Peter Wayner has set up a project at Dartmouth College in a course for non-computing majors that has led some of them to create articles that are clearly unencyclopedic by Wikipedia's current standards, and others that are borderline. I suspect he was unaware of Wikipedia:School and university projects, and that he's given his students what I would consider inadequate instruction on the need to lurk and to respect existing standards when entering a new cybercommunity.
But, whatever the reason for some of these articles appearing on VfD, I think there may be a case for delaying their deletion until the course concludes. These are not computing majors and it's unlikely to be their fault, and it may not be anybody's. The policies aren't all that easy to find!
I have already asked Peter to supply the course conclusion date. Comments? Andrewa 22:10, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hello Andrewa, I've also only just got interested in Simple W so can't exactly give you any tips! Why don't you just "translate" some of the articles you've been working on?

Perhaps there's something I'm missing here, but I don't see your point or points at all. Easiest first:
I share your concern that trust in tags is important, but I don't see how your proposal helps. I did point out that the posts were both from IPs, rather than from the users as claimed. Obviously then the signatures should be disregarded, but perhaps you think this should be explicit?
(Incidentally, what do you mean by SP? Acronym finder returns 177 meanings but none seem to fit too well.)
I don't see how what I've done bypasses verifiability.
And I don't see how the link you provided and suggested as a model is in any way superior to the one I provided. I think that both of the pages they link to need to be examined to see what is going on. Now, each of the pages linked to provides a direct link to the other. It's not obvious to me why one should be preferred over the other.
I almost always use the preview when providing links, and did in this case. Again, I don't see that the link you suggest provides any advantage there.
Or, as I said above, am I missing something? Andrewa 09:29, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Implicit in my phrase "gives you a chance to double-check your compiling of your research" (in Ph0 & quoted in Ph1) is what you've at least missed letting me know whether you're now aware of. Moving twd the point, i mean that which
Namely, your clerical error in Ph0, attributing two forgeries to the same IP.
Can we start w/ yr clarifying whether you are now aware of that error (and yr either IDing any obviated questions, or restating from scratch if you think that's more efficient) before i explicate more thoroly than the following?
I know how you feel abt SP (=Sock Puppet); i had to ask abt IASPO, even tho it should have been obvious when it appeared 3 times separating 4 IDs, in a SP discussion.
I should have instead said "fails to minimize verifiability effort".
I think you'll find that effort required, per SP verified as forged and single-contrib, is
IMO your clerical error got published (as you suggest, despite previewing) bcz you faced an even greater difference of effort in an easier, slightly different, related task.
Tnx for the helpful notification of resp, but plz skip add'l not'ns until we've finished with this topic: i'll watch for your responses till then.
Tnx for yr attn. -- Jerzy (t) 17:03, 2004 Sep 2 (UTC)
I just hppened to run across this today, in grossly overdue talk-page clean-up:
Hi Jerzy, someone recently used IASO as an abbreviation for "is a sockpuppet of". I wouldn't be surprised if it means something else too. 8^) Hope that helps, Wile E. Heresiarch 19:08, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
I note that i unconsciously evolved it from IASO to IASPO, which might explain the lack of an acro hit. -- Jerzy (t) 19:22, 2004 Sep 3 (UTC)
It seems that some folks, for whatever reason, are thinking that "the deletionists" are a problem best solved by unilateral action. You saw the Village Pump discussion, and you and I are on the same general side of the discussion. I hope you note also, though, what Netoholic has begun doing on VfD, beginning with Zhu Yu. I agree with most that some new scheme might be desirable, but we have discussions taking place three different places, and folks are starting to announce the thing settled. This will not do.

There's a disclaimer at the top of the village pump that says "Please note: this page is not a place to make lasting comments. Discussions are removed daily to make room for new ones." If you have a better plan for archiving which does not "leave a lot to be desired", I suggest you propose this on the talk page. Otherwise, please do not attack the people who do remove the old sections. The page is currently 153kb, largely as a result of people not being bold enough to clear out the old sections because they fear people will complain about it in exactly the way you have done on Wikipedia talk:Deletion of user subpages.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the heads up on the vote. I for one am bewildered at the opposition to the policy being frozen while voting takes place—I have no idea how a policy vote can possibly work if the policy is changed mid-vote to something different to what the earlier voters supported or opposed?! That's crazy talk! — Stormie 23:19, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, monitoring recent changes I noticed a alteration to a page that you seem to know about that looked suspicious to me. Year numbering was changed regarding "before present" and a new page was added, Before Present.

