Soil science redirects to Pedology (soil study)

I am a new user. If I understand the history correctly, you established the soil science page on June 25, 2002 and set it to redirect to the pedology article. Would you object if I reworked the pedology article to be consistent with the wiktionary definition, with pedology being the branch of soil science that deals with soil genesis and soil classification?

I understand that pedology means literally the same thing as soil science. I am also aware that several individual field soil scientists in the United States have preferred being introduced as pedologists to distinguish themselves from agronomists, geologists, geographers, sanitarians and engineers who opportunistically represent themselves as soil scientists, but who in fact have only minimal soil science training and experience. I am also aware that the term soil science doesn't translate as easily as the term pedology, and that some national soil science societies have chosen to call themselves pedological societies.

Despite the above I find very persuasive considerations in support of clarifying pedology as being one of several branches within the soil sciences. Most soil scientists known to me are not enthusiastic with the pedology term as a comprehensive term for soil science. Practice in the pure science aspects of soil chemistry, soil physics and soil minerology are particularly difficult to define as branches of pedology. Furthermore, the ascendancy of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) has made soil science the clearly preferable term.

I maintain my certification as a professional soil classifier, so I can certainly appreciate that soil science would not be what it is (a robust discipline independent of geology, agriculture or the biological sciences) if it wasn't for pedology. Pedology is the single most important and defining branch of soil science. I certainly can't fault anyone who defends promoting pedology as the preferred term. I just think that the world has moved on beyond the 1970's and 1980's, a time when pedology quite possibly could have supplanted soil science as the preferred term.

Paleorthid 19:25, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hello Paleorthid.

Yes, I started this article, at the same time of agricultural sciences, which we rather call agronomy in my country. At that time, the encyclopedia was entirely empty with regards to soil science and agri sciences. I remember that at that time someone complained that the word pedology was too much "jargon", but I must admit that I stick to it, precisely for the reasons you seem to mention. These were not as clear in my mind, but indeed, what I was willing to discuss was more about "hard soil science".

Your arguments seem okay to me. Indeed, when I studied, my class was called soil sciences, and had a rather large meaning. While the lab where I later worked was a pedology lab. Hmmm, of course, yes, you are most welcome to rework all those. Especially since rather few editors have work on them (there was a lot of work done on soil life). I have no time any more to work on articles this year, but I sure am glad that my favorite fields are taken care of :-)

Additionaly, would you be interested in working on soil classification ? I would love it for the ecoregion project... (my little pet project...)

Cheers

Image:Astilberose.JPG

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Astilberose.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 23:36, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

"So young"

That gave me a bit of a chuckle. How old did you think I was? How "young" do you think I look? Keep in mind, the picture does not show very well how much grey hair I have. --Michael Snow 22:06, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Well, 30 is nearer the mark than 45. But since our demographics are decidedly skewed towards a younger crowd, maybe I'm mildly surprised that people would assume I was that old - not that 45 is old. Even 30 is well above the median contributor age I would think. --Michael Snow 00:33, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Requests to view deleted articles

Can you please show me the wikitext of any significant content that was in List of civilian killed by US force in Fallujah? anthony 警告 18:48, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I don't see it (in any of my email accounts, but specifically not in the account I have set in my preferences here, if that's the one you used). I've actually never received an email through the Wikipedia email system, but I hear that it works sometimes for some people. anthony 警告 04:12, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why did you blank the election disendorsements page?

Hi, what did you expect would happen following your blanking of the disendorsements page? Did you think that everyone would immediately have nothing negative to say about anyone anymore?! --Rebroad 13:30, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I did not expect anything really special to happen. I mostly wanted to see what would be done, in particular if editors would proceed in the way of criticizing editors in such a disastrous way. In short, I did something that anyone could do, or could reverse, which was done.

However, I think that maintaining a list to only put criticism on people is just such a poor move it should just not exist. I think it is forgetting that most editors on Wikipedia are people giving hours of personal time in a common goal and in good faith.

In a community, there are enough reasons to be in disagreement, and enough reasons to get mad at each other, that setting a public list only to say "this person is just plain bad and plain wrong" is an extremely destructive idea in the long run. I absolutely do not support the idea.

