No rush on the Rizzo article, you were nice enough to offer to take a look at it, so whenever you get to it (or even not) is fine.

Spangineer~ yup I think you are right.. I was thinking of adding a *famous quotes* type section to the article. The article as it stands is not very encyclopeadic.. i would welcome your thoughts about this.-- Rev.bayes 23:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
EWI (Edison Welding Institute) is a non-profit organization very identical in nature to TWI (The Welding Institue). In fact, TWI helped to create EWI. Because The Welding Institue and the Canadian Welding Association have links on the wikipedia welding page, I would expect that wikipedia would afford the same fair rules to listing EWI, North America's leading R&D organization for materials joining and welding. Please explain why our link should not be included on the page if you are willing to list TWI and the Canadian Welding Association. Thank you.

My user name is EWI, please respond with explaination of why you have removed the link to EWI from the welding page, I have explained why EWI should be added to the page. Thank you.
Perhaps I should request clarification from the Wikipedia management. I disagree with your perspective about excluding EWI as an additional link on the page. If necessary, I'm sure another Welding expert or authority unconnected to EWI would agree that it should be added to the page. As a new contributor to Wikipedia I am not completely versed on its spamming policy. By no means, do I intend to spam the site. I would like rules of fair play to apply to the page. EWI provides many pages of information on Welding and I repeat is similar to The Welding Institute in its mission to assist those in need of weling R&D.

Spangineer, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling. I wish I had time to thank everyone personally, but I'm afraid all I can offer is this token of my gratitude. I hope to live up to your expectations/hopes. If at any stage you need to contact me, for help or a request or to point out a mistake in my conduct, please make sure to tell me on my talk page. -- Fir0002 08:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC) |
Hi Spangineer. Could you go through the Ladakh article once, and make some improvements in the prose if possible? Copyediting does require the review of multiple editors, and I've gone through the text so many times that I have gotten too used to it to figure out what to do to improve it. Your contributions will be appreciated. deeptrivia ( talk) 02:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
Noted with thanks. I agree with your comment about their daughter, Grace not needing a link to a page. However, there are several publications that note the understated significance of his first wife, Maria Dyer. (From Jerusalem to Iryan Jaya, Not Less Than Everything, and Hudson & Maria, pioneers in China). If Taylor was responsible for the widest evangelistic campaign since the time of Paul the Apostle, and his wife was instumental in more than half of the workers being versed in Chinese - there is warrant for some study of her as a biography. Best regards, Brian
Hi, thank you for your help with the FAC Forth. After that experience I realized that it is far easier to find citations as you write the material rather than go back a long time afterwards. I am currently working on programming language and would like it to be a FA someday.
The problem I am running into is I diligently find citations to support my proposed material but the other people in the project are constantly trying to come up with reasons for their proposed material based on their general knowledge and not on specific citations. I keep telling them that even if they are right it doesn't help without a citation (verifiability not truth) but they don't seem to understand me. Is there anything you can do to help me convince them? Perhaps I could direct them to your essay and your talk page here. Thank you for your time. Ideogram 04:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback, Spangineer. It's just the start of a larger resource, and yes, I think the experiment has worked.
One aspect I'd like to introduce is an intermediary "hint" for some exercises: they press the hint button to receive a partial answer, or a stimulus that will put them on the right track. Then they press the answer button for the complete answer. Psychologically, I think that's a good way to help people, at least some of the time. Tony 15:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the award and the support on Poetry. But, you know, I figured out what this was all about when I adopted the Franklin D.

