Hi. Whosasking 04:18, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing the copyright infringement + rewriting the article for Cerberus Capital Management. I am not sure how it got in there...

No worries. Whosasking 00:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Waste homeostasis

Thanks for merging Waste homeostasis with Rebound effect (green marketing). However, you neglected to move the full content including the refernce to the Macleans article over to the latter article. Please complete the merge without loss of information. Thanks. --Jrsnbarn 22:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Whosasking 01:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you should dispense with the Harvard style reference. (I have gone back and kept it.) It would be more helpful if you could reference some of the material you have added with footnotes in the same manner. Fact checking is much easier when the references are in the context of the artice rather than embedded in a bibliography. --Jrsnbarn 04:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NATLFED

I've unilaterally rewritten the page on the National Labor Federation, a contentious political group for which very few people seem interested in, and for which most of the edits seem decidedly for or against the activities of the group. I hope we can start a discussion about the scope of the article (and resolve my question of whether the rewrite was an improvement or not). The discussions in the past have been more arguments about the facts rather than discussions about the encyclopedic aspects of it.

I might venture the opinion that the facts about the group (and what we can quote people saying about the group) inform people about it more effectively than exaggeration. This blog, on a reading of the NATLFED page in February], calls it "possibly biased." I believe we can do better.

Leave comments here, if you wish. Whosasking 03:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Satellites

From the articles I looked at, it appeared as if enough satellites were non-NRO (i.e., Air Force) that a separate category was warranted. Paul 02:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed. My editing style is somewhat quick-and-dirty, i.e. categorize a billion things in five minutes. Sourcing all that would be a pain although I find that having more specific categories makes articles more navigable and thus clarifies the subject matter. If I have some time it would be a worthwhile thing to work on. Best, Paul 04:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be interested in joining the Wikipedia Crime Project?

Just saw this edit - very good! Keep up the good work. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

carbon-14

I thought that we had arrived to an agreement some time ago. See the discussion around the paragraph"Yes. The wiki article is not a lab manual. Readers who want to do their own measurements can read the details in the NIST site. Also, this article doesn't need to overlap with info in the radiocarbon dating article.

your natlfed edit

Thank you for removing the two links that were in violation of wiki guidelines.

BTW, I've placed on my user discussion page a link to your CHA article that is not another encyclopedia. You might consider adding a link in the references section! It's too bad I wasn't around when the article was deleted by wiki -- I would have fought to continue it!

NATLFED article sources on my user-talk page

Thank you for providing the short synopsis on each article source on my user page. I've added a little more on a second line to most of them. karl m {{User electrical engineer}} (talk) 23:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Gerald Glaskin

I have nominated Gerald Glaskin, an article that you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

KH-7 Gambit spysat

The claim has been made (by Richard Hoagland) that this was taken by either Corona or Gambit cameras. Do you think that's credible? Stu (talk) 17:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
