    Happy New Year, and welcome to a special double issue of Books & Bytes. We've included a retrospective on the changes and progress TWL has seen over the last year, the results of the survey TWL participants completed in December, some of our plans for the future, a second interview with a Wiki Love Libraries coordinator, and more. Here's to 2014 being a year of expansion and innovation for TWL!

    The Misplaced Pages Library completed the first 6 months of its Individual Engagement grant last week. Here's where we are and what we've done:

    Increased access to sources: 1500 editors signed up for 3700 free accounts, individually worth over $500,000, with usage increases of 400-600%

    Deep networking: Built relationships with Credo, HighBeam, Questia, JSTOR, Cochrane, LexisNexis, EBSCO, New York Times, and OCLC

    New pilot projects: Started the Misplaced Pages Visiting Scholar project to empower university-affiliated Misplaced Pages researchers

    Developed community: Created portal connecting 250 newsletter recipients, 30 library members, 3 volunteer coordinators, and 2 part-time contractors

    Tech scoped: Spec'd out a reference tool for linking to full-text sources and established a basis for OAuth integration

    Broad outreach: Wrote a feature article for Library Journal's The Digital Shift; presenting at the American Library Association annual meeting

    Andes

    Just curious why the update to other_name edit on Andes keeps being reverted. I'm probably just not familiar with the subject enough to know why that's wrong. — Strongjam (talk) 00:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    I agree I know that topic and I am not making bad edits These are not distruptive edits and I can make them.TheWhovoanBoss (talk) 00:51, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    If you think "The Andes Mountian (sic) Range" is an alternative name for the Andes, please cite a reliable source confirming this. RolandR (talk) 01:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
    I can't believe I didn't see the misspelling. Anyway, I'm not sure I see the need for it anyway. — Strongjam (talk) 01:27, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    Type 1 error example

    The example is weird, because Type 1 error occurs when the null hypothesis is true, but the data turns out to reject the hypothesis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnylioltu (talk • contribs) 03:06, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    Query

    Hello RolandR, You left a message and undid some of the edits that I did for Kathy Freston. I am a bit confused on all of this as she has been divorced from Tom Freston for over a year (there is not an article on this, but if this page/site is about accuracy, then the update should be left), her birthplace is incorrect on the page as it is Greenville, not Atlanta, and the information currently on the page " Tom Freston was largely responsible for her visibility, as Kathy Freston has no formal training or expertise in nutrition or biology. Tom was an executive at Viacom in charge of MTV Networks until 2006" has no citation or reference either and is all hearsay and therefore not credible, if you are saying that what I wrote is the same definition.

    I have emailed Ms Freston on the past and got the response from her, "tried to share my life’s experiences that led me to this journey in my books. I don’t have any special education or especially relevant background, beyond the fact that I’ve found these topics to be engrossing. I've become somewhat of an obsessed researcher on the subject of plant-based food and all its healthy repercussions!" so that would seem to me to be a better source then someone else's apparent gossip, as stated in the current page.

    It seems a bit shady to me that there is all this talk of her ex-husband, especially skewed in his direction, coming from articles written about him, on her page. I feel her page should be about HER and his articles can go to his Wiki page.

    The Charlie Rose link is no longer active so why was it restored? This makes no sense to me and I am not sure of your interest in all of this?

    Thank you, Walt P.Waltypete (talk) 22:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    The text you added had no source, and is unacceptable in a biography of a living person. An email that you claim to have received from the subject is unfortunately not considered a reliable source. If you think that other material in the article is also inadequately sourced, please remove it, or ask for a better source; but the existence of unacceptable material in an article does not authorise the addition of further such material.

    A New category BORN ON A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

    Dear Roland, wait a little please, I'll give you a link from the NASA Web site! Rohlinae (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:04, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

    http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsearchmap.php?Ecl=18510728 This is the source! The day of birth of Samuel Sachs for example Rohlinae (talk)

    Nobody is questioning whether he was born on the day of an eclipse. The issue is, is that significant? You can only include this if a reliable source makes the connection. Otherwise, your own linkage is considered unacceptable synthesis, and is not allowed in Misplaced Pages.
    Your further comment, complaining that I have not responded within five minutes of your original comment, is also unacceptable, and I have removed it. RolandR (talk) 15:17, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

    Ok, maybe you are right! Thank you for your reply! Astrology is not a science I know, but this is an interesting fact to create a new category to facilitate the search of the people born on a total solar eclipse day. It's so interesting to know it, why not? Like in Ancient Greece for example the fact of birth on such a day was considered very important.

    Automated revert

    Sorry, I reverted back this rollback because the section is essentially POV, for the reason I've previously described in the last edit and I've repeated in this one. Regards. Lenore (talk) 21:50, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

    a woman who reports being raped is not a rape victim. these infos are tendentious. please stop your vandalisms Lenore (talk) 10:33, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
    My edits are certainly not vandalism; maybe you should read the page to see how Misplaced Pages uses the term. And my starting point is to take seriously allegations of rape, not to follow a repressive regime in stigmatising and criminalising the complainants. RolandR (talk) 11:27, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