I just wanted to drop you a quick thank-you for the work you've done on flying fox, etc. Sorting out all those differences among Australian, American, and British English was a confusing — but ultimately fruitful — discussion. This is one of the reasons I like wiki so much: the authors themselves can broaden their own horizons (however clumsily), simulateously hacking a path through the jungle for future readers.

Andrewa, unfortunately your workaround didn't work for me. However, your suggestion gave me the idea that it was basically a stylesheet problem, so then I delved into the monobook stylesheet. The odd thing about this bug is that it looks like there's plenty of blank space in an 800x600 res to fit in all the tabs, but nevertheless the display screws up by "wrapping" the tabs for some inexplicable reason. After studying the code for a while, I was able to locate the source of the problem:
#p-cactions { ... width: 76%; ... }
The above line applies only to the tabs at the top of the page, and to no other elements on the page. The problem the width statement creates problems is that 76% of the width of a 800x600 screen is not enough to hold all the tabs. Therefore, I then changed my stylesheet by adding this line to my personal monobook.css page:
#p-cactions { width: 100%; }
Now the tabs display properly in an 800x600 resolution! (Even better: this change does not create problems—or even change the display at all—in larger resolutions. In fact, I don't understand why the stylesheet developers even chose to make the width 76% in the first place; unless I'm missing something, it should always have been 100%. 100% doesn't screw up the column to the left, either.)
Anyway, thanks for the comments. You helped me find a solution.
-- Lowellian 05:26, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
Argg, okay, I spoke too soon. There is a slight problem with what I posted above, and now I see why the stylesheet developers chose to post a value less than 100%. It creates blank space to the right of the page, so that in an 800x600 res a horizontal scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the window. However, though 100% does not work, the following does (without being so wide as to create a horizontal scroll bar), and it fixes the stacking tabs problem.
#p-cactions { width: 80%; }
Now it works! (I think.)

If mozilla (seamonkey suite) and firefox have such a drastically different behaviour on a website, I'm sure the mozilla developers would be interested to know about it and "fix" seamonkey (even in the case that our CSS is broken and not mozilla, if firefox is able to grok it, seamonkey should too).

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the note. I don't know what to say about the whole deletion thread that brewed up last night, except that it seems quite a bit more exhausting to defend an article than it is to write one.
I apologize if I was over-ardent. The article really was the least of it: I write professionally, and there's a bit of ego that goes along with that, in terms of process and working on things until they're done -- an impulse to chase people away from one's workspace when one's in the middle of something.
Do these discussions happen often, or is the decision whether to delete an article usually pretty clear-cut? Auto movil 21:08, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi Andrew. I was just wondering where you got the figure for a 3GeV accelerator at Lucas Heights in your Australian Atomic Energy Commission article? I haven't heard of this accelerator but have heard of accelerators that they have there in the 3MeV range. Martyman 11:42, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
G'day Martyman.
I'm going from memory, so I may have the energy wrong. When I worked there, there were two vandergraafs in service. The big one was a proton accelerator in the same building that housed MOATA reactor, and that's the one I'm describing as 3GeV.
The little one was an electron accelerator in a lab across the road, and was far less powerful in terms of particle energy.
The fascinating thing about the two was that although you could safely stand next to the big machine while it was operating (for short periods with a film badge), the little machine gave off such powerful hard X-rays that it needed four inches of lead!
But my area of expertise was computing, not particle physics. I'll see if I can find an old annual report to verify. Andrewa 17:50, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man ( comment| talk)

I fully respect you for stubifying the article, and your personal opinions. However, I feel criticising me for initially listing the article was a little over the top (although I can understand that people might not agree that the original article should have been speedy deleted). The initial article as it stood contravened Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not as it was solely a link, and being posted by an anoymous user I assumed it was spam/advertising (which, incidentally, it probably was).
Anyway, as my nomination drew attention to the article, and resulted in the page being improved it is for the better. Happy editing. Rje 21:11, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I've been away on vacation for some time now, so it's been hard to get any amount of work done online in Wikipedia. I just thought I should let you know why my input on Wikipedia has been minimal for now. I do plan to get more involved when I get back home, as long as I have time I can devote towards it.