Incidently, I find quite interesting that so unwikilove comments are left in this page, while my own comments were censored. I would suggest that the editor who censored me either restores part of my comments or that he apologizes to me.

In all cases, I never involve myself in english wikipedia policies. However, since I was asked to approve the current procedure for election of AC, I consider it is part of board activities to be involved in this case. And the procedure did not involve such a page.

It would be very seriously wrong to claim I prevent people to say negative comments about others. I made comments on the talk page on that topic. I have voiced myself enough criticism of some editors in 3 years not to claim voicing criticism is bad and should not be done :-)

Consequently, I have a constructive suggestion to make :-) Since on one hand some people want this page dedicated to criticism, and on the other hand, this page is not part of the procedure, what about keeping that page, but not as a subpage of the AC election ?

Vandal?

Think yourself lucky only to be called a vandal. He accused me of election fraud. However I don't think Xed is a troll in the usual sense of the word. I honestly dont think he knows what he is doing. He is the brightest of people and simple assumes that if anyone does anything that he disagrees with then it's perfectly acceptable for him to say the first thing that comes into his head. He never backs down, even when clearly in the wrong, so there is no point in trying to reason with him I'm afraid. Fortunately for the most part, eveyone just ignores him. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 09:55, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hummm ?

This place is really populated by strange people ;-)
Okay... I will only put him on the ignore list then.
What is a bit problematic in such cases, is that if old participants know of these types of personalities, they can avoid or ignore those. But I believe a newbie could be pretty much discouraged in participating to Wikipedia by such a person.

You know what I find real tough Theresa ? Since I basically do not have any more time to participate to the english wikipedia, there are many many people I just do not know now. When I read the anti-endorsment page, I can guess that most participants to it are not amongst our best elements, but I am just not sure. Because in most cases, I do not know these people. Or if I do, it is only by earsay, not primary experience.

This is essentially the experience of a newbie. And the experience is tough, because when you navigate in policy discussion pages, you can find many of those often unpleasant personalities. And most of them are specifically involved in those pages. If you are a newbie, or just dropping by from time to time, you have no idea of the weight and quality of each person and general respect for it, and it makes it a rather uncomfortable experience.

I realise two things. First how much a web of trust might help, even though a web of trust might have bad consequences in excluding personalities which are important elements but often difficult to deal with. Second, that in dealing with Foundation issues, how lucky we are that basically all those involved are really good people. Even though we may not agree all the time, all involved do their best and they want to do the best.

Well, thanks for your comment :-)

Your name is on the list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC for December 12. In case you forgot to check the page, the venue and time have been both been set. We are planning on meeting at the Moonstruck Diner at 1:30pm. Just wanted to let you know. -- – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 23:09, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)


RFC pages on VfD

Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:18, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey, I'm going to shift your comments to the new admin noticeboard... if you have any specific objections to this please let me know. - Ta bu shi da yu 22:31, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Call for AMA election

AMA Member Advocate,

There's a poll currently in the AMA Homepage about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the AMA Homepage talk page. Cheers, --Neigel von Teighen 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Call for Membership Meeting

Hi Anthere, how have you been. It's been a while since we have communicated. Here is the blurb I am posting on all AMA members pages. Hope you can participate:

As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on Wikipedia:AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. — © Alex756 19:35, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Is this a typo?

Hi Anthere. I just read the article on Civility. It's got a link to your original article m:incivility and a comment saying that the original article was called "uncivility". Is this a typo I should fix? PaulHammond 16:52, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Using the Signpost to test rules

Anthere, I think that is a good suggestion regarding using the Signpost to discuss rules that may need to be changed. I will bring it up at the next meeting. It would be nice if you could come to a meeting, I don't know if the time is bad for you, Michael Snow can't make that time, but we haven't set another time yet for our third meeting so if you have any suggestions it would be great for you to attend (but if you can't I know you are busy with a lot of activities on Wikipedia). — © Alex756 23:35, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi Anthere. Did you see a message from me on the foundation wiki a few days ago about the next board meeting? It seems to have disappeared completely, both from your talk page and from my contributions list.

Also, do you know if anything happened about Arno having no access to that wiki?

nothing either...
