Hi Oliver. Thanks for joining us at Citizendium. I had a look at the edit history for the Wikipedia version of this article. You must be user Bylot over there.

I noticed that there were a lot of other contributors to that article before you got involved, which means that some of the text you copied over here is not actually yours. That's okay, but we need to check the "from Wikipedia" box on the article. Your statement above is also somewhat misleading on that point. You say that you were the sole author of the text but that is not really true.

I haven't checked the other articles that you brought over at the same time, but the same criteria apply. Could you please either (1) remove the text that originated with other Wikipedia authors or (2) check the "from Wikipedia" box on the article and remove your notice above? Thanks much. --Joe Quick 18:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Joe,

Yes, at the Wikipedia I wrote (I don't write there anymore!) under the pseudonym Bylot.

When I started editing the former text on Bobby Driscoll in about March 2008 it was just a poor stub, and not very much is left now from the “original” text.

The articles on Billy Chapin and Sally Jane Bruce I also extended from brief stubs up to the today C- and start articles.

So in all three cases I consider myself the actual major author of them.

Yet I remove all three WPauthor templates.

Moving Table of Contents to top of page -- let's discuss it on this page

Let's continue the discussion here, where it belongs, and not on the Write-a-Thon page.

In any case, welcome aboard!

We do do things a little differently from WP, as you will discover. Although, as a former WP guy myself, who did a lot of stuff over there, it takes a while to adjust.

I myself, and many other Citizens, feel that too much white space caused by a long TOC is not what we want the finished articles to look like. So that once an index starts getting as long as that in the Driscoll article, it frequently gets moved to the top right of the page. Not always, but almost always if someone (like myself) takes the trouble to make the actual move. I'm trying to think of an example, but I honestly can't think of a single case in which someone objected to the move enough to argue about it and then move it back.

I myself think that the new page looks a *lot* better, and I've looked at it with both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which display somewhat differently. But, of course, that's just my own opinion....

Why don't you try to find some other people to take a look at the article and get their opinion on the matter. If you look at "Recent Changes" you'll find a number of congenial people such as Howard, Matt, and Chris (among others) who are regular contributors and who would probably be happy to offer their two cents' worth if you ask them to.