Hey Andrew... I removed it because it made what was previously part of the intro into the beginning of the main body of the text - I dunno if you did that on purpose, but I think it would be better simply as part of the intro, or else lower down in the main body if you think it needs to be expanded into its own section.

I don't particularly want to pile on Iasson, and I'm not really sure who created the article, but why wasn't it ever proposed for VfD? I don't want to step into a s--tstorm by proposing it, but my current hypothesis regarding Iasson's behavior is that he is in fact the creator of the Average Rule and is hoping to get Wikipedia to be the first organization in the universe actually to adopt it.

Hi, I'm sorry I only just found out about your response Request for peer review a few hours ago; unfortunately you'd posted your thoughts just one day after I left Wikipedia; the mindless reverting of Wik's & John's had made it impossible to contribute to any subjects on Wikipedia. - so I left for several months in hopes they'd be delt with or find something else to amuse them.
You comments were just the kind of feedback I was hoping to get before they started their edit & revert attacks last year. I've done a quick edit of the Map & Intro of the West Papua article; I would really appreciate your feedback if possible.
And if possible? Any comments on West Papuan genocide - though John's version is much funnier, he's removed the name of the document which the article is written around. Gota love them ;-)-- Daeron 19:33, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The fact is that there are no four consecutive reverts within a 24-hour period. I did not violate 3RR.
I ask you to please undo this block as soon as possible, and de-sysop User:Guanaco for flagrant abuse of admin powers.
Thank you.

