Talk:Catherine Yronwode

message: I recognize and respect the fact that the person who this article describes has chosen to write her name in all lowercase letters.  However, it is my opinion that in sentences where her name is the first word (and perhaps in the article title, making the technical restrictions notice unnecessary), the first letter should be capitalized, exactly in the same way as any other generally-lowercase word.  I would be curious if this is following a precedent (perhaps started by e. e. cummings) and hear some more opinions on this before I boldly change it, since someone obviously feels strongly about it.  --Cromwellt|Talk 08:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't demand that my name be capitalized or not capitalized, no more than i demand that it be in a serif font or a san-serif font. That is a typographic decision entirely up to the discretion of whoever writes or typesets my name. When i write or typeset my own name, i do so in all lower case. cat yronwode (not logged in) 75.101.104.17 (talk) 03:01, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: lowercase name

message: I was surprised to find this page about me, so i edited a little bit. I use lower case i and lower case name (cat / catherine yronwode) but i do capitalize the first word in a sentence. Some folks who like me think i insist on all refs to my name must be in all lower case, but that is not so. Cat yronwode is my name and my name is cat yronwode -- first letter of the sentence is capped. Anyay, it's no biggie to me. What i would really like is a redirect page from Catherine_Yronwode, as more than 3/4s of my published writing appears under that name. Catherineyronwode 08:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Arrived in Style 

message: Someone has added some very strange MISinforation to this page.Cat  was not raised in Sacramento. Someone is either very confused, or is having fun doing the wiki-fantasy-biography thing. See the Cat Yronwode autbiography page for confirmation that she never lived in Sacramento. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.142.90.32 (talk • contribs) .
:I believe I put that in there during my massive revamp. If it's incorrect, it was probably my confusion; there is a reference to spending time with her biological father, who lived in Sacramento. That doesn't seem significant enough to mention. I appreciate your work on the article, althoguh I'm unsure whether straight chronological order is always the best for an article. My organization leaned toward topical. In any case, please assume good faith. --Dhartung | Talk 08:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sacramento? Uh-uh.  

message: I took out these comments, one I made:
:I believe, will need to verify if Eclipse was co-defendant
:Eclipse was not involved; Correa was an employee of Friendly Frank's (owned by Frank Mangiaracini)\
My question, which was not answered by the sources available, was whether yronwode was an expert witness because of her knowledge of the comics industry, or whether an Eclipse product was in any way a party to the case.  I made an assumption that it was the former, but someone with better documentation could correct that if necessary. --Dhartung | Talk 08:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correa case 

message: Cat joined the ranks of Stan Lee and Jeanette Kahn (EIC's who have appeared in their own comics) in the eighth issue of Eclipse's run of Miracleman, explaining why the ongoing MM storyline was being delayed and pointing out that she considers the two biggest sins to be "being dishonest and underestimating the public" (and revealed herself as a longtime fan of Doctor Strange).

thread_title:  "I knew deadline doom when I saw it..." 

message: When i saw the article tonight, i realized that an editor had put a cite-tag on a sentence that was already cited. He asked for a cite that i had written books for Kitchen Sink Press after 1981, even though a book i wrote in 1989 for Kitchen Sink was already listed in the Bibliography section and thus proved the sentence to be verified as true.

:I'd recommend adding this information to Church of Euthanasia and then seeing if it gains critical mass making it worth splitting off. As you say this is going to be controversial (as he crops up when there is an Internet suicide scare, as there is no and there was in 2003 when he also made the news), so it'd be worth taking things slowly.

thread_title: Time for a Nagasiva article?

message: For all interested parties, there is a discussion going on right now at  the Manual of Style about whether or not to capitalize people's names against their wishes (like cat yronwode, for example). -- Irn (talk) 16:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization discussion at the manual of style 

message: Today i made the following changes to the page, in the interest of improving it:
Adding Jewish and Sicilian (ethnic background), linking folk magic (in the lead -- it wasn't wiki-linked on first usage, strangely), correcting name of SF newspaper (Express Times / Good Times), rmv red link (nagasiva bryan w yronwode), typo fix (already slipped my mind, but the diff will show), adding names of comics creators (this had been mentioned as a possible way to improve the section on comic book editing as all listed titles were already wiki-linked, and the creator names are now too).
I hope this is okay with everyone -- it was not done with the intention of bloating the article, just with the intention of making it more interesting and more wiki-linked.  
Cautiously,

thread_title:  A bit of improvement, i hope 

message: I removed a section discussing the closure of a usenet mail-to-news directory because after reading the original message, I believed it to be a gross distortion of the facts. I replaced it with a citation of the actual complaint that lead to the closure.
But I left a number of assertions about the effect of the closure made by the same editor because I don't know whether they are true or not.  Is it appropriate to add three different "citation needed" tags to three difference sentences that make entirely different assertions, or should I have just put one at the end of the paragraph?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkanoap (talk • contribs) 22:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usenet gateway 

message: Hey, it's me again. I just wanted to let folks know that i edited the page of which i am the subject -- by adding a ref from an article that the Wall Street Journal ran recently in which i was interviewed about the business side of being a hoodoo shop proprietor. It's just a cite; i did not quote from it or anything. Cordially, cat yronwode (not logged in) 64.142.90.33 (talk) 09:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added a ref 

message: I would argue that Southern Spirits, being an oeuvre edited by Yronwode, is a pertinent external link as it demonstrates her work; conversely, I would not argue this for Arcane Archives, as it is simply a collection of BBS and Usenet postings variously sourced, and only maintained by the Yronwodes.

thread_title:  External links 

message: I'd like to propose a different photo which is newer in part because the author herself uses it promotionally and prefers it to the one that is currently at wikipedia. I can easily secure permission from her to use this new one. It is located at http://www.luckymojo.com/cat1980s.gif

replies: text: Yes, please!  Here are the procedures for doing this. The simplest thing is just to put a CC-BY or CC-BY-SA notice where the photo is posted on LuckyMojo.com, but if that's not desired, there are some alternative ways of doing things (at the link). -- Visviva (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
