Salve Venator,

please don't use colons in article titles; they're reserved for namespaces. I also recommend against category names in article titles - just use simple titles, and Category links within the article to categorize it.

Thus instead of Fabulae Mensae: One-Gallon Winemaker, I recommend One-Gallon Winemaker

with [[Category:Fabulae Mensae]] within the article.

Format for your poems?

Mi Veni, we're porting over a lot of the old Eagle material, including many of your fine poems. When originally published in the Eagle, they appeared more or less like so (this one's Aquila:A Sea Voyage of Exploration):

Foamy necked waves

break oer the shoal

Racing to wash,

granite toothed beach

Greenish sea moss,

garlands the rocks

Dark, wet and grey,

set in the sand [...]

But IIRC, your pieces have a standard meter and line-length, which I've always seen when they are first published:

Foamy necked waves, break oer the shoal

Racing to wash, granite toothed beach

Greenish sea moss, garlands the rocks

Dark, wet and grey, set in the sand [...]

I think you told us, early on, that this meter is a feature of a particular kind of Norse poetry. Would you like me to render your poems the traditional way as I find them? Or does the way they are now achieve the same effect? -- Marius Peregrinus 20:18, 28 December 2007 (CET)
