everyone eligible into :Category:French poets of the French language, or :Category:French writers of the French poetry and see if it ends up on w:CfD. It would of course be a subcat of both of the cats in question. At worst, the deletion discussion will be an opportunity to put more minds on the problem. Best wishes.

User:Fishal 04:54, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC) * A radio had played a Beatles song a few minutes before I started adding grammatical negation, so it was the first thing that popped into my head. User:Ihcoyc 16:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC) ==Matriarchies in mythology== Aloha. I'm in the process of NPOV'ing this article, as well as attributing sources, authors and refs. Could you please provide a citation for your recent additions? If you want, feel free to add some substantiating refs on the Talk page. Also, the comments you are "rebutting" do not claim that the worship of female deity equates with a higher status of women, but in fact states, ''where the Minoan Great Goddess [were worshipped]...women and men were apparently equals.'' Equality is not the same as a "higher status of women", so your paragraph sounds more like a straw man argument. Does the article claim that the worship of female deities equates with a higher status for women? I don't see that in that article, but I could be wrong. Finally, your comments on the legal status of women in Spain and the Netherlands sounds like a false analogy coupled with the former straw man. The reasons for the legal status of women in both countries are entirely different, and have no bearing on the worship of a female deity. Of course, this is probably not your claim but merely reflects the opinion of someone else, so if you could post a cite that would be great. Thanks in advance. --User:Viriditas 04:14, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC) :I am fairly certain that I first encountered that line of reasoning in Ronald Hutton's ''The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles''. It's also alluded to in the second edition of Stephen Goldberg's ''Why Men Rule: The Inevitability of Patriarchy''. User:Ihcoyc 11:34, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC) ::Thanks for your prompt reply. Since I am trying to promote a NPOV, I would like to frame each claim within the context of the original author or authors. There are a number of reasons for doing this, particularly the attributing of claims and counterclaims. For example, there are objections to Eller's claims, and those should be identified in context. Would it be possible for you to attribute "that line of reasoning" with a specific claimant? For example, "According to Goldberg and Hutton, more recent history gives little reason to believe..." I appreciate your effort in this endeavor and I again, thank you in advance for any time you can spare in promoting a NPOV. --User:Viriditas 02:14, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC) :: I apologize for sounding like a broken record and harping like a seal, but who is it that ''assumes'' the worship of female deities "equates with a high status for women"? I don't see how equality equates with "high status", and I don't see any authors in the article making such a claim. Again, this appears to be a straw man and should be rephrased. What do you think? --User:Viriditas 04:55, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC) :::That would be the people, whoever they are, who are asserting that in Minoan Crete there existed a "goddess culture" of sexual egalitarianism, and who are making that claim a few paragraphs up. Truth is, we know little about the law of Crete, except that they were very good at tax collection. The claim of a "goddess culture" is an argument from iconography; the business about Spain is a counter-argument from iconography. :::I'm going to copy these comments to the talk page of the article; it might be easier that way.User:Ihcoyc 13:48, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Simple pronunciation guide == Thanks for pointing to your pronunciation guide proposal in the Wikipedia space.

If you're still interested in the subject, and see any virtue in my approach, your suggestions on the Wikipedia_talk:Pronunciation (simple guide to markup, American) would be most welcome.--User:NathanHawking 03:35, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC) == Bloody Mary theory == I removed the section you had added to the Bloody Mary article that red: ''"The folklore about taunting Bloody Mary about her baby may relate her tenuously to folklore about Queen Mary I. The queen's life was marked by a number of miscarriages or false pregnancies. Had Mary I successfully born a child, this would have established a Roman Catholic succession and threatened the continuance of her religious persecutions after her death. The continuance of her political and religious plans was contingent on her bearing a child, and as such she tried desperately to conceive one."'' My reason for doing so was that it was uncited and contradicts what the main references have to say on the topic. Was this original research (or theorizing as the case may be), or did you get that from some source that we could give an attribution to? Thanks, User:DreamGuy 16:04, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC) :A number of online sources relate some sort of link between the legend and the queen.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I see that you were the original author of the Saturnian and should be thanked and acknowledged. As for the treatment of the form, I doubt very much things have changed much since Allen and Greenough! The handbooks are just too shy to treat such a famously difficult problem.

---- Good evening. I'm IHCOYC, a handle I have been using on Usenet since around 1995, and on BBSs since maybe 1984. The handle deserves an explanation. There was a Commodore 64 BBS back then that ran homebrewed software that displayed data in ALL CAPS. When choosing a handle to use there, I was momentarily moved to call myself IHCOYC XPICTOC (that is, IHΣOYΣ XPIΣTOΣ) to see if anyone got the joke. If you wonder what it stands for, think Greek_language. On a recent caprice, I have recently changed my handle here to "Smerdis of Persia of Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." Later, I was one of the operators of the Microdot Bulletin board system that operated in southern Indiana from 1985 to 1999. I still miss the BBSes. My real name is Steve Gustafson. I practice law in New Albany, Indiana. My interests include Indo-European, Germanic_peoples, and Latin linguistics, nineteenth century French literature, the English Civil War, the Reformation, the 1600s.

