The Discworld

I noticed that you've made some great additions to the Discworld-related articles I thought you might be interested in a new WikiProject. It's at a very early stage and needs quite a bit of work. Take a look at the Discworld WikiProject. violet/riga (t) 21:45, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Gorean Slave Positions & Commands

Hi there! I'm a newish wikipedia member, young and filled with fresh energy! I've taken on the project of creating a page for "Gorean Slave positions and Commands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nrodovsky/Sandbox#Gorean_Slave_Positions_.26_Commands I hope you'll drop by my talk page and give me feedback as I progress! (Minor rant: Ugh. I'm frustrated that there isn't an article or subsection somewhere outlining at least the more popular flora and fauna of Gor. My mention of tharlarion oil lamps has no context! Evening Scribe 07:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know; that's on a LOT of web pages already. Putting in a wiki article on slave positions seems crufty... Wyvern 21:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is crufty!? Also, it seemed as though on the Gor Talk page, under "Red Link," you yourself suggested creating such a page. Interestingly, in my net searches I'm finding far less slave positions pages than I used to. Also in my attempt to write in an encyclopedic tone, I'm able to write more context about each position than those positions pages on the next usually include. And my spelling and grammar is FAR superior. Perhaps what I'm writing would be more suitable inside of the Kajira page, but what I've lready written is pretty long already.

Distance between Albany and Schoharie

Even though that's what the cited source said, I really don't mind the change, since all the sources that reported on the accident early gave distances that varied from 25 to 40 miles.

I guess we could be looking for the straight-line as the crow flies distance ... any idea what that might be, or where we could find it? Daniel Case (talk) 05:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