While I have your attention...recently an anon added a huge amount of bold text to the B. B. King article. It's just a series of B.B. quotes concerning his early life. The text is copied directly from another website. At the end of the quotes it does include the source of the text. My question is...Is is OK to copy that much content from an external source?. The web link is there(albeit subtle). It was my guess that to include such a huge amount of content like that would A)be frowned upon or B) require a much more prominent posting of where it came from in the first place. If you get the chance to look it over and let me know the "Wiki-ways" I'd appreciate it. Thanks and take care. Anger22 00:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Please undelete Lion Ambassadors; it had the {{ hangon}} tag and had an open AFD. Thanks. -- Spangineer [es] (háblame) 12:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
(This is in response to your comment on my talk page.) No problem, I understand your frustration. I think the main problem was that the article really didn't make any claims of importance about the group. If the article asserted that the organization was the most noteworthy organization at the university (for some reasonable definition of noteworthiness—organization size, perhaps), and provided a reliable source for this claim, that might count as an assertion of notability, and the article might avoid speedy deletion (although many editors take a laxer view of the criteria for speedy deletion than I do), but even then, there's no guarantee that the article would survive an AfD debate. Much better would be a citation of significant media coverage, at least by local media outlets. — Caesura (t) 13:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Since the article on Lion Ambassadors, a part of Penn State that many Penn Staters are familiar with was deleted, I'm considering putting Nittwits, an organization a lot of Penn Staters haven't heard of, back up for afd. Thoughts? -- Jtalledo (talk) 17:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Spangineer,
Thanks for changing the ITN comment back to 'beat'. Would it be possible for you to add a comment above that line, informing people that this is the correct British form, to avoid random people changing it again without realising there's a debate? Cheers — SteveRwanda 15:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey! It seems like you comment/edit the FACs a lot and have some helpful advice, so I thought I'd ask you if you'd be willing/have the desire to copyedit the Duke University article. It is a current FAC but someone has opposed it requesting a "throrough copyedit from someone unfamiliar with the text." Anyways, if you'd be up for it, I'd really appreciate it, but if not, I'll understand since university articles can sometimes be boring if you don't have a personal connection to the particular institution (I think this article is interesting though!). Let me know. Thanks! - Bluedog423 16:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok can you do the same with Selena which is in FAC, a copyedit. Please Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 20:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I am entering text mannually, but I am constantly checking for spelling. I agree that it might be a good idea for a modernized version. I put in the modernized version, but I am slowly going through it to provide Bunyan's original spelling and punctuation. I guess that it would be OK to keep the biblical references in the main text. We could put the marginalia in footnotes. I would think that we should stick to the marginalia that is original with Bunyan. Your thoughts would be helpful on this. Thank you for your interest.-- Drboisclair 16:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I know you are probably a busy person, but I was wondering if you could do a a run-through the Eric Bana article to help remove bad prose. Tony had placed his objection here due to the article's bad prose and would like a different editor other than myself to go through it and fix a few things. The changes that you had made earlier were very well done and any help you can offer would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All 14:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Spangineer - I've addressed your points (I think). Please take another look at the article - if there are any other outstanding issues, please let us know so we can fix it asap. Cheers, Rama's arrow 21:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, thanks for your kind words, Span. I'll consider this, but I think I should finish the article and exercises first. Because it's very incomplete, I haven't even provided a link to it from the FA criteria page.
BTW, would you mind having a look at my my four exercises in sentence length? They're an offshoot from User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_2a#Chopping up “snakes” in the main article.
Do they work technically on your computer? (One person complained of distortion.)
Do they work in educational terms? (I wonder whether they're too wordy.)

I've just had a proper look at the Rhetoric thing. I don't like it. FAR too technical/jargonistic, and not practically oriented. To allow people to acquire skills, you have to use the hide and show method, preferably with hints. Tony 16:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi there.
No, I don't just hit save without reading - of course not! I don't change direct quotes, or proper names of organisations etc. However, last night I was obviously not careful enough, and not reading all the paragraphs in context. As you can see, a couple of others already pointed this out to me.. and they're perfectly right of course. My edit to Operation Auca was done last night. Today I (hope) I have been a lot more cautious. Actually I was in the middle of re-editing the article in question, to revert the edits and clarify them - then I tried to save and found you have been reverting it at the same time :) I have edited again, but with clarity too. I hope the new version is okay with you. If you take issue with any of my other changes please do let me know: as I say, I am being a lot more cautious now to ensure that none of the meaning is lost or changed, but it's good that other people are watching.

