Hi there - See Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology amd Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life. --mav 12:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I actually came across the article while on new article patrol. I really enjoy that particular patrol because it allows opportunities to make the types of additions I made to this article early in its life. I don't have a particularly large amount of expertise on topics like this one, but I was happy to do a little bit of online research and a little bit of formatting work to help things along. Good luck with your project -- I'll try to remember to check out what you add. Erechtheus 04:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC) </smalll> == Welcome == I came here to see who's working on impact factor and some other articles I'm watching. Heh. Looks like the Welcome brigade hasn't been here yet, so here goes:Welcome! Hello, DGG, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: *The five pillars of Wikipedia
manually tabulating publically available data from each journal's website is not plagiarism. aggregating 'IF's by various scientific disciplines is adding new analysis angle on data. just like if i retabulate/redesign data from a table into a figure-- its not plagiarism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Epiding (talk • contribs) 07:33, 19 September 2006.
Hi, thanks for joining the WP:Extra-Long Article Committee. Short on time today; you will usually see me doing most of my wiki-work Mon-Wed (and sometimes on Sat and Sun), approximately. I suggest that we draw up an ELAC constitution or charter (i.e. guidelines) that we all can agree on. An example might include giving pages ample notice, in terms of weeks, as to when a particular page is scheduled for committee involvement. More ideas on this later, talk soon: --Sadi Carnot 05:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I see your point, and it is a good one. Feel free to delete it, but I still don't know why you or anyone else would care if there is an article out there on wikipedia that only a few people look at. I am new to wikipedia, so I did not know about the construction tag, so thank you. Also, as you may have noticed and that I did not realize until now, the newcomb link goes to the Newcomb family. However, I was refering to a sport that I played at Camp Robin Hood. The Junior Campers play it (Archer/Bow/11 year olds and younger); it is like volleyball but you can catch the volleyball so young kids can play. You can only have three people hold the ball on each side, and when you're nine years old, it's can be tricky to get the ball over the net and/or catch it, so the game is fun. Anyways, I hope you don't delete the article, but if for some reason you or somebody else feels it must be deleted, go ahead. Oh, and if you can, plese tell me in advance if you are going to delete it. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rggwiki (talk • contribs) 06:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
Thank you for informing of so much about WP that I would have never found out for a very long time! I thought about the article about Camp Robin Hood, and I decided to add the prod to it. In case you are wondering, I still go to the camp, and my cousin is a counselor. Also, I know John Klein from various things, and that is how I got to go to camp ever since I was 9. Anyways, I think I am going to take your advice and write an article about newcomb. Once again, thank you for your tremendous help! Rggwiki 03:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Re: your comments on Woodblock printing: ""an instrument for printing texts and pictures ... with 14 stones for printing" which is probably too early to be a Gutenberg-type printing press in that location.[1] "
I don't know anything about this case in particular, but from the context, I would imagine that the "stones" referred to are printing blocks - i.e. with letters or characters carved into them - and not weights. LordAmeth 10:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I always appreciate knowing when I've missed the mark. I will go back through them and make sure I've undone my errors. I've been working on the underpopulated categories list, and I'm learning a lot as I go. I do appreciate your offer of assistance, and will take you up on that. Kind regards CRKingston 01:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words; most of my talk page is taken up with people saying, "How dare you delete MY article!" :-) I try to delete only things that I think will clearly pass AFD; despite that, I would say my record at AFD is no better than 75-80%, but that is chiefly due to articles being improved during the process. I appreciate the support, of course, although I don't "astroturf" my AFDs - if they don't survive a random assortment of opinions, they don't. --Brianyoumans 02:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Your comments are nonsense on three counts. First, the discussion was about the article as it stood when I removed what looked like a wholesale CV dump, not about the book citations. Second, the phone book provision is clearly not applicable for resumes, as resumes require a considerable creative input from the author in deciding what to include and how to present it. They're also generally considered as copyrightable which you can glean from the copyright provisions of any job search site like monster.com. That doesn't prevent you from compiling a book list for an author but it puts copy-and-paste jobs outside of fair use. ~ trialsanderrors 21:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I have a Ph.D. in business, and much (or at least a decent fraction) of my work concerns the economics of intellectual property, so your repeated admonishment comes across as somewhat patronizing. As I posted in the AfD discussion, the article at the time when I blanked the CV part was 10% context, 90% presumable copy-and-paste, which is clearly outside of fair use, and more so, outside of WP:FU which themselves are an (appropriately) conservative reading of fair use. I have no problems with bsnowball putting the book cites back in, although I would prefer that someone who is interested in keeping the article actually creates an acceptable encyclopedic context. But the 90%/10% mix I removed was clearly outside of WP:FU and fails your criterion 3 (§ 107 (3)). The articles were also not added individually: , so I stand by my decision that absent attribution removal as potential copyvio is perfectly defensible. ~ trialsanderrors 01:10, 12 December 2006
Dear fellow editor, I gave the analysis and the link primarily for the benefit of others who may have been following this discussion, and I did not mean to imply otherwise. I remind them that it is not necessary to fulfill all four criteria. Unlike some such rules in WP, this rule is interpreted by the courts as a balancing test. 3/4 is quite sufficient, and where the lawyers usually get into it is 2/4. But I'm not a lawyer, and in general I do not like ruling on content in an arbitrary or numerical way. As they are currently being interpreted, there's a very narrow space between copyvio and OR/V, and most WP articles would fail. DGG 01:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I responded to your comment and expect feedback. --Ghirla -трёп- 08:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, this is a stock message addressed to some active participants in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adams County Public Library. The debate is closed and the result was merge all to their respective locales. You are invited to help with carrying out the mergers; please see the instructions in the AfD closing note.

