The Kindly Ones

Wow you did a heroic job on the Kindly Ones. A quick glance leads me to say an excellent job. My one quibble is that with so many small edits, it is hard to hard to react or particpate as you go along. In any case a big bouquet, you really improved the article on an important book.--Joel Mc (talk) 13:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the Le Débat ref. I do read French, but hadn't seen it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on line and I am traveling during the next 5 weeks, mainly behind the Great Firewall of China, but will look it up when I get back to a library in June. Likewise, I will try to read the two pieces but may find it difficult to give much of a reaction before June.--Joel Mc (talk) 13:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I am not sure how to answer the question of references in other languages. I believe that there a certain resistance to that in general on Misplaced Pages--but maybe that happens when editors use a reference in language few know to justify a statement. One possible solution would be to see that the French references appear in the French Misplaced Pages version and the German etc. Then it might be useful to put a note in the English article that for those who read other languages, they might want to consult the references in the other language versions. Anyway, just an idea.--Joel Mc (talk) 09:41, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Am still on the road but did see a fascinating essay by Charolette Mandell about translating The Kindly Ones. In case you haven't seen it: --Joel Mc (talk) 14:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for asking me about the nomination. I am back from China but moving: leaving tomorrow for three weeks, but will re-read again with the nomination in mind during the next couple of days. Joel Mc (talk) 20:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I am afraid that unforeseen events completely sabotaged my intentions and I have just returned home from a longer-then-planned trip three days ago. My apologies. I think that you have done an excellent job and I hope that you are going ahead with the nomination. --Joel Mc (talk) 09:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
