==Changed Title==

I changed the title of "Culture defines politics" to ]. I think this is a winner of a title for the subject material. I hope you agree. Let me know what you think? Thanks for your consideration and time. ] 19:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I am thinking that to make it an even better title is to title it "Cultural imprinting on politics". Is that okay. "Cultural imprinting" is an adverb and not a straight verb. Is this okay for you? And does it sound better and match encyclopaedic concerns? let me know please.] 15:17, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Cleaning up... ==

I haven't been active here for a while, and don't foresee that changing any time forseeably... so I've been cleaning my user space, and was wondering if you would like ] to be moved to your space? It is still occasionally being attacked by Netoholic, though not for the past month. Best contact me at ]... - ] 05:40, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Archiving==
Maurreen, could I ask why you break up chronological archives? It makes things very hard to find. The Post-invasion Iraq archives were very mixed up and material seemed to be missing. Do you have a particular reason for doing things that way? ] 06:52, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
:There were 10,000 words missing. I don't know whether it was you or not, but it may be connected to the habit of moving sections of Talk pages around. Do you have a particular reason for archiving in a non-chronological order? It makes it very hard for editors coming after you to find anything. ] 07:04, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

== Adminship ==

Maurreen, you've done great work on Misplaced Pages. I was wondering if you'd be interesting in a ]. ]<sup>]</sup> 06:19, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
::Sure thing, then. Remember, much of the opposition was due to your inexperience at the time. Maybe in a few months. Regards --]<sup>]</sup> 07:14, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

==MoS==
Maurreen, do you happen to know whether the MoS is policy or a guideline, and where in Misplaced Pages it states which it is? Best, ] 11:54, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Maurreen, thanks, I found the policy page eventually. The MoS is a guideline. There's policy, semi-policy, and guidelines. I was asking because Jguk put the MoS into the policy category, but so far as I can tell without consensus. Do you happen to know where I'd find the Talk archives from around September-October 2004? That's when it was done, so I'd to see whether there was any discussion about it. Don't go to any trouble to look, though, but if you happen to know that would be helpful. Best, ] 23:57, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

Maurreen, thank you, that's very helpful. The person who added the text to the article saying it was policy was ]. I asked him how he knew it was policy, but it seems he added it only because he wanted passing editors not to make radical changes without discussion. Following that, Jguk simply added the policy category on his own initiative. Anyway, I think it's sorted out now. It's a guideline according to the policy page at ]. Best, ] 07:13, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

The issue I've been discussing is adding a rider to the usage and spelling section. It says: "Articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the spelling of that country." I would like to add that people are not regarded as being "specific" to a particular country, unless they hold office. So, for example, just because John Smith was born in Canada does not mean he has to be written about in Canadian-English, unless he becomes prime minister of Canada, in which case he does. But I'm being opposed. ] 07:23, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the EU issue; I'd like to think about it. It would be useful to know when it was added and what the consensus was, so if you know that, it would be helpful, but again don't go to any trouble. I don't agree with it, and I certainly wouldn't want to see it extended beyond treaties etc. It's true that EU documents use British English but that's only because they're written by British translators, and I'm not sure that ought to force all Misplaced Pages editors to use BE to write about any EU treaty or institution. ] 07:38, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, there were only the two, so s/he was clearly a sock. I don't really mind - I was just curious, and I did give in in the end, so dear old Bernard is now in British English. ] 08:33, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

==New wiki?==
Sounds interesting. What did you have in mind? ] 08:19, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Maurreen, I tried to leave this message for you twice yesterday, but after saving both times, checked and it wasn't there. So this is third time lucky. ;-) Just to say, I find your idea very interesting, and I think people would love it. But it would be a huge project. Do you have any thoughts as to how to start it? ] 19:15, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry not to get back to you sooner but I've spread myself a little too thin here recently, so I'm finding it hard to keep up with everything. I do love your idea, but can't quite see a way to get it started. There are a couple of editors who have edited some of the journalism pages, who may be in journalism themselves. Did you have any luck with anyone else? We could put up a note somewhere asking for anyone who's interested, but you may not want to announce it widely as it's a good idea. ] 08:31, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

