| :No problem. Also I've noticed that this page has a number of non-articles there. As I've said before, people trying to insert weird stuff on the wiki tend not to subpaginate. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 09:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

| Thanks for your disambiguation of [[Labour]]. I have been trying to sort out a terminological mess, and that helps.

| == Thanks for the U.S. political help ==
| |
|
| |
| It sometimes helps to have eyes on terminology, especially when a well-intentioned "native" author is working from journalistic sources rather than direct experience in the operations of politics. You have a good eye.
| |
|
| |
| While I do have considerable direct political experience, I learn things from visitors. I'll never forget the observation of a friend, Swedish-born and European raised, now living in the U.S. and indeed teaching U.S. history as she finishes her doctorate. I was playing tourguide in Washington, DC, where I lived for about 40 years and know rather well, and we had first visited the Lincoln Memorial (which still has an emotional effect on me like few others). We walked two blocks to the Vietnam War memorial, "the wall", and Pia Kate commented "how appropriate these two monuments are so close!"
| |
|
| |
| Puzzled, I asked her to explain, and she asked "weren't these the two times your country had the greatest internal instability?" One might make a couple of other suggestions, but it was a profound insight. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 07:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

| == Obama personal article vs. administration article ==
| |
|
| |
| What is your thinking about how closely the articles should be tracking? For example, I put material about the [[National Security Council]] reforms into the administration but not the personal article, because Obama himself was not especially part of the discussion. True, the [[Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs]] was talking about his official relationship to the President, but I felt it wasn't [[James Jones]] talking about his relationship with [[Barack Obama]]. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 04:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
| |
| :Thanks for adding more to this article. Yes, I agree with you - material on the personal article should relate more firmly to Obama himself, and the activities of the many members of his administration are for the [[Obama administration]] article.

| == Hawaiian language ==
| |
|
| |
| I want to write an article on the Hawaiian language, but I am afraid that I just wouldn't do it justice. Perhaps after I write up the basics, you could look over it for me? I'm don't have any formal education in Linguistics, nor do I have any real experience with Linguistics, but having grown up in Hawaii, I do have some experience with the language.[[User:Drew R.

| == Citizendium charter drafting commitee nomination ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi John,
| |
| You've been nominated by a fellow Citizendium member to be a candidate for election to the Citizendium charter drafting committee.
| |
|
| |
| If you haven't been following the discussion in the forums, we're getting ready to establish a charter for Citizendium that outlines the project's goals, ideals, and basic structure. To get the process moving, we put together a plan for electing a group of Citizens to compose a draft of the charter, which will then be submitted for community review. You can find more about the plan [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee|here]].
| |
|
| |
| You've been nominated by another Citizen to be a candidate for election to that committee. The next step is up to you: you may either accept or decline the nomination by going [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee/Nominations|here]] and following the instructions at the top of the page.
| |
|
| |
| If you have any questions, just let any of those who accepted know. [[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 15:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

| == Charter drafting nomination ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi John,<br />You were nominated by a fellow Citizendium member to be a candidate for a position on the Citizendium charter drafting committee, but you haven't indicated whether you want to accept or decline. To learn more about what the committee is all about, you can go to [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee|the page that describes the process]]. To indicate that you either accept or decline the nomination to participate in the process as a committee member, you should visit the [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee/Nominations|subpage for nominations]]; there are instructions on what to do on that page.<br />Thanks much!<br />--[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 03:48, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

| == Speedydelete ==
| |
|
| |
| The speedydelete template causes problems when the file is transcluded. Definitions are often transcluded (by the r-template).
| |
|
| |
| Thus it is safer to use <nowiki> "<{{subst:fast del|text|sign}}>" </nowiki>.

| == Speedy deletes ==

| Please enclose the speedy template in noinclude tags, as explained at [[:Category:Speedy Deletion Requests]]. Otherwise, you risk labeling for deletion also other pages (those to which the content of the correctly labeled ones is transcluded, e.g. Related Articles pages for Definitions). --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 06:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
