I engaged in Wikipedia as a project to determine its appropriateness for student research. It's time to end the project. I'm impressed with many of the editors here, especially the film team (Erik, Alientraveller, Yllosubmarine, Stetsonharry, BIGNOLE, and many others) and others such as Daniel Case. My goal was to see in what ways WP could be used by students and teachers in furthering learning. I have no problem letting my students use WP with the usual caveats (a starting point for research), but, unfortunately, I am no longer in a position in which I can promote it as a good tool to colleagues. Some may find enjoyment in what passes for average "discourse" and "discussion" in the WP community; I no longer can.
Thanks for the experience.

Hi, Jim, sorry to see you've left the building. I wanted to talk to you about A Canticle for Leibowitz and whether you had plans to take it to FAC. Viriditas (talk) 21:07, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Viriditas suggested I talk with you about submitting it to peer review en route to FAC. I looked at some relevant featured articles and made a suggestion to Talk:A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz#Characters, but my bg is sci/engg, not literature, so I hope you and Viriditas will tell me what to do. Sharktopustalk 20:17, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Jim, see also: Wikipedia:Peer review/A Canticle for Leibowitz/archive1. Please add any items you would like feedback on in the review. I'm trying to find a volunteer (or two) to review it. Viriditas (talk) 09:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

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.

The file File:BRHS 2008-7 Ethnic Breakdown Graph.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused, low-res, no obvious use.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
