| Hi brownhairedgirl, | |||
| I'm working on a new web site called Lunch.com, and wanted to share a first look with you. Our team is searching for some really smart, articulate, and real people to become active contributors as we kick this off. We’ve seen your edits and contributions on Misplaced Pages, and are particularly drawn to your dedication to attention to detail. I’m amazed at your efforts to contribute what you know to help other people learn. You have all the makings of a potential Lunch.com power user, so it would be priceless for us to have your take on how it’s shaping up. | |||
| What’s in it for you? As an inaugural member of our community, you can build your personal online brand by capitalizing on the site as it grows to increase your visibility and online name recognition. You’ll also have the chance to maximize your direct impact on our growing community of readers by being one of the “first movers.” | |||
| We’ve set out to make Lunch.com a web site that brings together people’s favorite online activities – sharing useful information about the things we know + socializing with personal communities and networks of people who matter to us. We’re building the site as we speak, and would love to get your opinion on how things are turning out so far. Please come in and take a look around... and think of it sort of like checking out our new house that's still under construction. The walls aren't painted yet, and a lot of the furniture isn't place -- but you'll get the main idea. | |||
| After you see the site, if you'd like to be a part of our beta community, we'll have you participate in three ways: 1) browsing the site; 2) posting reviews about things you're interested in and would like to share information about; 3) telling us what you think about the whole experience. There's a feedback button on every page, so please bring it on! We can't get enough of it, and it'll really help us make this something truly unique and compelling. The site is being developed by the creators of VirtualTourist.com, and we used a similar process to launch that site back in 1999, which worked really well. | |||
| I think you would enjoy this opportunity to check out what we are working on, and to let us know what you think before it releases to the general online public. If you are interested in getting a beta user invite to enter the site, please email me at angelo@lunch.com | |||

 | BrownHairedGirl is taking a wikibreak which may last until September, and will certainly last until early July. It may be occasionally interrupted if the summer turns out to be as bad as last year's washout or if her travel permits are revoked. |

Misplaced Pages Admin
I have been an administrator since May 2006. Administrators have access to a few technical features which help with maintenance. I regard admin powers as a privilege to be used sparingly and judiciously, but if you require the assistance of an admin, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. If you want admin help, please do try to explain clearly what you want done, and why, and please do remember to include any relevant links or diffs. I'll try to either help you myself or direct you to a more experienced person if appropriate. | ||
Thanks
Thanks for assessing the Sermons page. I still need to add a few more resources. After that, I will try to put up some pages for Swift's "Irish tracts" and then one on the other Irish pamphlets. Also, work on Molyneux. That way, there will be a greater resource on early Irish constitutional independence movements for those interested in Irish history. By the way, The Drapier's Letters is up for FA review. There are some complaints by some grammarians to specific parts, but you might be interested in checking out the page and/or commenting on the Feature Article Review. Ottava Rima (talk)
Mediation
Dear BrownHairedGirl,
I've recently been involved in a prelude to an edit war *embarrassed cough* and was hoping you could help mediate between myself and User:Skoojal. The article in question is Conversion therapy and the difficulties we've been having are documented on Talk:Conversion therapy, User talk:Conmalone and User talk:Skoojal.
User:Joshuajohanson has also been involved peripherally (User talk:Joshuajohanson).
The main problems are: 1) An edit I made adding a pseudoscience tag to the article: I backed up my claims with definitions and 2 sources but was rapidly reverted... I still feel it's appropriate but backed off early to avoid 3RR/edit war. 2) Edits I made to the lede to make it clearer: I'm not sure the exact reason for the complete reversion of my edits - those listed included nonsense/ridiculous/too long, etc. Maybe I'm just a bit slow today. I was trying to improve the syntax and also to clarify a previous edit which at first seemed incorrect to me but later proved correct, per interpretation of ICD-10. Skoojal thinks I'm plain wrong. 3) Edits I made to Medical Consensus paragraph text. This, I feel, is the most serious problem. Other editors had edited out "biased" text and replaced it with text that was biased, POV, factually incorrect and misrepresentative of the sources it referenced. I re-edited it, in as neutral a style as I could come up with, but it was reverted over and over. I'm not sure what I did wrong or why I seem to have annoyed people - I did my best to compromise, compliment, etc. And I referenced and quoted as much as possible.
I'd also appreciate your input on Talk:Exodus International where Skoojal posted a reply to something I'd written. I'm assuming good faith but would hate for another edit war to sprout there too. I'm always open to advice, constructive criticism and help, particularly if I've gone against etiquette or policy.
Thanks in advance for helping heal the rift. Conor (talk) 05:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- As you're still on a wikibreak, we're going to ask User:Anthony.bradbury to help out. Please do check in with us when you're back though - I'd appreciate your input. Conor (talk) 08:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Edit summary tool
Hello! The "my edit summary usage" section on your user page links to a tool at http://www.math.ucla.edu/~aoleg/wp/rfa/edit_summary.cgi?user=BrownHairedGirl. However, unless it is a computer-specific error, that tool appears not to exist, and causes an "Object not found!" error. I just wanted to let you know so that you could keep your user page up to date.
