OK can we decide where to hang out. I've contacted Gabriel on the Wiki, but there are 3 pages it could be: Digital classics Digital Classicist Digital Medievalist (once created, of course) I suggest camping out at Digital classics as that is the parent article. You need to stake out a position by establishing a big parent article with lots of things linking **to** it. Talk pages don't count. The best way is to find related articles, add in a section or just a sentence that mentions digital techniques, then add a link to the parent article. The parent article should be Digital classics in my view, but you guys are the experts. Once you've got, say, 20 articles linking to it, then you have something no one will ever delete, because it is so embedded. Next step is to make brief mentions of the 'child' articles. Then create the child articles. These should not be too much like adverts. Make a good case for the child article adding research or subject interest. AND LOTS OF PICTURES!!!! Wikipedians love pictures, I can't believe you guys. This is a subject area that is crying out for some beautiful manuscript illustrations, carolingian whatsits, finials, you name it. I have stuff if you don't, but let's make a beautiful wonderful article. Wikipedia is all about plumage. So, let's go. EB

OK I've taken a look and the Digital Classicist, which *is* still there. Digital Medievalist was not there, but apparently it has been deleted, yes? Does anyone have copies of the Talk page? A couple of the editors who objected I know quite well, so I'll have chat with them. Meanwhile, the article does look a bit like an advert. Another objection was that it doesn't get many Google hits. Nothing wrong with that, but need to think of ways round. I'll ask the editors concerned if they can help. E

Was this sorted out? I do a lot of philosophy and especially Medieval philosophy stuff at Wikipedia. I'm a long-established editor and know the system pretty well. I will be happy to help out, if necessary. My user page is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dbuckner Edward Buckner PS I've been lurking in this group for a while but never posted. So, hello.

Digital Medievalist and Wikipedia
by Gabriel BODARD 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

It has recently come to my attention that the page for "Digital Medievalist" in Wikipedia has been deleted by the administrators on the grounds that it "read like an advertisement". Apparently the entry needs to be sober and encyclopedic and cite third party references. Easy enough to do, but apparently no one did. (I'm just fresh from the battle to prevent the same happening to the Digital Classicist entry, but does anyone want to come along and help reinstate the DM page?)

DM Nominations (second call)
by Dot Porter 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

The Digital Medievalist is now taking nominations for members of the executive board. Per the Digital Medievalist Bylaws, Board members will be expected to serve the DM membership by serving on an editorial committee responsible for the production of the DM journal, overseeing the operation of the DM wiki, moderating the dm-l listserv, and/or organizing conference and poster sessions on behalf of Digital Medievalist. Board members serve two-year terms, with four spaces available each year. Eligibility to run for the board is determined by "demonstrable contribution to the project within the previous year," although there is no precise definition of a "demonstrable contribution." This might include editing the DM wiki, publishing an article or review in the DM Journal, or participating in a DM-sponsored session. Anyone who is subscribed to the Digital Medievalist listserv is eligible to vote. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please send a brief biographical statement (max 200 words) to Dot Porter at dot.porter(a)gmail.com. For more information on the Digital Medievalist and the DM Board, please refer to the Bylaws: http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Bylaws Nominations will be accepted through March 14, at which point the slate will be announced and biographies will be sent to the DM Listserv and posted to the DM website. Voting will be held by email from March 21 through March 25. March 25 is Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation, and was New Year's Day until 1752, when western dating moved from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. It is thus a suitable day to welcome the new Digital Medievalist board members. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-9549 ##### Editorial Assistant, REVEAL Project Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments porter(a)vis.uky.edu ***************************************
