spell out who?

Hi Tom In article Terrorism and Political Violence

you have this:--

The St Andrews Centre is well represented on the editorial board and the rest of the board is dominated by terrorologists fully signed up to supporting Western power.

I think from your list below, Schmidt and Taylor are the St Andrews bods on editorial board? can u name the names in the body text?

eg The St Andrews Centre is well represented on the editorial board. Mr X, big cheese no 1 at the Centre, is an editor. Mr Y, smaller cheese at the Centre, is an associate editor. The rest of the board is dominated by terrorologists fully signed up to supporting Western power. [name the names here]


thanks--makes it a lot easier for folks to follow and they don't have to do so much work by figuring out the lists below and going to other pages, though the lists are good to have too. --Claire Robinson 19:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for offering to fix that article Tom. If you don't have time let me know and I'll do it next time I'm working on Spin. It's pretty hard to work out who actually wrote stuff but usually I go for the most recent 'editor' of the article... wrong person here! best, --Claire Robinson 11:20, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Dr Strangelove

Apparently Kubrick got part of the original idea for Dr Strangelove from a thriller about a lone US bomber in the Soviet Union. the book was given to him by Alastair Buchanwho was at that time at the ISS. --David 18:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

categories

Hi Tom

don't forget to add categories to yr articles on The 61 and Shield--you probably were going to as I'm sure they are works in prog. Ditto on any other articles you've worked on lately. Having categories seems to be the easiest way for public to find articles on a subject. sorry if I'm stating the obvious. best, --Claire Robinson 17:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

yeah!

Hi Tom

what a fantastic job you've done on the terror portal page -- and it even has a nice A-Z list. makes my heart leap to look at it...

thanks so much --Claire Robinson 12:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

portals

Hi Tom

well, the end result is really good. Some of the portal pages are looking great now and pretty user-friendly but others are sadly abandoned and need a lot of work.

Adding the overarching category to each article is a big job and I had to ask for some volunteer help to work on the GM portal. Amazingly someone came forward and put in many hours. Feel free to use the wiki@spinwatch.org list to ask for someone to help you. You just send an email to that address and all the Users will get it. Worth asking David first if Bill, our technical guy, has put in an extension to allow this process to be automated over many articles because they were discussing this.

best, --Claire Robinson 16:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

thanks! --Claire Robinson 17:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Laqueur

I started redrafting this. Here is a section to save edit conflicts:

Walter Zeev Laqueur (born 26 May 1921)[1] is an American historian, political commentator, terrorologist and Zionist.

Early life

He was born in Breslau, Germany (modern Wrocław, Poland), in 1921 to a Jewish family. In November 1938 Laqueur left Germany for the British Mandate of Palestine.[2] His parents, who were unable to leave, died in the Holocaust. He lived in Palestine/Israel 1938-53 and since then in the UK and USA.

Career

Laqueur left Israel in 1953, going first to London and then to the US.

In Israel

Laqueur attended the Hebrew University, Jerusalem in 1938/9. Then he Joined a Kibbutz, as an 'agricultural laborer' from 1939-1944.[3] From 1944-53 he moved to Jerusalem and worked as a journalist 1944-1953, covering 'Palestine and, for several years, other Middle Eastern countries.'[4] his own biograp[hy does not reveal what he did between 1953 and 1955 when he arrived in London and became the Editor of Survey (1955-1964).
