User talk:Mike Johnson

Chiropractic

Hello Mike, Could you possibly stop by the Chiropractic article and help us approve the article? Larry is out for the holidays and asked that we work to get this approved without him. I figure we can work through this together if you've got the time. The article has gone through the ToApprove process and is just ready for the last step - whatever that might be;) Thanks, --Matt Innis (Talk) 18:24, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Matt, absolutely. I'll be done with holiday travels in about 5 hours and will see what I can do then. --Mike Johnson 12:45, 28 December 2006 (CST)

That would be great! I just asked User:Sarah Tuttle to help, too, but no response.. yet;) See you there! Thanks!!! --Matt Innis (Talk) 13:02, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Looks like we've got things under control. Good speed on banning vandals, by the way. --Mike Johnson 02:19, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Decided to concentrate on something I knew how to do. Itas good to work in teams too. I may have lockedout one non vandal Chen serov, but only for a few days David Tribe 02:21, 7 February 2007 (CST)

vandals are active Robert Tito | Talk 00:55, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Drop me an email whenever you need help and I'm not around- I'll try to be here post haste. --Mike Johnson 17:03, 9 February 2007 (CST)

off for the day, the fortress is yours Robert Tito | Talk 00:06, 10 February 2007 (CST)

Vertebral subluxation

Mike, would you do the honors of approving the Vertebral subluxation article? I think we've worked through all the kinks. It has been stable, so I think it is time! This time I only asked you;) Matt Innis (Talk) 11:17, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Sounds good- I'm on it! --Mike Johnson 13:16, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I noticed Gareth made some more changes, make sure and get the newest version! Matt Innis (Talk) 13:38, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Matt- all done! Let me know if there are any loose ends you'd like me to tie up. --Mike Johnson 13:42, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Yeah! Good Job!! Thanks Mike. Hopefully we're done with that one for awile;) Matt Innis (Talk) 13:44, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Message

Note the message for you on my talk page - just in case you aren't watching. Thanks. --Nicholas Kaye-Smith 18:49, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Do you know if user javascript is allowed on this wiki (that is, if localsettings.php has $wgAllowUserJs = true;)? This could be the reason why none of my javascript is working. --Nicholas Kaye-Smith 21:05, 15 February 2007 (CST)

I'm not sure if user javascript is turned on-- Special:Version doesn't seem to say. I've filed a bugrep about it- thanks. --Mike Johnson 23:30, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Any feedback? I can't find it on the forge. Thanks, --Nicholas Kaye-Smith 15:16, 18 February 2007 (CST)

No feedback yet-- I get the feeling the tech guys are working lots on anti-vandalism login procedures for the time being. I'll let you know if I hear anything (and feel free to file the user javascript issue on the forge, too). Cheers, --Mike Johnson 15:24, 18 February 2007 (CST)

It better NOT be allowed to run incase you want unsupported features arise. Robert Tito | Talk 21:09, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Input needed on how to educate more people on category importance

HGT V1.1

Ive discovered one errant period in the Hor gene transfer article. At the site of citation no 1.

It looks like this .(1). when it should look like this .(1)

I've corrected this in the draft.

To my way of thinking, you as constable can go in and get the period, save with a minor m change and that's it.

It a bit tricky as ref (1) is several papers, but you just delete the last period.

I cannot touch it as the last time I did something like that there was all sorts of fuss.;0)

David Tribe 06:15, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Done. :) --Mike Johnson 08:45, 26 February 2007 (CST)

main page protected or not

Mike

why unprotecting the main page? any contributions can be placed and moderated on the talk page - and that is an open page. Not having vandals right now doesn't mean no vandals tomorrow. cheers, Robert Tito | Talk

Ah, it seems vandalism isn't really an issue with our new account system, and Larry expressed a wish that we leave the main page unprotected so people can change it, and also because it's a sign of what's special about CZ that we can leave the main page unprotected. I'm not sure how important it is, but... --Mike Johnson 20:17, 26 February 2007 (CST)

You're right, Mike--you didn't unprotect it, either, but I just did. Rob, hey, if any vandal is idiotic enough to vandalize the front page, he'll be doing us a service by announcing to the world that he's a vandal. Then we can ban him before he does some more subtle vandalism.

Besides, Rob, we have never and I mean never had any vandalism during our periods of by-hand registration. --Larry Sanger 20:22, 26 February 2007 (CST) let me see if I can change that :))))))))

Thanks!!

Hi Mike, thanks for figuring out that I'd gotten blocked by mistake! I was just trying to figure out how to reach you! Russell Potter

Russell- no problem. Looks like a clever vandal! Gotta pow-wow with the tech guys on this one.... --Mike Johnson 19:22, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Wikipedia Signpost

Mike,

I've made some responses and some edits over at Wikipedia (removing as much of my opinion as possible, and toning down the language some), but I thought of something that you might be interested in. How about putting together a short piece on the plans and ongoing changes at CZ? This might be something that we could publish in the Signpost, alongside (hopefully) my report.

Also, I'm very curious about why Nancy Sculerati's userpage is a red link. Did she leave, and if so, will bios usually be deleted users leave? Considering how much she contributed, it's a definite liability not being able to track down who that author is when a reader is investigating the expertise behind an article.

Yours in discourse, --Sage Ross 14:08, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Sage, sounds intriguing. I might need a bit of time to think it over. I take it such a piece would be due Monday? Also, I'm wondering about whether swooping into a Wikipedia community news forum and talking about Citizendium might cause some problems... I'd enjoy writing the piece, and I think many people would enjoy the perspective, but as I primarily volunteer on Citizendium it might rub some people the wrong way. Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers, --Mike Johnson 15:59, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

I'll run it by Michael Snow (who I think is the acting editor this week), but I don't think many people would get offended. At least, its bound to offend fewer people than mine. Yes, it would be due Monday.--Sage Ross 17:52, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