== ] ==

I've taken the liberty of moving the discussion you pasted to ] to ], and of putting up a draft format at the project page itself. I'd appreciate it if you'll have a look and tell me if you like it. &mdash; ] (]) 21:07, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:I'm glad to see you like my formatting. (The thing that I'm most concerned about is whether the Reasoning paragraph cannot be simply integrated into the introduction.) Anyway, it might be wise to note that I'm going to be away for a week as of tomorrow, which means that - unless you're willing to implement this yourself - it will take some time until this is integrated into Misplaced Pages procedures. Which is good, as it means there's plenty of time for feedback to build up. &mdash; ] (]) 08:49, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Transport(ation)==

Maurreen,

I was trying to be helpful - '']'' is a disambiguation page - the main article you were referring to is at '']''. Also, and unconnected to the first point, you will note that there is no "first major contributor rule". ] refers to that as a "last resort" test, and, of course, you and SV have decided that ] isn't policy, but only a take-it-or-leave-it guideline anyway. Kind regards, ] 19:17, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== New Wiki Q ==

You mean a non-] wiki? ] 08:19, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

==You're missed already==
Please come back to the page, Maurreen. We'll either have an agreement soon, or we'll take a break as you suggested, so either way it will be over soon, and the changes, if any, will be minor. But they may loosen things up just a little, which I think you want too, so please stick with it just a tad longer. Best, ] 10:13, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

:Well, the latest news is that we appear to have reached an agreement. Jguk has agreed to allow a sentence to the effect that not all people are topics, because people might have lived in more than one country and so on, so it's now just a question of finding the right words, which I suspect will not take long. It's nowhere near as much as I wanted, but I'm prepared to take it. As for the EU thing, I am prepared to agree to that as an exchange, though you should have input too, and particularly about the OAS thing, as I'm not too bothered about that either way. But if you've really had enough, then don't feel you have to comment, because you'll drive yourself nuts otherwise. The OAS can always be added later, and the EU thing removed if you don't want it, so don't fret. It's only an encyclopedia after all! (Something I should tell myself too.) ;-) ] 10:45, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

==Wiki==
Oh, I meant not to announce it publicly before it's ready to start, in case the idea gets stolen. I didn't mean never to tell anyone, LOL. Otherwise it would be just you, me, and maybe my dog. We'd have fewer problems with styles of English, mind you. ] 08:33, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

== Journo wiki ==
Thanks for the note, I think it's a good idea. Some possible content:
* AP Stylebook type stuff, but would be Creative Commons so could be printed and used all over
* Expanding on some existing content in Misplaced Pages, such as ]
* Expanding on Disinfopedia type content, such as a guide to newspapers and media groups, from Sulzburger to Scaife
* Case studies

This could be part of WikiCities, or could be a WikiBook, or another project altogether. Let me know what you think. ] | ] 17:21, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know if this matters to you (and I apologize if it doesn't), but Jguk has recently been adding speedy notices to that page. Regards, ] 01:34, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

