Thanks for your suggestions

I ended up using a different citation, but I thank you for the list of articles about the PSU investigation. I thought the AP article was best, but the date of the investigation wasn't clear in the article (unless I scanned it too quickly). One other reference you provided itself linked to a Daily Collegian article on 30 Nov. so I opted for that source. (If you happen to read this comment right away, I've added it to my working copy, it will appear on sandbox later today). Thanks again.--SPhilbrickT 18:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

The ownership thing

Well that's the trouble. The article should not depend on any single person. Some of the best and most experienced editors on Misplaced Pages are hanging out on that article, so I don't think it'll make any difference. It's nice that you seem to appreciate that I was trying to keep things focussed though. --TS 00:52, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Revert strikeout

Looks like you're right - I'd misremembered the policy. Thanks for the notification. -- ChrisO (talk) 09:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Climategate protection

Just saw your request for page protection at the administrators' noticeboard. If that does not get a timtely response, you might wish to try WP:RFPP. Cheers, - Wikidemon (talk) 11:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

FYI

I implemented your 3RR report regarding Scjessey (talk · contribs) by listing all reverts done by him within 24 hours. According to WP:3RR, the reverts are not necessarily identical; A revert is any action, including administrative actions, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. --Caspian blue 15:25, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Terminology/Confusion

Hi Jheiv! You claimed to have removed the CV from Mann's article, but, in fact, you did not. Rather, you removed a partial bibliography. I have no strong opinion on the act (but note e.g. Albert_Einstein#Publications for a non-climate example), but your terminology is off. A CV is a Curriculum Vitae, or "course of life" - basically what we want to build for each person covered in Misplaced Pages, although the term now is usually used in the more restricted sense of a professional CV nowadays. A bibliography is an important part of an academic CV, but neither is it all of it nor is it used only in CVs. Your comment caused me some confusion, you might want to adapt it. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 09:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Adding archive templates to recent discussions

I would like to suggest waiting longer before adding archive templates to discussions like you did here. That discussion section wasn't even 5 hours old. Also, no one had responded to or acted on my suggestion of adding the archive parameters. I've undone your edit.--Rockfang (talk) 17:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Meh, that page gets cluttered so quickly that anything I can archive as "closed", I try to do. To be honest, I missed your comment. IMHO, however, your suggestion really should have been in another section since the editprotected action had already been completed and it is likely to be missed hidden under the green check as a result. I'll leave it as is, but consider moving your suggestion to a new section and re-archiving that one, as it has already been completed. Regardless of all of that, I apologize if you thought the edit was a slight. jhe_iv (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Climategate DrV

Hi, I've proposed on the DrV page to close the procedure and personally withdraw the new Climategate article, so I can work on it in my userspace. Rd232 (the admin who deleted it) and I are in agreement, per my talk page. It would be very helpful if you could sign on too, and we can move on from here. As I commented on the DrV page, I think rd232 got the message that his/her? deletion was hasty (and the threats to block to boot). I don't know whether they agree with that or not, but they'll probably think twice before doing it so quickly next time, and there's nothing to be gained by hammering the point home any harder than it is already. I'll likely retool the article in a form that's much more defensible, if I can find adequate sourcing, and possibly re-introduce it later. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks, - Wikidemon (talk) 20:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good to me -- consider it done. jhe_iv (talk) 21:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Dijkstra's algorithm

Please note that there was no error in the previous version. The algorithm works with the same efficiency if we start adding intersections closest to the starting point (or the destination as you have suggested). Shuroo (talk) 11:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I responded on your talk, but I really don't think the prose was at all clear before my edit.

Michael E. Mann

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Michael E. Mann‎, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. --TS 00:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
