Hi Peter, I would have emailed this to you, but you don't have an email address registered, so I'm using this way to get in touch with you. Looking at the history of the Furlong article it appears that you contributed the statement about the furlong being standardized around 1300. I'm researching the history of this unit and I was wondering where you found this information. You can respond here as I will watch this page, or if you like you can email me since I do have an email address registered. Thanks! Canon 00:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that was my edit. My two edits were a couple of spelling/grammar changes. Looks like the change you're referring was made by Sarcha 45. Vgranucci 02:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Not a problem. Obviously things are a bit restricted because things have to work with the other editors who aren't as receptive to your suggestions, and this kind of keeps the article back. Anyway, I might say that your suggestions will be able to move further if you provide some sources and actual proposed changes rather than general comments. Right now people have just railed against them and dismissed them, but it is not as easy to dismiss reliable sources. Anyway that section is a mess but perhaps you can make new sections for each concrete suggestion. The Behnam 21:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new computing-related project:
' WikiProject Java is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to the Java programming language and its platform.
- If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Java technology in Wikipedia, which may be more than ALL other programming languages articles combined...
- At least, it's more than for C++, and there IS a C++ WikiProject...
- And it's MUCH more than the .NET WikiProject with 82 articles...
- There is also a Ruby project and a Python portal so...
- Now you can also see a proposal for the Java Portal (temp location).'