Thank you for helping out a newbie... I really appreciate your editing my Whip Jones article. Your advice on the Edison Pioneers I have a request in with the Henry Ford Museum to help me get the complete list of Edison Pioneers. You Rock! Can you help with a KEEP comment in the AfD for Whip Jones?
some filters may let that through--if so, you can change your preferences so your real name appears as a signature. Otherwise, i see you added yoer name at the end of a posting, which will help.DGG 21:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow! Look at : Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Snle . His edits seemed highly harmless to me.

Hi, in regards to your interest in creating articles for journals, we are already working towards that goal over at Wikipedia:List of missing journals and WP:LOMJ/Queue. In light of your su
The category sggestion on Template talk:Infobox_Journal to "reward" the true OA journals, I would like to create a WP:LOMJ/OA that lists everything in DOAJ, in order that we can create articles for those first. It looks easy to screen scrape the DOAJ listings, but if there is another way to access their db, that would be better. John Vandenberg 20:06, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
There are basically 2 ways of doing this. big, and small.
In my view, it would be a much more useful thing to make good articles with accurate information for important journals, OA or not, than doing all the journals major and minor. Among the significant ones I would start with OA ones, which is what I suggested.

btw, thanks for pointing me towards ; I've been looking for such a raw data dump for about a month now! John Vandenberg 23:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Please can you counter my points in the deletion entry of this article so the case can be closed for now. My point ran along the lines - there are no variations of Halacha (lit:the way), whilst non orthodox streams essentially compromise the steadfastness belief in GD, Torah and the leadership of gedolim, they do not subscribe to Halacha and therefor do not seek to create their own variation of it. The only issue Conservative Halakha confronts is its internal problem of accepting Gay Rabbis. If we have Conservative Halakha, articles like Conservative God would have to be created too. Hope you understand. Thanks frummer 07:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC) Done, though you will not like what I said. But I at least have the advantage of some of the participants of actually having read Conservative (and Reform) Halakah in the form of Responsa. I look forward to years of discussion on more specific topics. DGG 23:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I think your assumption that OttoBib is only reference management software is incorrect. It actually looks-up the ISBN number in several databases, where RMS requires the user to enter the data, and just stores it. It's function is similar to ISBNdb.com, so I think they should both be together, or they should both be removed from Bibliographic Database. Dhaluza 04:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
You said "the start flying" rather than "they start flying". Fix it if it pleases you. Cheers, Tomertalk 06:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

And you?
I still think a good bio should always mention parents, siblings, and children. Mentioning the names, for me, is de riguer, but details beyond that may of less interest to most readers. To me, its what is verifiable, and that is dependent on whether someone took an interest in writing a biography in the past. If I am interested in an obscure person, I want to know everything about them, but that information may not be available because no one took the time to record the information, when it was available. In the past that was dependent on the marketability of the information collected since it was so expensive to publish. Now its cheaper to record more information on minor people. So how are your biographies going? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I started him off with a two-line stub because I have seen officious bots going round de-linking redlinks, and there are several to him which it would be a pity to lose. I'm not planning to do more at present, assuming you are still interested in doing him some time. Happy Holidays! Johnbod 23:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I've linked the Wikipedia and Wiktionary entries on "cock tease" to each other. Also, the Wiktionary entry had nothing for the metaphorical usage. Hoping you and Jokestress won't object, I've added that usage, citing both of your examples and references. – SAJordan talkcontribs 03:03, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Hi, I saw you deprodded this article. I stil think this article doesn't belong on wikipedia (IMHO of course) so I put it up on afd here. Thought i'd let you know. Garion96 (talk) 03:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
