Hi, I know that you're on a short break, but AIDS is up for FA status and we could do with some input. -- Bob 20:40, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I guess you're wondering who I am and all that. I'm currently training to be a nurse in Australia, but I'm here for a different reason, really.
Currently, English NursingWiki has around 90 articles, in comparison to the German NursingWiki, which has well over 2000 articles. I was wondering if a group of technically minded nurses would mind commiting some information to it and helping it grow.
It's a little bit different from Wikipedia, in that it's designed for content that Wikipedia cannot have, such as steps for drawing up a nursing plan and the like, but I'm finding it a valuable resource already in my education, and I think it could become a very valuable resource very quickly if it had a group of nurses comitting their knowledge.
Tell your friends, and be bold!

I had already been made aware of the article by another party. I've been reading through the talk page and have posted information about the RfC on the medical portal. Hopefully we can get enough people together to approach this topic reasonably. InvictaHOG 08:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
...I was busy posting on talkpage. Yes, 13 Cats is from a graphic novel he is working on--I know it for a fact. But, it's important to remember viz Wikipedia that the standard is "verifiability, not truth"--so whether I know that or not, or your opinion of what the source says doesn't refute the source: "in spite of what the alumni magazine says, it's not" is not information Wikipedia can use; Wikipedia uses sources, not the opinions of editors. Please do not aggressively remove sourced infomation because you disagree with it--it's still sourced information, and removing it could be called vandalism. Reklaw is not a controversial subject, I don't really understand why you are removing sourced information from this article. Cindery 06:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm gonna give it a rest at least till tomorrow, so do whatever you think is best and reply as needed, and I may or may not argue some more later. I'll just say this, and hope I don't sound too much like an asshole: it looks like you started editing four months ago. OK, maybe you were around earlier under a different username or something, and I'm no Jimbo Wales. Still, it's really not such a great idea for your very first communication with someone to be like this - "Please do not aggressively remove sourced information because you disagree with it .... removing it could be called vandalism" - unless you're really really sure that they totally don't know what they're doing and you do. You jumped in with reverts while I was still moving stuff around - where's the fire? Do you think text is lost for all time if a revision exists without it for one evening? Does my own edit history really look like someone who's just goofing around or is unfamiliar with WP or comics articles? I know you put a lot of good work into the article, but that's no reason to go in with guns blazing when someone's 2/3 of the way through a large revision and is carefully commenting every single edit. You don't have to agree with me but please assume good faith; I will do the same. Å©Hob 07:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
You removed 3/4 of the article, all of it cited content, with zero discussion on the talkpage... Cindery 07:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I have over 2,000 edits and have created several articles, so yes, you do "sound too much like an asshole." Any experienced editor knows that if you make "bold" edits with no discussion, you should expect bold reverts are a possibility. Again, Reklaw not a controversial subject--unless you have "ownership issues" over comics articles, or displaced animosity towards Tolkein fans and their long article. (I will happily help you shorten that "fancruft," if you like :-) But I don't see the point of sniping or hostility or aggressive editing viz a short article on an alternative comic artist. ? Cindery 07:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for never leaving any huge rants on my talkpage like the one below again. Wikipedia is a "content over community endeavor," and I am not obligated to personally engage with you to the extent that it appears you would like to engage with me. If you remove huge amounts of cited content without discussion, expect that it is likely you will be reverted; it's standard on Wikipedia. Removing cited content is vandalism--I assumed good faith enough not to put a vandal warning on your page, I just replaced the cited content and asked you to discuss on talk. Cindery 10:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Hob.
I have been annoyed a few times by a certain editor, and I known many others have too, including you. But I am unsure how to proceed. Are there sufficient ground to get him blocked? Would he just reappear with a different name (though his style is easy to recognize)? Is the best way to keep silence, not to engage in fruitless disputes with him? After all, he is not disrupting any articles; he is just wasting our time on the talk pages. Please see my post on the issue at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts#24 November 2006. At this point I have chosen not to name him - perhaps that's silly. Any comments?-- Niels Ø 22:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Hob, congrats on a fine job on this article. It's been somewhat expanded and fine-tuned since then. Can you be tempted to come back to it? Particularly needed would be summaries of the stories in articles on the anthologies, and perhaps separate articles for the more notable stories. Also, an uploaded cover illo would be nice-- I'm hopeless at the task. Good work on the Jim Woodring article. You're a pretty good cartoonist yourself! Rhinoracer 13:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article The Talking Band, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Greetings! I am currently a visitor of the English Wikipedia and do address you because of the argument you had with the forementioned user a while ago. You might find it interesting that user: BZ(Bruno Zollinger)'s account has been permanently blocked in the German Wikipedia since yesterday. Please have a look at [1] and [2]. The reasons are basically the same as in this case and maybe worse: Provocative talk topics, not a single edit in any article, chat with user:Jahn Henne (who are not identical, based on this evidence). The actual resaon for his account having been deleted was that he indirectly accused the authors of the article on the Nazi Hermann Goering of a right-winged political point of view. (cf. [3]) You might also find it interesting that BZ created his account here in the English edition of WP at or shortly before 7/28/06, the very date he was blocked from the German edition initially for three months. I anticipate that his behavior may become worse, since BZ is not able to get attention for his weird thoughts at the German Wikipedia any more. He might therefore concentrate on using the English Wikipedia for this very purpose more intensively in the future. 67.172.157.35 02:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Greetings Hob,I realize you may be away indefinitely at this rate judging by the sparse talk/communications, but I wanted to reach out to you because I've revised and expanded a great article that is a central focus of mine, -and that I believe you originated: World War 3 Illustrated. I and a few other editors (Isisitrix, NitroBurnin'Delaney) have been researching the history of the comicbook/magazine, its influential key players and wanted to know what you thought about it so far and also what we might be missing. Its formative years are a little before our time so I filled in what I could find in other zines, reviews etc. and a New York Times article about its 30th anniversary from this year, but there's a big gap in the early years before the Tompkins Square Riots when a lot of reviewers imply that it was more of a Sci-Fi anthology, and the early covers I've seen seem to bear that out (somewhat). Please have a look and volunteer whatever facts you think are missing/important to understanding the magazine's origins and development. Thanks for getting this ball rolling way back when. We are also creating sandbox pages for other notable artists responsible for the magazine's direction (development across years) like Sabrina Jones.( Sintauro ( talk) 15:26, 4 June 2011 (UTC))
