| − | doing a quick tour of the portals prior to launch. I wonder, cd you pls make the N. Ireland portal page a bit more accessible to the public/non experts by giving a short summary of the issues around Northern Ireland? ie what 'sins' are we going to be looking at in the articles in yr portal? you mention the intelligence networks that have sprung up around N Ireland issue. what does this mean for the public/democracy? what are the main problems in the N Ireland field? etc. I suppose a lot of the public think that the whole N Ireland issue has gone away and you will need to explain why it hasn't.

Police said the animal rights movement was in 'disarray' and that its ringleaders had either been prosecuted or were awaiting prosecution, adding that its 'critical mass' of hardcore extremists was sufficiently depleted to have halted its effectiveness.[13]

| |

| |
| − | small point of style but one I'm trying to get all writers to follow -- we should always lead in to quotes and often (not always needed) end by telling the reader what they are supposed to have learned, or by linking into our next point. Thus no section or article should simply begin with a quote. we should say who's speaking/in what publication, who they are, or anything that's relevant to establish the context and let the reader know who is speaking here.

| |
| − | Hi Claire,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I was just wondering what we should do with spelling mistakes in quoted material. I noticed that [Sic.] is used in the initial quote from the Ahuvah Berger emails. Should I do that with the rest? Also there was a quote in the Niv Calderon page that included a mistake which seems to have been rectified. Should I reverse it and put [sic.] there as well? --Tom Griffin 22:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

| − |
| |
| − | HI Tom
| |
| − |
| |
| − | yes this is an annoying one. Sorry, think that was me who corrected their typo "forign" to "foreign" in Calderon. There is no hard and fast rule on these, but the following is what I tend to do.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Where they have made an obvious typo like missing out a letter or spelling someth wrong, you can add the missing letters or correct spelling in square brackets, thus "for[e]ign". We can see this at work in a story John Vidal of the Guardian wrote based on an illiterate email we had from the son of a GM proponent:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Taking the rap
| |
| − | :John Vidal
| |
| − | :The Guardian, October 6, 2004
| |
| − | :http://society.guardian.co.uk/societyguardian/story/0,7843,1320123,00.html
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Rohan Prakash is the 12-year-old rapper son of Professor CS Prakash, director of the Centre for Plant Biotechnology at Tuskegee University, Alabama. Young Rohan has leapt to his father's side after penning a pro-biotech song that was mentioned by the UK web-based GM Watch group. He emailed them: "If you want to insult me, i'm going to insult you fucking dick ass bit[c]h whor[e]. Ya you can never talk about me like that cuz 12 year old rohan that's me and say sorry because universal records gave me a record contract and i can make a rap to get you out of business bitch. Do not talk about my dad because biotechnology is tight and you do not fuck with me!" Sweet child.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If they have used the wrong form of a word and it's obvious what they mean I would enclose the correction in square brackets and "ed" note, such as:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bloggs writes, "The terrorists have had there last chance."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I would either correct to:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bloggs writes, "The terrorists have had there [their – ed.] last chance."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If they use the wrong word and it's 99% but not 100% clear what they mean, you can add a question mark to your addition in square brackets, so if you have a quote like:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Blaggs writes, "MI6 taked me with liaising between the two sides."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I would write
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Blaggs writes, "MI6 taked [tasked? – ed.] me with liaising between the two sides."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While everyone makes typos and there is usually no point in making an issue of them -- the aim in general should be just to clarify for the reader -- in some cases there is a point that can be made in reproducing people's illiteracy exactly as we find it, especially if it involves abusive and aggressive language, as in Vidal's article above, or makes a political point, eg like an example a few years ago of terrible grammar used by an education minister who was propounding about literacy in schools. In these cases I would just add the odd letter as in the John Vidal article above.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the quote contains an obvious mistake that would entail more than the addition of a letter or two to clarify/correct, but the meaning is clear, that is a case for using [sic.] with lower case "s". This just makes clear to the reader that we are reproducing the person's words and have not made a mistake ourselves -- it's a way of reassuring the reader that they are reading the quote as we found it. Thus with Ahuvah Berger article:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "I would gladly take accept [sic.] that title."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In general, [sic.] and minor corrections of adding letters in square brackets can be freely used and will stop editors like me going in and changing quotes! so yes please re Calderon, do put the missing "e" in "foreign" in square brackets, ie "for[e]ign".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I will add this advice to the ever-growing list of editorial guidelines! thanks for drawing attn to the issue.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Small additional point: in Ahuvah Berger article, could you just add the dates of the emails concerned where they are not mentioned -- think they were all on 23 June but such details can sometimes become important? you can use the date that you rec'd the email if there is any confusion about when it was actually written.

| |

| |
| − | can you just specify who "we" is in the "Media presence" section? You can say "SpinProfiles editors..." or Terrorism Spin portal editors..." or anything that describes more specifically who "we" is. It's just to clarify for the reader who is responsible for this info.

| |
| − | Hi Tom
| |
| − |
| |
| − | if you have time wonder if you could go into Bill Lowry
| |
| − | http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Bill_Lowry
| |
| − | and unpick/clarify couple of things:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. what was the 'real' story of Lowry's departure from PSNI? this story under "Departure" is cryptic and I was not sure what the true story -- or a reasonable interpretation of events -- might be -- is there any credible suggestion that he was moved out because of his views on Stobie? or something else?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. In section "US conference" I've added a lead-in to the quote -- cd you see if OK and maybe improve if needed?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. Section "Dean Godson book launch" needs unpicking. Lead in to quote to set in context, explaining who Trimble is. maybe also explain Melanie P's 'reputation'/viewpoint. what is significance of Bill Lowry being there, as this article is about him?

| |
| − | :Col. Peter Brush is the name given by Robert Fisk.[1] Flackes and Elliot record the name as Lt-Col. Edward James Augustus Howard Brush (1901-1984).[2]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Can you briefly say in the intro para who he is, what he has done, and why Fisk would call him one thing but others call him something else? Also, briefly set Fisk's quote in context -- it's from his book about ...
| |

| |

| |
| − | HI Tom
| |

| |
| − | I am tidying up a bunch of old pages known as the globalisation pages and found a load of stuff in the old Globalisation:PNAC page about neoconservatism, what it is, the history, etc. I have tentatively put it into the page that you already had called Neoconservatism, which used to redirect people to Neocons portal. Can you have a quick look at it now and tell me if you think this material is worth keeping? If so I will tidy it up.

| − | lovely stuff on Godson, Tom, thanks. If you want, you can foreground the contras money business by mentioning it in the intro and adding someth to refer reader to approp section, eg
| |
| − | :Joe Bloggs was implicated in the "cash for questions" scandal (see XYZ, below).
| |

| |
| − | this is an interesting topic and one that a lot of people lack knowledge about. Can you include a sentence or so on the "false flag" issue -- is it the same thing or a subset of covert action? also any examples would be great -- they will have to be ones that are widely accepted as covert action or false flag.

Also in the category page, in the space where you can add description of articles in that category, maybe note the abbreviation, in case people ever see it in that form or you use the abbreviation in the article text, and note down what you told me about precursor of CIA? send me a message if this not clear.
