Jane M. Lindskold was born in 1962, at the Columbia Hospital for Women. She is the first of four siblings: Ann M. Lindskold Nalley, Graydon M. Lindskold, and Susan M. Lindskold Speer. Lindskold's father, John E. Lindskold, was head of the Land and Natural Resources Division, Western Division of the United States Justice Department. Her mother, Barbara DiSalle Lindskold, was also an attorney. Jane M. Lindskold grew up in [[Washington, D.C.]] and [[Chesapeake Bay]]. She attended elementary school primarily at Holy Trinity Elementary School in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., and attended high school at Immaculata Preparatory School. She studied at Fordham, where she received a Ph. D. in English, concentrating on Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern British Literature. Lindskold was a superior student and successfully defended her Ph.D. on her 26th birthday. Mentored by her friend, [[Roger Zelazny]], she started publishing stories in 1992, and she published her first novel, ''Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls'' in December, 1994. In her ''Athanor'' series, she writes about the creatures of legend — shape-shifters, [[satyrs]], merfolk, and [[unicorns]] — who have sworn to keep their existence hidden from a human race prone to kill what it does not understand. In her ''Firekeeper Saga'', she writes about a woman who discovers that politics among the wolves she was raised by and politics among human royalty are not so different.

Hi EdJohnson, Are you certain that Alyeska is not trying to operate under the radar. We have tried to include info pertainent to our guests and visitors, but the editor just replies with his opinions. We have posted proof of Alyeska's bias or misinformation and have included web pages to support our claim. Can't we have another editor? Remember, we asked for protection FROM Alyeska, but the page got locked with Alyeska's revisions. Thank you for helping.[[Special:Contributions/72.160.46.220|72.160.46.220]] ([[User talk:72.160.46.220|talk]]) 17:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

:Can you comment as to your affiliation? When you say 'our guests and visitors' do you mean you're associated with the resort? If you are, that might help us figure out if the article is fair. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 18:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi EdJohnson,
* {{isfdb name|id=Jane_Lindskold|name=Jane Lindskold}}
We do not have any affiliation with the resort other than skiing there. Our guests stay with us in our home in order to avoid the expenses of staying on the mountain or in town. It is very difficult to deal with the new management as they would not honor implied contracts with the public, which is probably in violation of Montana State law. They also could not bear to reveal the new lift closing time which inconvenienced and endangered visitors.


{{DEFAULTSORT:Lindskold, Jane}}
We asked for protection from Alyeska because it became impossible to edit the article without getting reverted with angry retorts. I know there's been lots of vandalism on the article, but it behooves editors to sort it out and refrain from ad hominen, etc. Thanks for your help, there are some positive changes to the article already. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/72.160.49.4|72.160.49.4]] ([[User talk:72.160.49.4|talk]]) 14:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Talk:Cladistics ==

I'm reluctant to semi-protect a talk page, especially if the article is (likely to be) semi-protected, since it blocks an avenue for constructive contribution. That said, there is an issue with User:Consist and Cladistics, yes. So long as he's editing from one IP, a long block on the IP is probably the way to go. If he starts IP hopping, then yes, I would endorse semi-protection of the article and, if necessary, the talk page. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 01:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

'''WHAT'''
[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan|Wikis Take Manhattan]] is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and
[http://www.livablestreets.com/streetswiki/ StreetsWiki] articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

'''LAST YEAR'S EVENT'''

*[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008]] (a description of the results, and the uploading party)

The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

'''WHO'''
All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

'''REGISTER'''
The proper place to register your team is [https://freeculture.wufoo.com/forms/wikis-take-manhattan/ here]. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

'''WHERE'''
Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

== The Final Fantasy Legend ==

I appreciate you stepping in, but will a minor protection really be enough? Kung Fu Man is only going to continue reverting any changes made to the article that he personally disagrees with. This has nothing at all to do with policy. Policy is only cited based on convenience.

This article isn't the only instance of the issue, either. Take a look at his talk page and you'll notice that this sort of behavior is going on in other articles with other users.

== [[Center for Science in the Public Interest]]: Criticisms ==

I gather from the talk page that the history of criticisms toward the [[Center for Science in the Public Interest]] has been contentious and storied. However, I think there needs to be such a section. I was not aware, until encountering this Wikipedia article that there was anyone-- fringe or otherwise-- who questioned their findings. I have since become aware that there are many who do so. Just today, I found such criticism in a cookbook at the grocery store I had picked up to leaf through. I understand that heavily biased smear compaigns are not likely to produce an encyclopia-like discussion of the controversy, but there needs to be some such discussion. Do you have any ideas on how to proceed?

