User talk:Greg Lindahl
Hi Greg, and welcome to Wikipedia.
The info I have on Ravenscroft's "A Treatise of Music" is from the article in Grove (vol 15 p 624) and it gives the source as MS, Lbm Add.19758). Lbm means "British Library, formerly British Museum (Reference Division)" (from the Library Sigla list at the front of the volume). I haven't seen it myself, unfortunately. Hope this helps, and we'd love to have you contribute more to Wikipedia... right now I'm just about the only one writing on musicology topics in the 17th c. Cheers, Antandrus 00:42, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Excellent, I hope you're able to get a copy of the thesis. (I wish we'd had Google when I was in grad school...) Antandrus 05:40, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

a random query
Why is there no Church of Wumpus article? Are you still giving money to people who catch you on IRC? --moof 14:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nobody ever tried to collect money, for that or for my bounty for anyone catching me posting to Usenet during business hours! Greg 02:52, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Avoiding Information Loss
Thank you for your note. I don't remember what my reasoning was over a year ago and whether I removed that sentence intentionally or not. A look at the Internet Archive indicates that the external website may not have contained any information linking their software to Legion. Maybe, for everything I knew, it could have been a link spammer; but that is speculation, my memory isn't that good. Rl 07:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps Wikipedia needs a better way of contacting the guy who wrote the info, since I added that info to Wikipedia and am an expert on the topic. But the edit history was orphaned when the page was split. Greg 05:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Wendy Northcutt article
Hi Greg, nice to meet you. I put the interview back in and added stuff from another interview and a lnk of hers to an essay about civil rights, this should make it a more interesting article and give a rounded picture of Northcutt. Take a look, I hope you like it.Regards,Rich 03:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
