[edit]Benefactor. Good word for this, tnx. But "in" rather than "of" seems clearer, perhaps bcz in the grants, they are (or play the role of) the benefactor of (or maybe to) the "geniuses".
Tnx, i guess i get to be the picture in Wikiquote next to "Advertising pays", & i should start looking for a photo with a suitably dazed expression -- i've heard enough ads saying "JD & CT MacA Fndn" that it never occurred to me to refer to it as "MacA Fndn", despite the domain name! [grin, blush]
Of course the link should be to the MacA F'ship article, but IMO it's worth keeping "genius" in the text of this article bcz people may not remember what the MacA F'ships are, but can easily check their formal name by hovering the link i propose, 'the so-called "genius awards"'. (Not "grants"? Keeping an ear open to next news coverage.) I think pretty much everything applies for JD MacA article, tho i won't be sure until i edit that. If you revert, and tell me why, you'll continue to be a benefactor to me in improving my skill. [smile]
(On reflection, i'm also cutting the HA-5-0 dates from this actor's father's article, & just making sure they're in the actor's article.)
Tnx again; nice working w/ you. --Jerzy 01:16, 2003 Oct 25 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the note. Yep, sometimes you have to hunt a bit to find the correct titles to articles. And it is difficult since the internal search function is disabled. Several times I have written up pieces, and then discovered that someone else had already created an entry under a slightly different title.
- I know you didn't write the original article on the MacArthur Fellowship but there is one item in it I am wondering about it: it states the award is only given to American citizens yet there are foreigners on that list, such as Alma Guillermoprieto. Wondering where that statement came from...
- Bye for now... -- Viajero 08:36, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