New theories need to wait to find acceptance and general recognition before they qualify for Wikipedia. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 20:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

So now I am not violating anymore policies but the reference to the published paper does not deserve space? I still am in no violation of policy when inputting a reference to an alternative theory which meets the requirements of ALL the experimental tests of gravity. In fact, if you were a true to heart about knowledge you would think that one line in a huge database does deserve that one line of space if it means learning something new.

:Many people come to Wikipedia hoping to publicize their own ideas. This is not usually a good move on their part, and they are surprised when they encounter resistance. They should wait until their ideas have become so famous that others come forward to write them up. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 00:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Re: New section button ==

I just think it looks cool.
It would also help to standardise AN reports, with all the useful links at the top of the report.

Early in 2007 MDS America withdrew support for MDS International. 15 June 2007, MDS International was ordered by the French court to pay $1,000,000 to one of their clients for business related failures. On the 5th of July 2007, the French court of commerce declared MDS International bankrupt. MDS International stopped its activity on 31 July 2007. Jean Claude Ducasse was the CEO of the company from 2001 to 2004 followed by Corinne Ducasse Sanchez from 2005 to the end. This management team have attempted to form shell companies (Worldwave LLP [4], MMDS Hypercable [5], etc.) These companies still have a web presence but are not backed by capital.

== Arabian Peninsula ==

Hello Ed. The initial revert from your retored version to my old version was bot-generated on the basis of suspected vandalism. I also placed a user report of the vandalism on [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism]] and mentioned the edit war on the article talk page. The 3RR specifically provides an exception for vandalism. Several other editors have reverted to versions containing my edits and left Edit comments mentioning vandalism.

There was no lack of scholarly citations or links to scholarly works and dictionaries in the changes to the article that I had made.

I have no idea what the nature of the dispute might be, since none of the so-called 'editors' - Hisham, Chaldeaan, NoPity2, Patrick0Maran, and etc. have chosen to use the talk page to discuss the matter. I simply responded there to the brief comments they had placed in their edit summaries. I also placed messages with the citations and links on the user talk pages of Hisham, Chaldeaan, and Patrick0Maran, but they have not responded.

You have reverted the article to a version that has no mention of the disambiguation page for Arabistan, which is hardly an improvement on the situation I set out to correct, i.e. The disambiguation page for Arabistan is pointing to an article about the Arabian Penninsula that makes no mention of that term. The Merriam-Webster Geographical Dictionary contains a completely unambiguous entry which says that the Arabian Peninsula is Arabistan. I had already mentioned that under a separate section heading on the article talk page. [[User:Harlan wilkerson|harlan]] ([[User talk:Harlan wilkerson|talk]]) 00:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== NJGW unblock ==

Thanks for taking the time to reevaluate your block of NJGW. It is a nice surprise; no [[WP:ANI]] dramafest was needed. I appologize for being so touchy about the whole thing; this is the second time in a week that he's been blocked for [[WP:3RR]] violation without actually having violated the rule. Thanks again, [[User_talk:HiDrNick|<span style="color:#CC3300">Hi</span><span style="color:#0088FF"><b>DrNick</b></span>]]! 03:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Re: HoSilesia ==

I'll take a look; I am not familiar with the editors but the IPs seem to be causing some above average disruption, and semi-protection wouldn't hurt. One of them seems to have created an account recently ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/AnnaG89]).--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span></sub> 18:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:Should we also protect [[Wikipedia:Ethnic_and_cultural_conflicts_noticeboard#Bishopric_of_Ermland.2FWarmia|those articles]]?

Revision as of 13:27, 13 October 2008

Jane M. Lindskold is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels.

Jane M. Lindskold was born in 1962, at the Columbia Hospital for Women. She is the first of four siblings: Ann M. Lindskold Nalley, Graydon M. Lindskold, and Susan M. Lindskold Speer. Lindskold's father, John E. Lindskold, was head of the Land and Natural Resources Division, Western Division of the United States Justice Department. Her mother, Barbara DiSalle Lindskold, was also an attorney. Jane M. Lindskold grew up in Washington, D.C. and Chesapeake Bay. She attended elementary school primarily at Holy Trinity Elementary School in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., and attended high school at Immaculata Preparatory School. She studied at Fordham, where she received a Ph. D. in English, concentrating on Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern British Literature. Lindskold was a superior student and successfully defended her Ph.D. on her 26th birthday. Mentored by her friend, Roger Zelazny, she started publishing stories in 1992, and she published her first novel, Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls in December, 1994. In her Athanor series, she writes about the creatures of legend — shape-shifters, satyrs, merfolk, and unicorns — who have sworn to keep their existence hidden from a human race prone to kill what it does not understand. In her Firekeeper Saga, she writes about a woman who discovers that politics among the wolves she was raised by and politics among human royalty are not so different.

Lindskold lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband, archaeologist Jim Moore.