Perhaps there's something I'm missing here, but I don't see your point or points at all. Easiest first:
I share your concern that trust in tags is important, but I don't see how your proposal helps. I did point out that the posts were both from IPs, rather than from the users as claimed. Obviously then the signatures should be disregarded, but perhaps you think this should be explicit?
(Incidentally, what do you mean by SP? Acronym finder returns 177 meanings but none seem to fit too well.)
I don't see how what I've done bypasses verifiability.
And I don't see how the link you provided and suggested as a model is in any way superior to the one I provided. I think that both of the pages they link to need to be examined to see what is going on. Now, each of the pages linked to provides a direct link to the other. It's not obvious to me why one should be preferred over the other.
I almost always use the preview when providing links, and did in this case. Again, I don't see that the link you suggest provides any advantage there.
Or, as I said above, am I missing something? Andrewa 09:29, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Implicit in my phrase "gives you a chance to double-check your compiling of your research" (in Ph0 & quoted in Ph1) is what you've at least missed letting me know whether you're now aware of. Moving twd the point, i mean that which
Namely, your clerical error in Ph0, attributing two forgeries to the same IP.
Can we start w/ yr clarifying whether you are now aware of that error (and yr either IDing any obviated questions, or restating from scratch if you think that's more efficient) before i explicate more thoroly than the following?
I know how you feel abt SP (=Sock Puppet); i had to ask abt IASPO, even tho it should have been obvious when it appeared 3 times separating 4 IDs, in a SP discussion.
I should have instead said "fails to minimize verifiability effort".
I think you'll find that effort required, per SP verified as forged and single-contrib, is
IMO your clerical error got published (as you suggest, despite previewing) bcz you faced an even greater difference of effort in an easier, slightly different, related task.
Tnx for the helpful notification of resp, but plz skip add'l not'ns until we've finished with this topic: i'll watch for your responses till then.
Tnx for yr attn. -- Jerzy (t) 17:03, 2004 Sep 2 (UTC)
I just hppened to run across this today, in grossly overdue talk-page clean-up:
Hi Jerzy, someone recently used IASO as an abbreviation for "is a sockpuppet of". I wouldn't be surprised if it means something else too. 8^) Hope that helps, Wile E. Heresiarch 19:08, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
I note that i unconsciously evolved it from IASO to IASPO, which might explain the lack of an acro hit. -- Jerzy (t) 19:22, 2004 Sep 3 (UTC)
It seems that some folks, for whatever reason, are thinking that "the deletionists" are a problem best solved by unilateral action. You saw the Village Pump discussion, and you and I are on the same general side of the discussion. I hope you note also, though, what Netoholic has begun doing on VfD, beginning with Zhu Yu. I agree with most that some new scheme might be desirable, but we have discussions taking place three different places, and folks are starting to announce the thing settled. This will not do. Geogre 02:02, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
See comments at my talk page. zoney ▓ ▒ talk 10:54, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
There's a disclaimer at the top of the village pump that says "Please note: this page is not a place to make lasting comments. Discussions are removed daily to make room for new ones." If you have a better plan for archiving which does not "leave a lot to be desired", I suggest you propose this on the talk page. Otherwise, please do not attack the people who do remove the old sections. The page is currently 153kb, largely as a result of people not being bold enough to clear out the old sections because they fear people will complain about it in exactly the way you have done on Wikipedia talk:Deletion of user subpages.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the heads up on the vote. I for one am bewildered at the opposition to the policy being frozen while voting takes place—I have no idea how a policy vote can possibly work if the policy is changed mid-vote to something different to what the earlier voters supported or opposed?! That's crazy talk! — Stormie 23:19, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
I've replied to you on my talk page rather than split a discussion between two pages.- gadfium 01:34, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi, monitoring recent changes I noticed a alteration to a page that you seem to know about that looked suspicious to me. Year numbering was changed regarding "before present" and a new page was added, Before Present. Just in case you don't watch that page I thought i'd tell you so you could hopefully fact-check that. :D thanks rhyax 09:11, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I dislike the "experiment" of moving comments from VFD to talk pages (where they will never be read). Despite the name, the purpose of VfD is discussion, not votes. - Nunh-huh 22:58, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I know that I'm going to regret this, but I've been tinkering with a policy page. It's in the "so preliminary it's scary" phase right now, but your consideration is welcome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Managed_Deletion Geogre 17:46, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Jeeee, just realised I forgot to answer you :-( Perhaps I have misunderstood :-( How embarassing. Feel free to remove my vote from there if that makes a difference then Andrewa. That will be okay by me. SweetLittleFluffyThing

Thanks for moving RC4 (cipher)! And, sorry, I should have mentioned the discussion with User:Kevyn in my request ... I had assumed there was a consensus to move it (or, at least, a consensus that it was Wikipedia policy), but this isn't immediately obvious from the discussion. — Matt 21:48, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I just wanted to drop you a quick thank-you for the work you've done on flying fox, etc. Sorting out all those differences among Australian, American, and British English was a confusing — but ultimately fruitful — discussion. This is one of the reasons I like wiki so much: the authors themselves can broaden their own horizons (however clumsily), simulateously hacking a path through the jungle for future readers. Thank you! • Benc • 05:54, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Andrew. Got your message on my anon page and I wanted you to know that I'm back. I'm still limiting my exposure somewhat as I don't wish to burn out. So, I've added a couple of new articles and I'm working on the older ones I've done. Thanks for geting back to me. - Lucky 6.9 16:55, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Andrewa, unfortunately your workaround didn't work for me. However, your suggestion gave me the idea that it was basically a stylesheet problem, so then I delved into the monobook stylesheet. The odd thing about this bug is that it looks like there's plenty of blank space in an 800x600 res to fit in all the tabs, but nevertheless the display screws up by "wrapping" the tabs for some inexplicable reason. After studying the code for a while, I was able to locate the source of the problem:
#p-cactions { ... width: 76%; ... }
The above line applies only to the tabs at the top of the page, and to no other elements on the page. The problem the width statement creates problems is that 76% of the width of a 800x600 screen is not enough to hold all the tabs. Therefore, I then changed my stylesheet by adding this line to my personal monobook.css page:
#p-cactions { width: 100%; }
Now the tabs display properly in an 800x600 resolution! (Even better: this change does not create problems—or even change the display at all—in larger resolutions. In fact, I don't understand why the stylesheet developers even chose to make the width 76% in the first place; unless I'm missing something, it should always have been 100%. 100% doesn't screw up the column to the left, either.)
Anyway, thanks for the comments. You helped me find a solution.
-- Lowellian 05:26, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
Argg, okay, I spoke too soon. There is a slight problem with what I posted above, and now I see why the stylesheet developers chose to post a value less than 100%. It creates blank space to the right of the page, so that in an 800x600 res a horizontal scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the window. However, though 100% does not work, the following does (without being so wide as to create a horizontal scroll bar), and it fixes the stacking tabs problem.
#p-cactions { width: 80%; }
Now it works! (I think.)
-- Lowellian 05:35, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks Andrew. I don't get ruffled easily — and stay miles away from stuff where I might! Too much good stuff to do, if something gets zoofy, I just run. Best, Bill
I finally put why I put Sweetheart on Vfd in more detail. Also see Talk:Boyfriend for a complete description of how it is to be done. Any way that does not involve deletion?? 66.245.64.202 20:36, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, I remember that once upon a time you were interested in matters concerning Ancient Egypt. A group of us have been discussing the standardization the names & dates of rulers in this subject, & as a result of this discussion, I've put together a list of rulers & dates as a talking point for our proposed standard.