Older discussions are now at: * User talk:Ihcoyc/archive 1 * User talk:Ihcoyc/archive 2 ==St Sebastian as a Gay Icon== Ihcoyc, you created the St Sebastian node. Most recently it's been put forth by User:CheeseDreams in Talk:Christian_art that the St.Sebastian icon has always been a gay icon. Similarly in the St.Sebastian node, 156.34.71.245 added that throughout history St. Sebastian has been a gay Icon. I encourage you to look at the St Sebastian node, as I am not aware of its use in homoerotic art. Feel free to untangle and fix the Christian art page as it has a disputed section containing St Sebastian's painting. User:Sp00n17 02:00, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC) The St.Sebastian discussion and node has been moved to Sexuality and Christian Art. I encourage you to upgrade the description of how the St.Sebastian image can be seen as sexual to a decription on the main page. User:Sp00n17 08:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) ---- ==Looking for your opinion== Having seen History of Bible translation, I am reaching the opinion that it may be better to start over entirely than to salvage much of McAfee. You have any thoughts on this? I trust your instincts and your knowledge of the subject area. I don't want to propose scrapping the article and starting over lightly, so I thought I'd bounce it off of you. Thanks. User:Jwrosenzweig 20:09, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC) :The McAfee text needs major reworking and NPOV edits, but is perhaps serviceable if only as a guide to names and events. The King James Version of the Bible article has also has had a lot of panegyric added to it, that reads like it is from the same or a similar source. Most of the information in the McAfee text is also available in somewhat more digestible forms in the various articles on individual Bible versions; there are separate articles on Great Bible - Geneva Bible - Bishops' Bible and so forth. :I had the idea of putting together a Timeline of English Bible translations or something similar, and treating at least the main sequence of published English Reformation era Bibles as a sequence similar to the ones that exist for kings and emperors, and with a table directing readers to others. I fear, though, that it may break down in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It may be desirable to distinguish projects like the RSV and NKJV that have in some sense been "forked" from the KJV tradition, with new versions like the NIV, the Living Bible lineage, and so forth. With this in place, what's worth saving of the McAfee text could be moved to pages on the individual versions it relates to, where it could be worked on more handily. :I may have time after this week is over to start something like that. -- User:Ihcoyc 20:35, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC) ::I just feel that the article is going to be too large. It suggests a history of all translative efforts....and the Bible is in something over 300 languages, isn't it? Probably many more. I suppose if we move it to History of Bible translations in English or something like it, it would be serviceable. It still daunts me. :) I love the timeline idea, though, and will help if I can.

User:Wetman 12:37, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC) :Not sure whether I'd say that ogee clocks are in a "Gothic taste," although they were big during the Victorian Gothic revival. But the form is largely determined by the function; in a typical weight driven ogee clock, the weights descend in the sides on either side of the clock mechanism itself. There is also a frequently encountered type of antique clock that is more Gothic in inspiration, sometimes called a cathedral clock, which has a pointed or arched body usually framed by two turnings that end in pointed finials. These clocks are usually spring driven, mostly because it's harder to make enough room for the weights in one. -- User:Ihcoyc 14:33, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi Ihcoyc, question for you at Image_talk:Matahari.jpg.

It was originally inserted by an anonymous user, but you updated the article's copyright section to its current form. From my knowledge of intellectual property law in the UK, albeit from the perspective of a non-lawyer, claiming the KGV Bible is in copyright is completely ridiculous. Crown copyright lasts 50 years from date of publication for one. Ordinary copyright lasts life of the author plus 70 years. Finally, the KJV Bible was published 100 years before the first copyright law was ever written! So, I would like to ask you what the basis of that copyright claim is? Please quote the relevant statute law or from an authoritative law text (with a reference so I can check) about the copyright status. Otherwise, I will be forced to conclude that the claim is simply FUD by those who are ignorant of the law. User:David Newton 17:59, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC) :As an American, I don't have easy access to resources for researching UK law. However, the claim about the perpetual crown copyright status of the KJV is mentioned in the ''Oxford Companion to the Bible'' (ISBN 0195046455) and I assumed that they know better than I. This [http://latis.ex.ac.uk/library/faq.htm FAQ from a UK library] also repeats the claim that the KJV is perpetual crown copyright in the UK.

