Hi! You marked all your edits to otitis externa as minor edits, but some of them were quite invasive. Generally minor edits imply trivial changes only, such as typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes and rearranging of text without changing any content. --WS 22:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

where are you[edit]

have you started your site yet??? Are you still writing??? I can't imagine that you stopped ;-) ---- Dēmatt (chat) 03:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, look at http://www.drsculerati.com - it's just getting started. I am re-writing and putting images in, moved stuff that I mainly wrote from CZ-and Christo's article that he gave me permission for. I paid for the site and had that name, I also have healthhelp.org which I like better, and will -once the site is decent- make an alias. It's really not together yet. It's not a wiki, but I was hoping that I might make part of it a wiki- so that health science and healing arts professionals (yes, that means you, Matt- of course I hope you'd want to) might have passwords to write - but what is written is available for anyone to read. Nancy

Awesome! Looks like you are off to a good start, though I didn't see a chiropractic article in there so you are going to need my help :-) I'll check in occasionally - don't forget to put your email address in so I can drop you some notes. I am so glad to see you are taking off!! ---- Dēmatt (chat) 12:48, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but...not really "off". I am learning the program while I write the content and put up the site-(so, what else is new?) and although I bought e-mail addresses, I haven't actually even figured out how to use them yet. Soon, though, soon. I would like to have an alternative medicine section and yes, Matt, I hope that we can work out a way for you to contribute happily. I am not sure if it's ok to write about this site on my wikipedia talk page, though. Is it? Anyway- I do plan to contribute to articles here as I write my own, I can at least put in appropriate references while I am reading the literature. Are you writing anything here? DrSculerati 14:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I quit for several months before going to CZ. I mostly just check in on the chiropractic article occasionally to give my two cents. It has been pretty stable, but there are always tweaks that are possible if others are willing. I worked on all the chiropractic articles here over the last two years as well as with Vitalism and Spinal disc herniation. It got too hard when alternative health wars started to flare up, so I had to back out. I think I have a conflict of interest, so I just add my two cents occasionally. ---- Dēmatt (chat) 16:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy, this is your talk page, so you can mention your website. Keep up the good work. -- Fyslee/talk 21:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Complex number[edit]

Hi, I will respond later to some of the points that you raised on Ragesoss' page. But let me already say now that what I wrote wasn't meant as a critique of your person. I didn't know your name before (to be honest, when I was posting this I hadn't even read the speculations on the same page about your person and your reasons for leaving Citizendium). The fact that your name appears several times in my summary of the communication process that was needed to get this error corrected is merely due to your central role as Approval Editor in that process - appearing twice in the chain from the person who spotted the error to the one who eventually corrected it, and in the content vs. policy conflict with the user who removed the tag out of process. And I can actually understand your reasoning to hold up policy and not to set a bad precedent quite well, although my overall impression is that the existing policy is making corrections and improvements too hard in this case. (There is something else that you said on that CZ talk page which I actually find really objectionable, but I didn't mention that yet.)

To summarize: I was describing an instance where a) Citizendium failed in a significant way on its promise to deliver reliable information with its approved articles, and b) the approval system made it too hard to get even a very simple and uncontroversial correction done. My interest in this is holding Citizendium up against the not very modest claims that Sanger keeps making about it, and especially to learn from the pitfalls of CZ's approval process because the German Wikipedia (where I am an admin) will introduce a very similar system soon. But I have nothing against the Citizendium users involved, which I am sure are all quite nice and capable people indeed. Good luck with your new project. Regards, High on a tree 03:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have a working knowlege of how approvals can be done, and if I can help you when you are establishing stable versions - I'd be glad to try, though we never got it down to a system, really, we did learn to work together on CZ. No hard feelings about your comments about the complex number article, you were right, it was difficult and awkward. You were not right about the hierarchy, the editor-in-chief there had little to nothing to do with the actual work of writing or approving. Anyway, I will write this on your talk page, as well.

Speedy deletion of Ernest Courant[edit]

A tag has been placed on Ernest Courant requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Ernest Courant[edit]

I presume the article would be about the particle physicist? I can see how the article has been tagged as no-context, but even a couple of lines would assert importance. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(reply to your message) No problem. If you need any help with formatting, you can give me a shout on my talk page. I did vaguely recognize the name when I saw it and I left a message on the article's talk page. I should be on for an hour or two tonight (my time) if you need anything. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (reply to your message) Sure, I'll be up for an hour or two yet. Don;t worry about leaving the under construction tag there for a day or two if you are working on the article. I see you found the article on the University of Rochester site; you might also want to take a look at the references on his father's article at Richard Courant for more biographical information.
