Hello. It's good to see you on Wikipedia.
I noticed your cleanup notice on Comparison of normal-order evaluation and applicative-order evaluation, which I had originally written. I understand that the material is somewhat informal in tone, and is more of a pedagogical derivation at times than an encyclopedia article, but I had it sitting around and there weren't any other articles yet. If you could describe a bit on the article's talk page about what features of the article could be improved, I'd appreciate it; you could also list the page on Wikipedia:Cleanup, to attract a bit of attention.
Have fun!

Thank you for your changes to computer science, you might have missed the discussion on the talk pagew, though. Your input would appreciated. Cheers, — Ruud 12:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I've nominated the page you created for speedy deletion, not because I don't think the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications should be moved there, but because all you need to do to move a page is click the "move" tab at the top of the page, and say where you'd like to send it. However, a page cannot be moved to replace an already-existing article, so the current page can't be moved to where you'd like it to go until the runway is clear, so to speak. Once it's been deleted, the move can take place. Cheers, JDoorj a m Talk 17:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem about renaming the page! You are right it is far too general.Zito ta xania
Hi! I just noticed that you've signed in to WikiProject Computer science, and wanted to welcome you to the project. I was wondering when you'd get around to joining, and was going to issue an explicit invitation if you didn't do it soon :-) I think you've been making some great contributions to CS articles so far, and I'm definitely looking forward to collaborating further with you in the future. -- Allan McInnes ( talk) 18:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
You make some good points regarding the appropriateness of lists. However, one type of list that I think is useful is that exemplified by the List of mathematical topics. This list is autogenerated by User:Mathbot, and is essentially a flattened version of the mathematics category tree/graph. I think there's some value in being able to see every article categorized as mathematics (or CS as the case may be) in one place. It also makes tracking "recent changes" to math articles very straightforward. I've been meaning to find out if the Mathbot can be set up to also generate a list of all CS articles, but haven't got around to it yet. -- Allan McInnes ( talk) 22:25, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Would you consider yourself, in general, 'antilistarian'? i.e. do you think there's ever a time when List of ''foo'' should exist? -- moof 18:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't block those IP addresses earlier because at the time it looked to me that all of those IPs had stopped hours before, the most recent edit that I noticed was about 10 hours previous to when I removed everything. Two of those IP addresses had not even recieved warnings for their actions. I made the call then, and if it was the wrong one, I apologize, but there was nothing that indicated to me that an immediate block was necessary. Mo0[ talk] 00:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Why were my links to Marc Rochkind's web log deleted from the SCCS article? The note says they are "vanity links", but the log entry discusses Marc's recollections of creating SCCS. I think they are relevant to this article and I would like to see them included. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seitz ( talk • contribs) .
Wikipedia is not a blog, and as such blogs shouldn't be included in the wikification of the main body of articles. If you feel that that particular blog will retain stable content that adds to understanding of the encyclopedic content of the article, feel free to add it to the External links section of the article. -- bmills 05:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't agree with your reason of deletion of computer architecture form computer science: "contested content should be removed until consensus can be reached (see talk page))" There are much more contest for things like International Tibet Independence Movement. But these pages are still there and I do not bother to delete them. There is only a few things people have 'consensus' in this world. -- Leo 01:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Lists are almost never encyclopedic, and categories are nice. -- bmills 02:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
What I'm assuming is that users are capable of using Wikipedia's search features and/or Google (which has spelling-correction built-in). You'll note that the Britannica index doesn't contain misspellings, though it does contain rough categories for each entry -- which Wikipedia already has, in the form of the category system. -- bmills 18:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
To avoid confusing people (in the long run), I've started signing my posts with my username rather than my (otherwise preferred) handle. Same me, different signature. — donhalcon talk 06:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm the creator of quicksort implementations and I somehow overlooked the deletion. I just wanted you to know it's cool with me. My original goal was just to get the content out of the quicksort article, and well, it's still out. I'll just make sure I update the HTML comments at quicksort to point to its new home for interested contributors so they don't go ballooning the main article again. Deco 19:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Could you please be a little more specific about the tone tag? Even specific sections would help- is it the lists of pros and cons, the final paragraph, the intro- what? -- maru (talk) contribs 17:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I think it would be better if you placed these articles on AfD. Prod is only for uncontroversial deletions, which these certainly aren't. You also may wish to write a one or two paragraph reason why these should be delted, as people are unlikely going to be convinced by a single sentence. Cheers, — Ruud 17:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I definitely don't agree with you on everything (though I have agreed on some things), but you and your contributions will be missed. Have a nice break, but come back soon. -- Karnesky 04:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
I'll second Karnesky's comments. Only just realized that you were gone (after wondering why I hadn't seen your name show up in the edits on my watchlist for a while). Come back soon! -- Allan McInnes ( talk) 04:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
The WikiProject C++ aims to increase the quality of C++-related articles on Wikipedia, and has discovered that you have participated in the editing of them! So don't hesitate, join us! -- De ryck C. 15:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is what it is because people are putting a lot of human knowledge on it, including specialist knowledge. While it's no doubt improved by the fact that people are going around doing nice tidying & indexing, I think anyone who would put a "how important is this?" tag on a page that *says* it's about a "holy war" needs to take a nice, long vacation & try to relax.
Fortunately, if you aren't sure how important holy wars are, you can click on the link that's on the page & it will explain it!
Holy wars (in computer science) reflect serious methodological questions and can divide faculties and researchers to the extent that their research is inaccessable to each other. However, it is the nature of computer science that we actually all take this and everything else in a fairly tongue-in-cheek manner..., thus the tone for the page. I think you will find a lot of computer science and AI researchers will find that page quite useful. And while I take your point that the general reader might not, if they take the time to look up the cross references a little, then maybe they will.-- Jaibe 16:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
wikipedia is a mutual effort and as such will always differ from a commercial encyclopedia, if you dislike that you don't have to use it. However constantly setting deletion into well writen articles, whose content can be inferred out of their headline, shows that you didn't understand a mutual free-spirited effort very well.
This regards for instance the DOM article, which i happened to came along. There are lots of other tags u can use if you want to want to let others know that they should revamp their articles.
regards

Because you are a member of WikiProject Categories, your input is invited on some proposed changes to the design of the {{ Category redirect}} template. Please feel free to view the proposals and comment on the template talk page. -- Russ (talk) 21:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I have made a proposal for a integrated banner for the project here . I invite you for your valuable comments in the discussion. You are receiving this note as you are a member of the project. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 09:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Since you have a connection to Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!-- ragesoss ( talk) 15:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 17:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Carnegie Mellon University, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course ( WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