If mozilla (seamonkey suite) and firefox have such a drastically different behaviour on a website, I'm sure the mozilla developers would be interested to know about it and "fix" seamonkey (even in the case that our CSS is broken and not mozilla, if firefox is able to grok it, seamonkey should too). Have you considered reporting this at their bugzilla? In case you've already done so, sorry for the spam. Thanks! -- Paddu 05:42, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

We are currently in the process of deciding what the first topics will be. We have already decided that the first humanities topic will be Countries of the World:South America. We need to decide what our first science topic will be. We already have plenty of pictures available for Big Cats, The Solar System and Human Flight. We're having a little vote to decide which one we should work on first. Please come to Meta:Wikijunior project first topics. Cheers! Theresa Knott (Not the skater) 07:44, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the note. I don't know what to say about the whole deletion thread that brewed up last night, except that it seems quite a bit more exhausting to defend an article than it is to write one.
I apologize if I was over-ardent. The article really was the least of it: I write professionally, and there's a bit of ego that goes along with that, in terms of process and working on things until they're done -- an impulse to chase people away from one's workspace when one's in the middle of something.
Do these discussions happen often, or is the decision whether to delete an article usually pretty clear-cut? Auto movil 21:08, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi Andrew. I was just wondering where you got the figure for a 3GeV accelerator at Lucas Heights in your Australian Atomic Energy Commission article? I haven't heard of this accelerator but have heard of accelerators that they have there in the 3MeV range. Martyman 11:42, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
G'day Martyman.
I'm going from memory, so I may have the energy wrong. When I worked there, there were two vandergraafs in service. The big one was a proton accelerator in the same building that housed MOATA reactor, and that's the one I'm describing as 3GeV.
The little one was an electron accelerator in a lab across the road, and was far less powerful in terms of particle energy.
The fascinating thing about the two was that although you could safely stand next to the big machine while it was operating (for short periods with a film badge), the little machine gave off such powerful hard X-rays that it needed four inches of lead!
But my area of expertise was computing, not particle physics. I'll see if I can find an old annual report to verify. Andrewa 17:50, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man ( comment| talk)
Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:17, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. I'm not quite satisfied with it, but I think it captures some of the VfD flavor nicely. JRM 17:20, 2004 Dec 11 (UTC)
I fully respect you for stubifying the article, and your personal opinions. However, I feel criticising me for initially listing the article was a little over the top (although I can understand that people might not agree that the original article should have been speedy deleted). The initial article as it stood contravened Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not as it was solely a link, and being posted by an anoymous user I assumed it was spam/advertising (which, incidentally, it probably was).
Anyway, as my nomination drew attention to the article, and resulted in the page being improved it is for the better. Happy editing. Rje 21:11, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi andrewa, please have a look at Talk:Tee - I think you are mistaken about a point that you reinserted in tee. Best, Kosebamse 05:40, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi Andrew, I've just had a look at the article. This dormitory ( [2] engl.) does not seem to be a particularly remarkable one of the (many) student homes in Vienna. Only one (rather unusual) dorm is mentionend in de:Gasometer (Wien), I don't understand why the "Haus Panorama" deserves its own article. -- Markus 20:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hey, I'm just responding to your comment you left me in my Talk:Echidnae page. I see that the Ceciliantas page has been deleted, and looking back now, I think that was a good move. I'll remember what you have said to me, as I'm still learning how to use Wikipedia in the best way. I've been away on vacation for some time now, so it's been hard to get any amount of work done online in Wikipedia. I just thought I should let you know why my input on Wikipedia has been minimal for now. I do plan to get more involved when I get back home, as long as I have time I can devote towards it. Thanks for all your comments and replies to mine. Being new here, I like all of the feedback I can get. -- Echidnae 05:07, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The following are things others have added to my user page, I assume in error. They go back a while, and I have no idea now what some of them are about. Andrewa 10:05, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi...I welcome your feedback about User:Brettz9/videoscript not being on Requests for comment. My reason for including it here was not simply that it was a pet project that I wanted help with, but that it was really a project which belonged to the Wikipedia community. Perhaps such requests should be on a separate page, but I didn't know whether such a page existed. The name "requests for comment" seemed to fit. If you can think of a better alternative, please let me know. Thanks. [[User:Brettz9| Brettz9 (talk)]] 03:36, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hey Andrew... I removed it because it made what was previously part of the intro into the beginning of the main body of the text - I dunno if you did that on purpose, but I think it would be better simply as part of the intro, or else lower down in the main body if you think it needs to be expanded into its own section.

