Fragonard, The Reader

• “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

• “Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”

― Mark Twain

• “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

• “One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”

― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

• “Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”

― Groucho Marx, The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx

• “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

― Charles William Eliot

• "We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare. But now, thanks to the internet, we know that this is not true." ― Robert Wilensky

• I am the very model of a biblical philologist, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, (except I can't really hum in Hurrian...) [1] :-)

Quoted from the Five pillars: (Don't forget this!) "We strive for articles that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight with respect to their prominence in an impartial tone. We avoid advocacy and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others, we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is on living persons. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong". (Harvard, Oxford, etc., Vetus Testamentum, and the Journal of Biblical Literature, etc. preferred on Bible articles.)

Tip of the day...

Redirects

A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.

To create a redirect for the term "Oof":

1. Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
2. Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
3. In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
4. Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).

Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:

• {{R from birth name}}
• {{R from scientific name|plant}}

Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:

1. There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
2. That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
3. That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
