::: That probably isn't covered in Misplaced Pages because it would have to be verified, be npov, etc.
::: Right now, I'm taking a programming course, when it is over, I will try and make an outliner for Misplaced Pages. But I'll definitely need you to tell me exactly how you want it as I haven't worked with outliners before. One feature that may be useful is for the user to type a word and have the outliner search Misplaced Pages and Google and automatically generate a list of all the Wiki pages that may go in the outline. Don't worry about the specs right now though, I still have a huge mountain to climb.
::: The outlines you suggested on my talk page are excellent! Once they are created, I may spend hours reading through them. I particularly like the outline of time and planets the best. You will probably get ''a lot'' of help on outline of planets from that Wikiproject... from what I know, they're extremely active and have a tendency to make everything they touch a featured article. :) --] (]) 01:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Please contact me concerning anything to do with outlines or the Outline of knowledge WikiProject. Questions, problems, conflicts, AfD's, etc. etc. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for your message,good to talk to you again. My summers been fine, thank you. I've been easing off on the editing myself as it goes. I've really enjoyed building outlines so I'll definately do it again - as for the subject, who knows? Highfields (talk, contribs) 17:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello transhumanist! I've been messing around with the Misplaced Pages:Help Project and just realised I hadn't introduced myself to its founder :( !Hope you don't feel too disgruntled ... After fixing / or attempting to fix the intro pages in a valiant attempt to convert casual readers / interested parties into new, constructive editors - keeping the complexities of wikipedia hidden to avoid confusion, whilst hinting at the complexities of wikipedia to avoid confusion ;) I noticed a number of the help pages get an occasional editor with a good idea and some motivation, but the pages aren't watched and subscribed enough . My answer was to point them all in the same direction - there is currently no real central discussion, so currently I'm working on slapping a project banner on the numerous intro pages to this end... I might instigate a few other ideas e.g. why not assess help pages ? keep spreading the knowledge :) 22:06, 16 September 2009 (UTC) p.s. I think I might be a transhumanist too, my own intention is to try to prevent unecessary stress and suffering due to lack of quality knowledge .. L∴V22:08, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm very happy that the help project has found a new leader - I've been far too busy with the WP:OOK and WP:WPOOK to work on much of anything else. I look forward to seeing what you do with the help project and Misplaced Pages's help system.
It looks like you've captured the attention of Quiddity, and that's a good thing. It appears he has touched up the project page to assist you.
Whoa. I feel like we're characters in a fairy tale, with you asking...
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
I'm sorry Snow White, but you've got comptetion. :)
Outline of Buddhism is currently the most well developed religion-related outline, and it is also one of the best developed of all the outlines on Misplaced Pages! Eu.stefan has gone all out, and has dedicated an incredible level of effort to improve it. The outline covers just about every aspect of Buddhism (as far as I can tell), including its teachings, definitions of terms, etc. And it is still growing...
I couldn't believe Buddhism is more extensive than Christianity (I still don't know), so I went poking around on Google, using Google to search Misplaced Pages only, and noticed a huge number of articles on a great many aspects of Christianity.
Outline of Christianity barely scratches the surface of Misplaced Pages's coverage of the subject.
Well, I really appreciate the fresh insight and yes I was not aware of the Outline of Buddhism article; well developed indeed. Thanks for bringing the google/wikipedia search thing to my attention; no I was not aware of that either. Now that you have given me this information and new insight; I will be more motivated and will work dilligently on improving this outline and adding new content. Oh yes, I will look to the more developed Buddhism outline as a guideline. :) Burningview ✉ 20:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry I've been so inattentive - I've been on a wikibreak of sorts, and I've had my hands full "in real life" for the past couple of months. Hopefully, that will never happen again. :)
Thank you for the barnstar. It means a lot to me to be appreciated. It makes me feel like I've done something worthwhile. I'm very happy that you've found the OOK useful.
The barnstar you awarded to me is now on my userpage, where I display it with honor and pride for all to see.
