Hello, I have deleted JimCollaborator/Gallery. You should not put pages about yourself into the main namespace. Please use User:JimCollaborator/Gallery instead. Regards, jni 20:03, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Did you know has been updated and a fact from the article Williams X-Jet, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

--Rlandmann 22:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No Jim, the thanks are to you for such a cool article :) --Rlandmann 08:08, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi again and thanks for another great aircraft article! Just a couple of quick pointers -

Please don't modify the standard data section unless using it results in absolute nonsense (ie, "Wingspan" is absurd for the X-Jet, so "Footprint" was a perfectly acceptable alternative there).
Please don't place articles on specific aircraft types anywhere but at the lowest level of the category tree - eg "U.S. special-purpose aircraft 1990-1999", never just "Special-purpose aircraft".

Cheers --Rlandmann 01:25, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips! --JimCollaborator 01:31, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, I have now made the correction. MPLX/MH 05:21, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No problem. --JimCollaborator 05:23, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)

People had already cleared up the NLP spam when I checked; so I cleared up the NLP category system a bit. The articles on NLP really need work; but I keep hoping some dedicated NLPer with a bit of balance will get motivated. :ChrisG 14:03, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Circumcision and Anti-semitism[edit]

Hello Jim. I want to thank you sincerely for the efforts that you made on this article. I was very pleased with your contributions and I look forward to working with you in the future. The article has been deleted. I do not know what your feelings were on the value of the final version of the article before deletion. I am appealing the process at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. If you have any input I would be happy to see it put there. Once again thanks for going the extra mile for this article with changes less than average of survival. Your da man.

Jewish Wikicabal[edit]

Hey! I see on User_talk:Slrubenstein that you seem to be implying there is no such thing as a Jewish cabal on Wikipedia. I'd like to let you know, there is! We're meeting at my house right now—playing cards, eating pasta and drinking whiskey (gotta clean up...pesach is coming!). You're welcome to come join us! :-p (obviously, my tongue is stuck to the side of my mouth...) Tomer ^TALK 23:14, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Appeal for balanced help with NLP[edit]

Hello JC. The NLP page has had quite a lot of turbulence recently, however, it has also undergone quite a lot of information gathering over the past months. There is a problem with a particular zealous NLP promoter who reverts the page at every opportunity and works hard to remove any kind of good research related to even remotely negative facts about NLP.

I myself am an NLP teacher, but I believe that NLP beliefs should be questioned using rigor and fact. It helps the learning process. Perhaps that is beside the point, but basically I am all for Wikipedia creating a good NLP page. I reckon a purely neutral NLP page is really difficult, but a well researched one with a balanced set of views is an excellent idea.

I believe all that is required is to revert when people are being unreasonable/misbehaving against wiki convention, and revert when people remove researched fact without reaching consensus. The page has just been judged by the "authorities" and a ViewOfAll page was determined by them, so we have a solid re-starting point.

Would you be able to pop in every now and again and revert any nonsense/spamming/ from any zealot? Your balance, education, and reason will be much appreciated. Best regards HeadleyDown 08:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I noticed you listed yourself as open to requests for photos, and was curious if you felt like venturing out of Seattle a bit to help fill in the photos as List of Registered Historic Places in King County, Washington. Cheers! Murderbike (talk) 22:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group[edit]

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: II (April 2010)[edit]

Sociology Project • News • April 2010
The Sociology WikiProject is conducting a roll call (or min-census, if you prefer). More then five years down the road, we have over 50 members, but we don't know how many of them are still active in the sociology area. If you are or want to become once again an active contributor to the sociology content on Wikipedia, please move your name from the inactive to the active list on our roll call. In other news, we have reactivated the newsletter :) At least, for this announcement. We also have a new, automated to do listing, an active tag and assess project (which has identified about 1,800 sociology articles on Wikipedia, and assessed about 1,3000 of them), and three new userboxes for your self-identification pleasure :) On a final note, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: III (December 2010)[edit]

Sociology Project • News • December 2010
Spreading the meme since August 2006
The Sociology WikiProject third newsletter is out! According to our April mini-census, we have 15 active members, 6 semi-active ones and 45 inactive. Out of those, 4 active, 3 semi-active and 1 inactive members have added themselves to corresponding categories since the mini-census. The next one is planned, roughly, for sometime next year. The membership list has been kept since 2004. On that note, nobody has ever studied WikiProjects from the sociological perspective... if you are interesting in researching Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Research and wiki-research-l listerv. Moving from research to teaching, did you know that many teachers and instructors are teaching classes with Wikipedia? This idea is getting support from the Wikimedia Foundation, and some really useful tools have been created recently. I have experience with that, having taught several undergad classes, so feel free to ask me questions on that! And as long as I am talking about professional issues, if any of you is going to any sociological conferences, do post that to our project - perhaps other members are going there too? In other news: the a automated to do listing reported in the April issue went down shortly afterwards, but seems to be on the path to reactivation. We still have an active tag and assess project, and comparing the numbers to the April report, we have identified about 350 more sociology-related articles (from 1,800 to 2,150) and assessed about 100 (from 1,300 to 1,400). We now have a listing of most popular sociology-related pages. It is updated on the 1st of every month, starting with August, and reports which of our sociology-tagged articles are most frequently read. Of course, GIGO holds true, so after looking at it right now and trying to determine what is our most popular article, my first action was to shake my head and remove Criminal Minds (which, perhaps not too surprisingly, outranks all sociology articles in period tested). Second item I noticed it this month's Industrial Revolution, beating Criminal Minds, that moved from close to 30th position in August/September, to 9th in October and 2nd in November. If you'd like to discuss this or any other trends, please visit WT:SOCIOLOGY! Finally, with the reactivation of Article Alerts, we are getting our own here. Bookmark that page so you can keep track of sociology related deletion debates, move debates, good and feature article discussions, and more. Our first task force (Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Social movements task force) was created (1 June 2010). If you have basic or better graphic skills, our projects needs a dedicated barnstar (award) (currently the closest we can get is the Society Barnstar. As always, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.