:Maurreen. Vacuum is a troll, as evidenced by the complete lack of useful contributions Vacuum has made (see ). He appears to be here only to stir up trouble. Kind regards, ] 06:56, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Maurreen. I completely agree with you about your right to keep the page. However, in the interest of not escalating matters, perhaps you should just let Jguk keep his speedy notice there until you reach a resolution. It's highly unlikely it'll actually get deleted, with the controversy, and if it is, you can just undelete it with your sysop powers. Thanks, ] 16:30, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
==Category:Wikipedians:Military==
Can you edit the "Category" page and give standards or qualifications that one can label oneself a "Wikipedian" military. Is it one who was in the military? Or only edits military articles? Or just likes the military? Can you give parameters for inclusion on the category page. Thanks. and whether I qualify, I might join it.] 18:31, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Got another question. I tried to put my name first like and then I tried just so that my name would list aphabetically. Is there something in the code that prevents just the listing by names in the category. Please let me know. Thanks.] 16:18, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
::Figured it out. Have the members type something similar to this: <nowiki>]</nowiki> and it shows up aphabetically. I forgot to use the "|" in the command code. ] 18:25, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Journawiki==
This is looking really good, Maurreen. Congratulations on pulling it together so fast; I'm impressed. Perhaps you or someone could write about it for Wikinews, which might attract people outside Misplaced Pages, and you could also try putting details on journalists' mailing lists and websites. I have a query for you about this sentence (regarding the liberation of Buchenwald): "At six o'clock that evening, the first American tank arrived, and behind it the Sixth Armored Division of the U.S. Third Army." Is this the right way to put it: the U.S. Third Army? In the source I took it from, it said "Third U.S. Army," which didn't sound right, but I'm not sure. ] 00:56, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks, Maurreen, that's very helpful. I'm going to take another look through Journawiki as soon as I get the time, probably tomorrow, and will look to see whether there's anything I can usefully add to it. You've done a great job. ] 03:39, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)

I've just seen your March 5 note on ]... Took me some time, I know. Yes, this page is probably ready to be operational, although more feedback would have been nice. So... What do you say: should I (or we) take the plunge (remove the warning at the beginning of the page, add it to ], and place a notice on ]), or should I place another notice on ] and wait for more feedback? &mdash; ] (]) 15:44, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Accounting reform ==

You changed the categorization of accounting reform from economics to accounting. But the article deals primarily with reforming the national accounts (GDP, National Disposable Income, etc.) and very little, if anything, with accounting. I think that economics is the proper category, but don't want to move it back without talking to you first. Maybe you know something I don't know.--] 04:18, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

:I wish I could help you, but the little economics I know I learned 15 years ago as a freshman in college. Maybe macroeconomics, since it generally deals with nations using something other than GDP to show the world how wonderful they are. (As you can tell, I'm not a fan.) But I'm an accountant, not an economist, so I'd have no real idea. Sorry.--] 04:52, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

== Refactoring an old discussion ==

I've been so bold as to refactor the comments you made way back on ]. I'm thinking of reviving this proposal, in a new form, and I'd like the new talk page to be a ] zone. However, I'm aware this goes against ''de facto'' Wikiquette and I can't retroactively instate it, so if you find you don't agree with , please feel free to replace them with something better. ] 15:52, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

== Working together on Economics & Finance categories ==

We discussed this a few weeks ago... I'm making progress on cleaning the Finance category... moving articles from the main cat to appropriate sub cats. I'll occasionally dump articles into the main Economics category, since that seems to be where you're working lately. I know you're trying to clean up that main cat, so I try to limit my dumping. Feel free to do the reverse... I'll keep cleaning things out of the main Finance cat, so don't worry about detailed subcategorization unless you want to.

==Commas==
Hi, there. Sorry to hear (per your user page) that the wikistress is getting to you. I have a couple of questions:
#Your ] says that the CMS favors "year first." I'm assuming that's a typo for day first, which is what my 14th Ed. recommends (but I do remember hearing that they were planning to cave in and go with mmm dd, yyyy, in a later edition).
#Whenever I come across language like "] is the world ] capital," I have an uncontrollable urge to stick the misssing comma in. Am I being unnecessarily pedantic? Has usage overtaken me? (I sidestep the related question with "] declared itself the world ] capital on March 4, 2002 and has not looked back since" by using the dd mmm yyyy format, of course.)
If and when you have a moment. Thanks. ] 16:34, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks for your reply. It's good to know I'm not the only one putting in those missing commas (and it's also reassuring to know that the CMS still advocates dd mmm yyyy: I have a soft spot for underdogs and lost causes). I'd suggest a note be added on the point to the relevant articles -- MoS commas section, city naming conventions -- as long as it's not going to set off another holy war ("''no one'' does it like that nowadays..." etc.) I see the MoS crowd have just found a new bone of contention, in the form of the capitalization rules for headers; dunno, professional deformation and all that, but sometimes you've just got to kowtow to house style, even though you don't like it. That, plus the fact that your time would be better spent writing articles instead of whinging. Cheers, ] 04:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Aboslutely. As you'll have seen in my comments above, I thought it was a formal/traditional/strict vs. informal/modern/sloppy question. I wasn't expecting UK vs. US to raise its head again, because I honestly don't believe that ''is'' the issue. ] 18:12, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