Hi Spangineer - I request your help in making this article an FA. I just re-wrote large segments of the article, and I need your critical analysis to determine what to do next. Help! This Fire Burns.....Always 22:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
As a past participant in the discussion on how to handle the Georgia pages, I thought you might be interested to know that there's a new attempt to reach consensus on the matter being addressed at Talk:Georgia (country)#Requested_Move_-_July_2006. Please come by and share your thoughts to help form a consensus. -- Vengeful Cynic 04:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
My apologies for removing one of the consensus-approved links at the Six Sigma article; I was cleaning up a linkspammer and that link was collateral. Thanks for restoring it and not flaming me for the removal! :) -- AbsolutDan (talk) 15:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Please undelete Lion Ambassadors; it had the {{ hangon}} tag and had an open AFD. Thanks. -- Spangineer [es] (háblame) 12:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
(This is in response to your comment on my talk page.) No problem, I understand your frustration. I think the main problem was that the article really didn't make any claims of importance about the group. If the article asserted that the organization was the most noteworthy organization at the university (for some reasonable definition of noteworthiness—organization size, perhaps), and provided a reliable source for this claim, that might count as an assertion of notability, and the article might avoid speedy deletion (although many editors take a laxer view of the criteria for speedy deletion than I do), but even then, there's no guarantee that the article would survive an AfD debate. Much better would be a citation of significant media coverage, at least by local media outlets. — Caesura (t) 13:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Since the article on Lion Ambassadors, a part of Penn State that many Penn Staters are familiar with was deleted, I'm considering putting Nittwits, an organization a lot of Penn Staters haven't heard of, back up for afd. Thoughts? -- Jtalledo (talk) 17:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Ho ho, I see you got in there on that idea before I did. Well done! — SteveRwanda 19:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Spangineer,
Thanks for changing the ITN comment back to 'beat'. Would it be possible for you to add a comment above that line, informing people that this is the correct British form, to avoid random people changing it again without realising there's a debate? Cheers — SteveRwanda 15:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey! It seems like you comment/edit the FACs a lot and have some helpful advice, so I thought I'd ask you if you'd be willing/have the desire to copyedit the Duke University article. It is a current FAC but someone has opposed it requesting a "throrough copyedit from someone unfamiliar with the text." Anyways, if you'd be up for it, I'd really appreciate it, but if not, I'll understand since university articles can sometimes be boring if you don't have a personal connection to the particular institution (I think this article is interesting though!). Let me know. Thanks! - Bluedog423 16:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok can you do the same with Selena which is in FAC, a copyedit. Please Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 20:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I am entering text mannually, but I am constantly checking for spelling. I agree that it might be a good idea for a modernized version. I put in the modernized version, but I am slowly going through it to provide Bunyan's original spelling and punctuation. I guess that it would be OK to keep the biblical references in the main text. We could put the marginalia in footnotes. I would think that we should stick to the marginalia that is original with Bunyan. Your thoughts would be helpful on this. Thank you for your interest.-- Drboisclair 16:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I know you are probably a busy person, but I was wondering if you could do a a run-through the Eric Bana article to help remove bad prose. Tony had placed his objection here due to the article's bad prose and would like a different editor other than myself to go through it and fix a few things. The changes that you had made earlier were very well done and any help you can offer would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All 14:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

For greatly improving the Eric Bana article, I hereby reward Spangineer with the The Original Barnstar! Thank you for all your time and effort! -- Underneath-it-All 03:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC) |
Hi Spangineer - I've addressed your points (I think). Please take another look at the article - if there are any other outstanding issues, please let us know so we can fix it asap. Cheers, Rama's arrow 21:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, thanks for your kind words, Span. I'll consider this, but I think I should finish the article and exercises first. Because it's very incomplete, I haven't even provided a link to it from the FA criteria page.
BTW, would you mind having a look at my my four exercises in sentence length? They're an offshoot from User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_2a#Chopping up “snakes” in the main article.
Do they work technically on your computer? (One person complained of distortion.)
Do they work in educational terms? (I wonder whether they're too wordy.)

I've just had a proper look at the Rhetoric thing. I don't like it. FAR too technical/jargonistic, and not practically oriented. To allow people to acquire skills, you have to use the hide and show method, preferably with hints. Tony 16:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi there.
No, I don't just hit save without reading - of course not! I don't change direct quotes, or proper names of organisations etc. However, last night I was obviously not careful enough, and not reading all the paragraphs in context. As you can see, a couple of others already pointed this out to me.. and they're perfectly right of course. My edit to Operation Auca was done last night. Today I (hope) I have been a lot more cautious. Actually I was in the middle of re-editing the article in question, to revert the edits and clarify them - then I tried to save and found you have been reverting it at the same time :) I have edited again, but with clarity too. I hope the new version is okay with you. If you take issue with any of my other changes please do let me know: as I say, I am being a lot more cautious now to ensure that none of the meaning is lost or changed, but it's good that other people are watching. Thanks. EuroSong talk 17:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
