Thanks for the welcome

I am assuming that your welcome to me was based on my edit entry into the the Thermidorian Reaction, and that other than that there is no mentor/sensi - student relationship. Assuming this, for your own purposes, that I plan on expanding the portion of French history dealing with the period from the death of Robespierre to the Directory. I am also planning a rewrite of Citizens (book), which I find very one-dimensional. In doing this, I will probably not have access to other scholarly material, so that my article will be more on the lines of a book report which means to say that the author, (me), will be presenting himself as the authority. For an analysis of a book, I do not consider this to be non-professional: (please advise).

As I am new member to the Active Contributor community, I welcome any (non-flamming(critiques).

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this. You might want to check out WP:OR and WP:SYNTH if you are planning on presenting yourself as the authority on Citizens. eldamorie (talk) 13:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Social conservatism

I have to say that I find this edit war ridiculous, but all we'd get for participating is a page lockdown for days, probably with the worst possible version. Let's please back off and nail the case for "authoritarian" in discussion before editing with unquestioned consensus. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 03:10, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. If this conversation continues beyond today then I'd suggest we take it to DRN and get some outside opinions. eldamorie (talk) 13:19, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Public lending libraries

Hi Eldamorie,

You reverted my change of Public Lending Libraries to Public Libraries on the article Library. I still think it's an archaic term. Please see my notes on the Library Talk page, and provide more proof of your viewpoint. Thanks. Cataobh (talk) 16:40, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
