| Thank you for the very kind message you left for me. It came as a very pleasant and welcome surprise. I think Misplaced Pages has a lot of potential, although it has its detractors, but I'm glad you've decided to make up your own mind about it and the best way to do that is to get involved. In the long run things usually work out well, and there are lot of very capable and dedicated editors here that ensure the integrity of the project is protected as much as possible. (The abilities of the various monkeys here are diverse but the mix seems to work.) Please let me know if there's anything you ever need help with and I look forward to hearing from you. Once again, welcome! ] 00:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC) | Thank you for the very kind message you left for me. It came as a very pleasant and welcome surprise.

| ==] activity== | |||
| Well, in hopes of ending a revert/move war, I listed the poll ] as an official ] poll. This stopped the revert | |||
| war, but attracted many other editors to the article. Now the article is getting over | |||
| 100 edits per day, and its talk page even more. There's not much progress; it's mostly churn. The level of acrimony seems to be below the level that requires administrator attention, but getting anything like convergence looks difficult. One of the interesting phenomena with this article is that it has timezone issues; it's being edited around the clock, and there's almost a daily cycle of point of view adjustments.

| ==Conflict== | |||
| Hi Ideogram, I've been away for a couple of days, but looking at the talk page it looks like things have calmed down a bit. To be honest, I would not feel comfortable entering a conflict that I've had no previous part in and taking a stance against another user. I appreciate that you have felt overwhelmed but I don't think my joining in would be particularly helpful. It looks like there's been a shift towards agreement anyway, and that's a very positive thing. ] 12:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Good article graphs == | |||
| Cheers man. I think the graph is pretty neat myself - it's nice to see something visually rather than wade through a table of data! And it will be easy to update too - the "Easy Timeline" tool is a bit of a misnomer, but once you look at the source for the page I think anybody could update it. I just added another one in to show the "per million" statistics, which showed up something very interesting: while the proportion of Misplaced Pages articles that are featured is in long term decline (and not even slowing down), the proportion of "good" articles continues to climb quite rapidly. The long term decline of the featured article proportion has been commented on before, but hopefully it's just a sign that the golden standard is being continually raised higher. It's reassuring that the good article proportion (and the good article criteria are about as tough as the featured article ones were until relatively recently) is on the up. ] 23:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Oh, and thanks... good spot! :-) Nice to see somebody else edit that page, and that it's in an easily editable form! ] 00:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Yes, the timeline tool is very cool. I'm going to play with it in some other articles too. ] 00:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::It could do with better documentation perhaps; but cool nonetheless. I've been doing things like sticking timelines into biographies. ] 05:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| The recent POV pushing by several anon (and in some cases, registered users) on Taiwan/ROC related articles seem to be the work of at least one individual using multiple sockpupppets (all edits from the 167.7.39.* IP block). I am also beginning to suspect that {{user|24.88.124.252}} may also be a sock of {{user|Devout Christian}} based on some editing and edit summary similarities, though I am not sure if these are all the work of a single individual. Given the persistant reversions by anon IPs and their seeming disinterest in engaging in dialouge I am beginning to lean towards semiprotection of the affected articles.

Top-importance computer science articles
Hi Ideogram,
You classified a number of articles as "top-importance". A few months ago I went through Category:Top-importance Computer science articles and made sure all the articles in there where truly of top importance. Although there undoubtedly still a few articles missing, I don't think this category should exceed 100 articles. Could you double check to see if the articles you added (such as Compile time) are really as important as Alan Turing or the ubiquitous quicksort, as opposed to simply of high importance (which in turn probably shouldn't exceed a 1000 articles). Cheers, —Ruud 17:52, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