Hello, The Transhumanist. You have new messages at Colds7ream's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
You may have noticed that I have been on a huge wikibreak over the entire summer, or you may not have. I am dreadfully sorry if my unexplained, unannounced, unplanned absence has caused harm to the project involving Outlines of Knowledge, but I am confident that you have recognized my absence and have delegated tasks to this project's additional staff. I have no real excuse for my absence; I haven't suffered some sickness or injury, nor a family emergency. I can't really say that I decided to take a wikibreak...it really just happened. I stopped checking my talk page, stopped editing, moved to other "hobbies". This is really just reflective of my style when editing...I have been through relapsing/recurring cycles when editing before. This was just the first time that I was engaged in an active project.
But enough self explanation. I am sorry for disappearing without notice, and while I can't say that it won't happen again (it most likely will), I can say that I will give due warning if I decide to take another break. With that said, I can start doing work again, although I will be limited to working in the evenings (Mountain Time) as usual. My bot is still functional; it still has its bot flag, and work with AWB should still be no problem. I look forward to your response, and hope that you can forgive my "discrepancy." Thank you very much, Robert Skyhawk (You'll lose) 23:59, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the heads up, and welcome home! I've also been on wikibreak for the past couple of months, with occasional sessions online to keep an eye on things. We have lots of work left ahead of us, though not any bot or AWB work at the moment. All the work right now seems to be manual, but you might be able to figure out a way to speed it up. I've been using WP:LINKY to speed up work on similar tasks on multiple pages, and I can use as much help as I can get because there is a great deal of this type of work. I'll be in touch again soon.

P.S.: while you are waiting for your next assignment, please take a look at Outline of space exploration and see if you can improve it. Thank you. -TT
I think I already posted a little on my vacation on your talkpage. Well, just to recap I spent a few weeks in Japan which was extremely fun. Towards the beginning of the vacation I went to a huge outdoor swimming pool in Inage but moments after, it started to down pour, which was when my camera and everything else broke. I managed to take a few pictures before that happened, which I will hopefully upload soon (I don't have access to anything that can read CF cards at the moment). But I didn't really take anything that would be too useful to Misplaced Pages and the pictures I did take, I see we have better alternatives here. Everything in Japan is so green and lush, whereas Southern California's as brown as dirt all around. I would just stare in awe at the beauty around including many large insects and miles of rice fields. In addition, the technology there is like 5 years ahead of ours. All the cell phones have TV capabilities and 10 megapixel cameras! I would get one except I can't read the language :( . I attended a few ceremonies like the obon and omatsuri which was a great experience as well. After I came back from Japan, we ended up not going camping because we ran out of time so instead went to San Diego and toured the area. It was very nice, the temperature was perfect for going out on the beach and view some of the wild life there. It was very relaxing. After I got home, I ordered a new camera among other things and that was the end of my vacation.
Right now, though, I'm overloaded with work from my classes and contributing is becoming more difficult, so I probably won't be able to help out for a while. When I get the chance, I will help out as much as I can. Working with you is such a pleasure. Well, until next time -- penubag (talk) 22:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
It's interesting to read that Japan is ahead of us in technology. I wonder if that is covered on Misplaced Pages. I'd enjoy reading an article comparing the technology of the two countries.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, and yes, now I'm jealous as hell. :-)
That probably isn't covered in Misplaced Pages because it would have to be verified, be npov, etc.
Right now, I'm taking a programming course, when it is over, I will try and make an outliner for Misplaced Pages. But I'll definitely need you to tell me exactly how you want it as I haven't worked with outliners before. One feature that may be useful is for the user to type a word and have the outliner search Misplaced Pages and Google and automatically generate a list of all the Wiki pages that may go in the outline. Don't worry about the specs right now though, I still have a huge mountain to climb.
The outlines you suggested on my talk page are excellent! Once they are created, I may spend hours reading through them. I particularly like the outline of time and planets the best. You will probably get a lot of help on outline of planets from that Wikiproject... from what I know, they're extremely active and have a tendency to make everything they touch a featured article. :) -- penubag (talk) 01:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
