W.carter: I appreciated your earlier suggestions on editing. May I now ask your advice on finding editors interested in the same subjects I am interested in?
I have proposed revisions of the instrumentalism article on talk pages of inductive reasoning, John Dewey, and Karl Popper--with no response after several weeks. Are there further sites or actions I could take to find people with my interests? Many Thanks. TBR-qed ( talk) 15:16, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Dear W. Carter,
I am very very grateful, for the barnstar, it is honors for me.

Hello W. My immediate problem is to find WP help desk or teahouse so I can ask a question. What title do I search?
My next problem is to know which of these 2 sites is most appropriate to help me format references. I want to place 2 references side-by-side with different characteristics: the first an author whose book I will refer to repeatedly, but two separate page references here; the second an author with an article in an edited collection, to which I will not refer again. I am unable to attach the formatting I got and where I got stopped. Is this a tech support question?
Thanks in advance for suggestions. TBR-qed ( talk) 21:58, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey carter w.carter, you left something on my talk back page and there is no edit option attached to it. How can I then edit it? If you are unsure what I mean it ... I just went back to my talk back page and it is gone. So forget all about, later, aurum Aurumdog ( talk) 19:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey cart w.carter, sure why not maybe I can even thank myself while I'm at it - aurum Aurumdog ( talk) 20:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello W.carter! I hope all is well with you. I just thought I'd let you know, I'm thinking of spending my spare time this weekend trying to ameliorate the article about the fantastic City wall of Visby. The article could need a boost, I think. I'd just thought I'd let you know/warn you in case you'd like to contribute/will get a lot of pestering questions from me... :) I've stocked up on books from the library, but I'm sure there are things (language things, not least) that I will misunderstand or misinterpret, and that you have a better understanding of. Let me know if you're OK with me coming running with questions a bit later! :) Have a nice Friday evening, Yakikaki ( talk) 15:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Yakikaki:So... Just to see what we had, I put together this little list. I nicked the list-format from you (hehe!). It would be fun to have pictures of all the parts of the wall in case you need them or maybe this list can be at the bottom of the article or something later, I don't know. The names are such as I would translate them, but names stated in books may differ, if so use the ones in the books. I'm going to browse through my pics to see if I have some of the missing ones. The Wall is such an everyday thing for us so we hardly notice it any more. I walk in or out of it several times each day, so I don't always think of photographing it. I'm also going to nag and plead with some people I know have great pics of the Wall to get them to donate. The rest will just have to be a nice walk for me some day to fill in. Happy editing! w.carter -Talk 20:28, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Yakikaki: I did some edits. Going to disappear from the computer for a few hours now. Be back later tonight. Signing off, w.carter -Talk 18:13, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello, W.Carter. You answered my question about how to contact someone whose user id was known. I am still trying to understand the Wiki communication concept. If you get this message and answer it, then I believe I may have made a giant leap forward. Thank you. N142pb ( talk) 12:49, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh, your edits are great! And I was happy to see the pictures that you took, I took a sneak peak from the office earlier today. Very good work! I was thinking that maybe we should replace the "refs" section with "location" and include the coordinates? The references are anyway the translated article, and it doesn't give references for each individual section. When applicable, we can insert the references in the text straight away, instead. In one of the books I have there is a map of the wall with all the towers and gates named, so by using this I should be able to pinpoint the coordinates. But in that case, it will be after the text is done. What do you think? And yes, Drottningholm would be very nice to do :) (PS. I love that there is a Wikipedia article about evil laughter :D). Yakikaki ( talk) 16:07, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Yakikaki: All the major parts now have pictures and sections of their own. I don't think we have to bother with all the saddle towers and the nameless ones that are just called "ground tower" with no specific history as such. And with everything in place, I moved the list to the main again, where you can add text section by section at your leisure. :) I also put some new pics in the gallery, illustrating things in the "History" section. I think they cover pretty much all. Readers can look up the rest in the Commons. I'm not done uploading everything there yet. Btw, good season for taking pics, very few pesky leaves covering everything. And thanks again for the barnstar, so nice of you, I'm very proud to have. :) Good night for now, w.carter -Talk 22:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

So Amanda wasn't who she claimed to be? I don't why I was being so nice to her even after her sockpuppet incident. I knew she was heading down the wrong path when she started commenting on Jimbo's talk page. Wait a minute is she really is a she? Now I'm really confused about who to trust-- Chamith (talk) 04:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi again! I hope your deadline was met with success, and here's a formal welcome back for you! (If you find the balloons intrusive, just remove them – they will pop sooner or later anyway!). Someone finally came around to starting a review of the church ruins, and as you can see, the picture material was described as "first class". Well, if everyone had you as their paparazzo, it'd all be first class! Good night for now, Yakikaki ( talk) 21:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Good morning! I just dropped by to tell you I found an interesting site, which perhaps we could include among the external links? It's done by a Russian enthusiast who is very frank with the fact that he's not an academic but that this is a hobby, but it seems to me very seriously done and with loads of pictures. There's also a map with all the towers and so. Perhaps it could be fitting for the external links section, as a non-academic "want-to-know-more?" resource? Here's the link. I also wanted to take the opportunity to stress how much I appreciate what you do, really. I know I do not always respond to what you write and sometimes I go ahead and am too rash, but I hope you can live with me being such a "virrpanna"; your edits are always appreciated. Have a good weekend - you deserve it! :) Yakikaki ( talk) 09:27, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
@ Yakikaki: Just I case you're wondering were I've disappeared to, I'm down with the flu so not much editing going on. Hopefully the worst will be over soon and I'll be back to normal. Take care, w.carter -Talk 13:45, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi W.Carter , thanks for your answer in the Tea house, I want to delete German immigration to Guatemala and the content I want to attach another page I did german Guatemalan, but also I want the red link when a page that has been deleted or not yet created that no longer appears anymore, thanks.

Thanks for the tips on how to interact with others, how to know when a new notice and how to sign my discursiones, I will take into account that, thank you and have a nice day ( Halias 23) 12:01, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
After I finish reading carefully and learned to correctly reference, thanks for your help, only with the language cost me a few words because my main language is Spanish, but I know English , I'll take into account the recommendations to create good articles wording and references, again thanks. ( Halias 23) 13:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
@ Halias 23: Hello! I have no idea why you removed the "collapsible" on my talk page, but please do not do so. You should not remove any other users edits on their talk page unless they ask you to or if it is to remove pure vandalism. Most of us place these collapse-things on messages left by Bots, since these messages take up too much space on the talk page. If you want to see what is in the scrolled up section, just click on "show". Best, w.carter -Talk 09:44, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
@ Halias 23: Oh, and also: I saw that you had made a comment on Philg88's talk page. I'm glad you removed it since he was not being rude to you at all. The fact is that he was actually talking to you and not to me, only he did it "Wikipedia-style". The WP is a very transparant community and talk criss-cross on talk pages in ways that most are not used to before. He linked your name so that you could read his answer at the same time that I did. This is a very time-saving way of communicating we use here. The way I have now linked his name here ensures that he will also be aware of this conversation. The reason I asked that editor for advice is because he is a very good English writer and also an administrator who knows how to solve things here on the WP. I think he will be just as pleased as I am that you will now team up with someone who can help you with the language. We really need the articles you (two) can produce. :) Have a really pleasant evening, w.carter -Talk 18:38, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