About a month ago I was trying to find out why the incorrect capitalization rule that is in the Manual of Style is there. So far nobody has responded to my requests to posts a citation from a manual of style support the Misplaced Pages rule. Today I went over onto the offensive over that matter.


==] has been nominated for discussion==
I did an internet search and found a quote from the ''The United States Government Print Office Style Manual 2000'' and another quote in the ''Chicago Manual of Style'', 14th Ed. that support my position. I have therefore posted those quotes on the sub-page talk page and on the talk page of the main manual of style page. I have also found out which user put the 'rule' onto the site in the first place and challenged them to support what they wrote with a citation.

*Hi! I see from watchlist you changed 'category' on ], to physical geology so are you a guru on categories? The Bo Hai is not really a sea, nor a Bay, though the article equates the two, misplacing the real bay, which is indeed part of the Bo Hai... itself a Gulf technically, or so I understand. To make matters even more confusing, I gather 'Hai' is indeed Chinese for 'Sea', making all clear as 'Mud'. <G>
*So what's your actual expertise &mdash; fixing a red link, or a real life geographer? Other?
**If you are a category guru or geography specialist, that's not the only place that 'invented at need' copycat category was posted that evening, so things should be adjusted, one way or another.
*I wanted (meant) to get a hold of someone on that issue, and did post a talk page note, as I copied the 'category type', as it were, while trying to straighten (criss-cross) geo-political references, but got diverted in an expansion or three or four during the week.
**In any case, there needs to be some category consistancy geo-region to geo-region, or so I would argue. Please advise. Thanks!
::] || ] 3 July 2005 00:54 (UTC)
reply:
*The category you replaced: 'Bays of China', should, of course, be a sub-category of 'Geography of China'. I MODELED 'Bays of China' on another 'Bays of _______', category which I'd have to retrace to tell you what '________' was to be certain, but I think it was Australia. Perhaps the sub-category 'Bays of China' is one you should add under 'Geography of China', and revert your original change. Perhaps there is a 'Bays of the Pacific', or 'Bays of the World', but I don't know how to check. I am fairly new to Wiki. Hence, I was hoping you knew for sure which categories and subcategories were supposed to be under the project guidelines, and which were perhaps omitted or overlooked as categories by the people who were working China related things.
*What I do know for certain, is that there is a 'Bays of _________' category or subcategory, and I happened across it, so modeled 'Bays of China' on it, which gave a red link.
*To fix the redlink, one could fix the Bays of China by replacing it with 'Geography of China', but that might then be inconsistant with the other 'Bays of _________' I did see. So I was hoping you knew which way it was supposed to work, or at least '''who to ask'''. You would know that if someone had asked you to change my original, but not if you changed it when you saw it as a red link (on your own).
Thankyou for your time and answer. I hope that I made the small issue clear. My view is that 'Bays of China' is a proper sub-category of Geography of China, and should be added there; that of course means you should revert your change to the article as well. If not, the other two Bays on ] need changed as well. No matter what, at least two changes are needed.
*Please let me know what you decide and do. Thanks again.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Polk County Historical Markers

A tag has been placed on Category:Polk County Historical Markers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