Hi, I hope you can visit [ |my proposal] to change an article back to its common english name, and can see your way to voice support for the move.

I don't particularly want to pile on Iasson, and I'm not really sure who created the article, but why wasn't it ever proposed for VfD? I don't want to step into a s--tstorm by proposing it, but my current hypothesis regarding Iasson's behavior is that he is in fact the creator of the Average Rule and is hoping to get Wikipedia to be the first organization in the universe actually to adopt it. It seems to me to be a neologism that's in no real use. I have this page temporarily on my watchlist if you want to reply here. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:31, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm sorry I only just found out about your response Request for peer review a few hours ago; unfortunately you'd posted your thoughts just one day after I left Wikipedia; the mindless reverting of Wik's & John's had made it impossible to contribute to any subjects on Wikipedia. - so I left for several months in hopes they'd be delt with or find something else to amuse them.
You comments were just the kind of feedback I was hoping to get before they started their edit & revert attacks last year. I've done a quick edit of the Map & Intro of the West Papua article; I would really appreciate your feedback if possible.
And if possible? Any comments on West Papuan genocide - though John's version is much funnier, he's removed the name of the document which the article is written around. Gota love them ;-)-- Daeron 19:33, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Just Separated non-province info to West Papua.
Moved Papua (Indonesian province) to Papua Province, Indonesia
Moved West Irian Jaya to West Irian Jaya Province, Indonesia
In accord with Wikipedia naming conventions, and what was proposed last week on discussion page. To confirm established world usage outside Wikipedia: Google "Papua Province" provides 737 English all non-Wikipedia pages; Google "Papua (Indonesian province)" provides 236 English only copies of Wikipedia pages. I submit John or Wik/Gzornenplatz actions are only motivated by personality difference.-- Daeron 21:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Greetings, and many thank yous for your support and advice regarding my series of Height pages. I hadn't the slightest clue this was going to be so controversial! I'm still having trouble getting into the minds of my attackers. Why does this upset them so? Thanks for the format suggestion for the six-foot-three page. I've adopted it as the future standard. Now, if I could only re-format the ones created beforehand... Anyway, I hope to win a few more comrades before the axe comes down on Thursday. Perhaps extending the upper range would help? 6'6", 6'7", etc.
