ANI notice edit
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Potential COI disclosure edit
Who I am: I'm Julie Cochrane, co-author of 3 novels (with John Ringo). Cally's War reached 31 on the NYT best-seller list for hardcover fiction (in October 2004).
What I do: I write novels and short stories and submit them to various markets
The potential COI: one of the two open anthologies to which I've currently been invited to submit a short story is Janet Morris's "Adventurers in Hell." The invitation to submit preceded, to the best of my knowledge, any dispute on Wikipedia regarding the HiH series.
My real motive: I'd like rights issues presented in articles from an NPOV. In an open issue, in a nutshell, I don't believe referring to stories written for an anthology as "reprints" is NPOV. I'm at something of a loss to prove that stories written in a shared universe were written for that shared universe. More than 20 years ago, nobody could have foreseen that it would ever be something they'd need to prove, especially since it's self-evident from reading the anthology. I think it's one of the most bizarre cases of revisionist history I've ever personally seen. Keep in mind that since this comment is about my own motives, it's strictly my own opinion and as such is unsourced. This is how I feel, this is why I care.
Caveat: I'm new to WP and am trying to "do the right thing" with disclosure. Please cut me some slack if the format of disclosure should be more formal, or different, or anything else related to my admitted inexperience (at this time) with WP's customs. They're rather involved, I understand there are good reasons for that, but it's going to take me time to learn the ropes. I would hope that to some extent my experience as an author contributes something to a question of publishing that in some way compensates for my current inexperience with WP.

Another short word on COI issues: While I have participated in discussions, I've made no edits to any associated WP pages. All of the discussions I've been involved with (other than a short comment as to notability in an RfD) have been about anthologies and stories more than 20 years old that I had nothing to do with other than having purchased and read a copy of HiH way back when it first came out.

Consensus of the Heroes in Hell Merge - Did it include all of the Books and Stories? edit
According to my memory during the Lawyers in Hell AfD discussion about merging the Heroes in Hell articles into one large article, it was decided ALL the articles were to be merged. No mention was made of leaving any of the articles separate.
When I went to merge the one remaining article, one editor got really upset saying that the merge discussion did not include this article, Gilgamesh in the Outback. I believe that the consensus was for all articles. The admin who is currently handling the dispute was not involved at the time, and needs to see a show of hands. If you have any opinion on the issue could you please make your opinion known at Talk:Gilgamesh in the Outback. UrbanTerrorist (talk) 15:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
