I'll have to find out how to transclude the definition page, but I'll look at it later. --Robert W King 15:57, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
- Can you show me a page that has a def link in context? --Robert W King 16:42, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
- On the related articles page, the definition is already transcluded from the template:def page, so I'm not sure I understand what you want to have happen that wouldn't be redundant. --Robert W King 06:45, 13 April 2008 (CDT)
Thanks!

Your template {{pl}} is really cool!
Robert: Chris Day just applied your template to the list of my created articles on my Talk page ... and it is really cool!! Just wanted to let you know I like it a lot. - Milton Beychok 14:11, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
- Thanks! The idea was inspired by Lee Berger and the code was modified from something I saw Chris do with the subpages template. -Joe Quick 18:05, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
- I have created over 45 new articles and I don't check on each of them every day. Recently, two of them were nominated for Approval, but I wasn't aware of that until the last day of the Approval period. Right now, the {{pl}} creates a green check mark image when an article has been approved. Would it be much of a chore to have it create some other mark when an article has been nominated for approval? Perhaps simply a different color check mark? - Milton Beychok 23:22, 13 May 2008 (CDT)
Joe, I took the liberty. See Template:Pl#Up_for_approval. Chris Day 04:00, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
Hi Chris, as I liked this implementation, I tried the same for {{rpl}} but seem to have to come too close to the system limits again for some of the larger article lists (core and biology). Any suggestions? -- Daniel Mietchen 04:27, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
Thank you
Today the Dokdo article will be approved. Thank you for all the efforts you put in. The article is in so much better shape now. I can compare the two and see so much positive difference. If you hadn't come in to check on the article, I wouldn't have checked on it either and several key flaws would have remained on the article upon approval. Thank you again.

- You're welcome. If our collaboration helped to make the article better, then the Citizendium system is clearly working. --Joe Quick 09:39, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
From your friendly neighbourhood mistress of ceremonies
Hi Joe--I see you signed in at The August Party. Do join us on Wednesday September 2nd for what I hope will be a very active party with music, music, music. Theme: "My Favourite Band" (or, 'ensemble' or 'group' or 'orchestra' or 'singer' or 'recording' or...?
Hope school's going well. Aleta Curry 00:18, 8 August 2008 (CDT)
Joe Lewis
Ho Joe, remember in January 08 you asked me to approve the article on Joe Lewis..which I did. I was just perusing the sports group looking for drafts and found that the Joe Lewis article is still listed under drafts as well as approved. I don't know how to remedy this.Gary Giamboi 18:36, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
- I think what you're seeing is the approved article in the approved category and the draft in the draft category. That sounds like a really dumb explanation, let me explain. The draft is there for people to further develop while the approved version is locked and cannot be edited. If the draft is ever developed to the point that it is better than the locked article, then an editor can "re-approve" it and the locked article will be replaced with the improved draft. --Joe Quick 18:50, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
Thanks for the quick reply. Do most people know this? I didn't. If people do not know it, then they will just see that the approved article can't be changed. Gary Giamboi 21:46, 24 August 2008 (CDT
- That's a good question. I assumed that most people knew, but maybe not. There's a pretty prominent notice at the top of approved articles that says "Help improve this article further on the draft page!" but we might want to put another note on the page that people see when they try to edit a locked page. I'll look into that. --Joe Quick 08:56, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- That would probably be useful, Joe, if it could be done -- to have a notice pop up if someone *does* try to edit the approved page; ALSO telling them to go to the draft article for editing. Hayford Peirce 11:20, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
