Norman Borlaug

I've nominated the Norman Borlaug article as the next Collaboration of the Week, as the article is pretty short considering that he saved a billion lives. Please vote for it at: Wikipedia:Collaboration_of_the_Week#Norman_Borlaug --brian0918™ 17:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Perldrunks

Thanks for reverting my reversion. Perldrunks looked like obvious spam (it sounded like a 'monks pejorative). I'm glad you caught my mistake. Best, David Iberri | Talk 08:59, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

Glad to be of service. I thought it looked like spam too, but I followed the link and checked it out. -- Dominus 15:41, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

New Mathematics Wikiportal

I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your message. I know what you mean about collaborating with people- it can be tough, and not enjoyable to everyone. Nevertheless, I thank you for telling me, and I wish you well in your work, and as a Wikipedian. ral315 15:39, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Mathematics Project Participants List

Hi Mark. After some discussion here, I've converted the "WikiProject Mathematics Participants List" into a table. It is now alphabetical, includes links to the participant's talk page and contribution list, and has a field for "Areas of Interest". I'm letting you know, so you can update your entry, if you want.

perl main article

hello, ordinary perl monk from germany, (beside the fact a big fan of your) currently writing de:Perl. and yes maybe to early because the artikcle is nearly half ready as yours but i see that your article seems a bit unstructered and also written in whole different style. are the japhs here happy with it or to lazy or you think i doesnt make much sense to synchronise it. thanks for answer.Lichtkind 18:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

understood, so when im happy with my german version i hopefully try to translate it and show you and the other current editors of the article to correct or merge it, best wishes, BTW selfadvertising-->currently im developing an gpl crossplatform editor in perl it will maybe become en full fledged PerlIDE on top of perl6, something that we miss if you have any wishes or ideas for it let me know.Lichtkind 20:07, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 22:48, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Bank of America Tower merging

Hi, I saw that you suggested that Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park be merged into Bank of America Tower, New York City. Just wanted to let you know that I'd support either one being merged into the other. To be honest, I didn't realize that an article on the tower already existed before I created Bank of America Tower, New York City, mainly because I went to the Bank of America article and saw a link going to Bank of America Tower, New York City that was red and decided to fill it in. Anyway, whether the New York City one gets merged into the Bryant Park one or the Bryant Park one gets merged into the New York City one is fine with me. Thanks, Jaxl 13:03, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't have much preference as to which should be merged into which; I only suggested the direction I did because one of the articles seemed a little more extensive than the other. -- Dominus 13:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for letting me know there was another article, then. I'll see if I can take care of it. Jaxl 13:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. -- Dominus 17:15, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

RE: Ports

Howdy, I am disappointed that you only added one port to the Bulk Cargo article. You could have added more than just that one, it gives the article a bias, POV, slant.

I disagree, contest, argue. -- Dominus 13:42, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, I thought you might like to know that the Port of South Louisiana is not the only port effected by Katrina, nor are the other ports tonnage listed with the Port of South Louisiana totals. Here are the other major ports affected:

• Port of South Louisiana
• Port of New Orleans
• Port of Baton Rouge
• Port of Plaquemines
• Port of Lake Charles

Sources:

• USACE top 150 U.S. ports; all 5 listed
• Port of New Orleans listed at number 38, 76,116 tons @ AAPA

The golden radio

Hey Mark, is the reference on your talk page intentional? Or was it a typo too good to kill? Hv 01:08, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Totally unintentional. -- Dominus 04:23, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Chalky White

Hi. A very minor and inconsequential question - I noticed you'd redirected Chalky White to You are X and I claim my five pounds. Chalky White is a character by cartoonist Chris Ware who I'm about to do some work on. Currently the character doesn't really warrent a Wikipedia page (though it may in the future) but the redirection has me utterly puzzled. Could you enlighten? Peteashton 01:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

See Lobby Lud. -- Dominus 04:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Aha! Peteashton 08:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

User:Jaeyounkim

You put {{delete}} here because it was a vanity page.

I didn't. That user created a "Jaeyounkim" article in the main article namespace, and I put the speedy delete tag on that article. It was subsequently moved to the User: namespace.

But that's the user's page and he has every right to edit it as he wants.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 06:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Philadelphia Project

Hi i have noticed that you have edited several articles on subjects related to the Philadelphia area. Several other users and myself have got together to creak a project to help improve, expand, and create articles concerning the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley region. While our project is still new, we are inviting people to join us to help it get started off on the right foot. You can find the project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Philadelphia, feel free to add your name and drop off an suggestions that you might have. If you have any questions, drop me a line anytime. Thanks. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your invitation. I don't think I am really cut out for organized projects or collaborations, because the time and opportunity I have for editing is irregular. Also, strange as it may sound, I don't like collaborating with people. But I do think your project is a good idea and i wish you the best of luck with it. -- Dominus 14:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Thats cool, the inviatation is allways open, and their is no requirement for workload or anything like that. Feel free though, as you can, to help us out with adding articles or improving existing ones, and to drop a line a question or a comment as needed or to chime in with your opinion. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 00:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Schur's theorem

Just in case you haven't noticed: I have posted an answer to your comments at Talk:Schur's theorem. I would like to hear your opinion. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 16:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Licenses

I've been tagging untagged images and I stumbled across three that were uploaded by you: Image:Ribosome.png, Image:Ribosome subunits.png, and Image:Ribosome structure.png. I feel like these might be your original creations, but after reading your userpage it doesn't really match up with your other contributions. Anywhoo, I've tagged them as {{unverified}} for now. Feel free to retag them with the correct tag (maybe {{GFDL}}). If you don't feel like tagging them yourself, let me know and I can take care of it for you. Thanks! --MaxPower 17:23, 6 January 2005 (UTC)

You're right I think, the Nupedia article states: "Nupedia was always intended as a free content encyclopedia. Initially the project used a homegrown license, the Nupedia Open Content License. In January 2001 it switched to the GNU Free Documentation License at the urgings of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation." So I will just go by that I suppose. I haven't been around long enough to ever have been to Nupedia ; ). Thanks for the info though, I should have used my brain some more! --MaxPower 18:12, 6 January 2005 (UTC)

John A Roebling-- August v. Augustus

I get 8600 hits on "John Augustus Roebling" and 675 hits on "John August Roebling". It is possible he used both forms. I am inclined to change the article name to the Augustus form, due to the prevalence-- also, Britanica uses Augustus, and his son's middle name appears to have been Augustus. Any arguments against the move? (you made the Augustus article a redirect to August back in Sept 10, 2003, maybe because they were both stubs but the August article was a tad longer?) TIA, Mwanner 21:46, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

At that time, the "Augustus" article was only one sentence long, and i did not think carefully about the naming issue. It seems to me that "Augustus" is clearly an angliciszation of his original name "August", just as "Roebling" is an angliscization of "Röbling", so having the main article under "John August Roebling" does not make too much sense. But really the right thing to do is to find some authoritative source (not a Google search) and put the main article under the name under which he was primarily known in his lifetime, and redirect everything else to there. Thanks for noticing this issue. -- Dominus
