Thanks

Well, I'll try to make some edits (I am working on bijection), but watch my English - is faaaar from perfect :-(. Wojciech Świderski 03:38, 13 July 2008 (CDT)

Don't worry about your English. I think it's good enough, and if not, it will be corrected. I will watch the bijection article and see if I can improve on what you write. -- Jitse Niesen 16:18, 13 July 2008 (CDT)

Definition of a mathematical category

Thanks for the adjustment to the definition of a mathematical category. I'm working on an illustrated example. Peter Lyall Easthope 14:42, 13 July 2008 (CDT)

Wikimedia, copyright, etc.

Hi Jitse, when I needed a picture I always asked Stephen Ewen, but apparently he is on holiday, because he doesn't react to my messages. I like to have one picture of Hans Christian Oersted and perhaps two of James Clerk Maxwell. Wikimedia commons has plenty of those, but since I never bothered about copyright, I don't know if I can grab them. Do you know?--Paul Wormer 10:12, 4 August 2008 (CDT)

Proposals results

Hi. Some months ago two proposals were presented, one concerning an "Internationalisation sandbox" [1] and another about translation of approved articles [2]. I went to the Proposals main page and to its associated subpages to find the result of those proposals (it says that they were assigned to the Executive Committee), but nothing. Is it possible that I missed the page were the results of those proposals were posted or they still haven't been analysed by the Executive Committee? --José Leonardo Andrade 13:15, 16 August 2008 (CDT)

These proposals have not yet been discussed by the Executive Council. I don't know what's happening. Your best chance is to ask the proposal driver (Pierre-Alain Gouanvic and Jens Mildner, respectively). I'm supposed to check that the proposals do not get stuck but I'm afraid I have been slack recently. -- Jitse Niesen 07:10, 18 August 2008 (CDT)

Thank you for the information. The drivers of those proposals haven't been particularly active on Citizendium lately, I've checked their contributions. It worries me that it takes so long to make a decision, the proposal looses momentum and perhaps even people loose interest. I'll see if I can contact those users. --José Leonardo Andrade 13:31, 18 August 2008 (CDT)