I have tried to restructure and write it, but this is a massive subject and too big for my brain or literary experience. I know you take an interest in these things, and thought you might want to give it a look -- there are huge sections left completely unwritten, and those sections that are written probably need expansion.

User:Ihcoyc 11:37, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Great userpage.. - User:Sigg3.net 16:18, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi, I'm the person who originally revamped and expanded the article on [[kitsch]. I see you put in an image of September Morn. I know about the history of the painting and the artist, Paul Chabas, and though I agree that there are problems with his art, I don't necessarily agree that its kitsch. Or, at least, I think I could find a more strong example of something that is kitsch. As is evident I wrote a section about academic art in the article discussing how it was once considered equivalent to kitsch and now there is reassessment. Chabas wasn't really 'academic' per se but he followed that tradition. His paintings are less strong than his predecessors, and his oevre gets a bit silly once you realize that 95% of his painting is of bathing women. But there are some merits to some paintings, particularly September Morn. I was wondering if it would be okay with you (I would rather work with others as a courtesy) if say, I put a stronger example of kitsch in its place, or maybe move Chabas' painting or another academic-like work into the section on academic art and kitsch. User:Brianshapiro :I put that there because the Kitsch article is on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates (great job BTW -- I nominated it) and one of the people there suggested that illustrations were needed. I tried to think of things that were already there that would help, and September Morn and the Las Vegas image were the first things to come to mind, and I knew they were already here. I looked at the illustrations at Academic art, and those struck me as not as good for the Kitsch article --- the ones chosen there are rather nicely dramatic compositions IMO, and so examples of Good Academic Art. ::(FWIW my personal opinion is that Greenberg's contrast between "kitsch" and "avant-garde" is deeply flawed. It played into the hands of charlatans, and as such the high culture of the twentieth century will likely end up a laughing stock for future generations.) :But, by all means, go ahead: if you have better examples of kitsch paintings in the public domain, upload them and use them. Finding the public domain images may be difficult, and there are few art books of my knowledge devoted to the full colour reproduction of kitsch materials. -- User:Ihcoyc 00:45, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC) Hi, did you mean to protect :Image:Sawyercave.png?

I hadn't thot about it until i saw what you did with French poets and French-language poets, but another consequence is the fact that if two categories were defined in ways that made them subcategories of each other, we would want to move all of one's members to the other, and delete the empty one that resulted.

Tnx, --User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 18:01, 2004 Sep 16 (UTC) :There isn't really a way to cross-reference these things, or is there? Of course, "French poets" is somewhat ambiguous, but it might mean poets, citizens of France, writing in Breton or Flemish; while some of the "French-language poets" are citizens of Canada, the USA, Uruguay, or Belgium, and so forth. It struck me that some of the poets are misclassified because of this vagueness. Is the only solution, then, to add all of the "French poets" who wrote in French to "French-language poets" so they can be found from either category? This looks ugly and odd to see both :Category:French poets and :Category:French-language poets among the categories on the same page, and I can see this making trouble as well.

Could you please provide a citation for your recent additions? If you want, feel free to add some substantiating refs on the Talk page. Also, the comments you are "rebutting" do not claim that the worship of female deity equates with a higher status of women, but in fact states, ''where the Minoan Great Goddess [were worshipped]...women and men were apparently equals.'' Equality is not the same as a "higher status of women", so your paragraph sounds more like a straw man argument. Does the article claim that the worship of female deities equates with a higher status for women? I don't see that in that article, but I could be wrong. Finally, your comments on the legal status of women in Spain and the Netherlands sounds like a false analogy coupled with the former straw man. The reasons for the legal status of women in both countries are entirely different, and have no bearing on the worship of a female deity. Of course, this is probably not your claim but merely reflects the opinion of someone else, so if you could post a cite that would be great. Thanks in advance. --User:Viriditas 04:14, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC) :I am fairly certain that I first encountered that line of reasoning in Ronald Hutton's ''The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles''.

The queen's life was marked by a number of miscarriages or false pregnancies. Had Mary I successfully born a child, this would have established a Roman Catholic succession and threatened the continuance of her religious persecutions after her death. The continuance of her political and religious plans was contingent on her bearing a child, and as such she tried desperately to conceive one."'' My reason for doing so was that it was uncited and contradicts what the main references have to say on the topic. Was this original research (or theorizing as the case may be), or did you get that from some source that we could give an attribution to? Thanks, User:DreamGuy 16:04, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC) :A number of online sources relate some sort of link between the legend and the queen. I have restored and added to that text, making it clearer that the relationship is unlikely to go beyond the name, and linked to a couple fairly well known pages about legends that mention a relationship.

The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Wikipedia:Multi-licensing for more information). Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. :Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too. To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the
