[edit] Revert on Ostrich
Sorry, my bad, obvious good faith edit. I reverted because the agreed standard for Wikiproject:birds is that only the divisions as listed are used, no sub- or super- bits, otherwise the taxobox becomes bloated and messy. Jimfbleak (talk) 06:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Greetings from WikiProject Medicine!
Welcome to WikiProject Medicine!
I noticed you recently added yourself to our Participants' list, and I wanted to welcome you to our project. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration on medicine-related articles, and everyone is welcome to join (regardless of medical qualifications!). Here are some suggested activities:
- Read our Manual of Style for medical articles
- Join in editing our collaboration of the week (the current one is Ascending cholangitis)
- Discuss with other members in the doctor's mess
- Have a look at some related WikiProjects
- Have a look at the collaboration dashboard
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, or feel free to ask me on my talk page.
Again, welcome! --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mechanix
I'm apparently not qualified to source anything, nor, apparently, do I have a high enough status to warrant responses in a discussion or to be treated as an equal. Unless that response is to censor what I say. Anything I put up,apparently, will more than likely be in violation of one or more wiki-rules, and/or guidelines. My sincerest apologies, Noca2plus, but you will have to find someone who is a competent editor and who is currently not being threatened with blocksJackorKnave (talk) 22:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Don't be so hard on yourself, JackorKnave. People got pissed at what you did, and so they threw the book at you. So what? It happens. On Wikipedia it seems to happen a lot. And that's why we have the policy of Please do not bite the newcomers. I would say you got bitten, and for that I'm sorry.
- One of the very first content contributions I made was to the Occam's Razor (House) article -- diff, which I worked hard on, and carefully sourced with external links. I thought it was an important insight, and enhanced the educational value of the article. Saranghae honey (talk · contribs) reverted my edit within 6 minutes, and without comment -- diff. Thinking Saranghae honey had just overlooked the importance of my contribution, or objected to my presentation, I added my edits back in as a footnote -- diff. This time the edits seemed to stick, but a week later, Saranghae honey axed my text again --diff -- citing obscure rules such as WP:SYN and WP:OR. LOL! I know how you feel!
- What could I do? Well, like you, I considered leaving. If Wikipedia didn't want my keen insights, fuck 'em! Perhaps I'm more sensitive than you -- it didn't take block threats to get me to consider leaving! :) But ultimately, I decided to stay. Although I wouldn't characterize Saranghae honey's actions as "welcoming", I did knuckle down and try to understand what WP:SYN and WP:OR meant. And in the end, I understood Saranghae honey's point.
- I say two things to you at this point: 1) I hope you can get beyond your present conflict with Thrindel (talk · contribs), and continue to participate in Wikipedia. Because Thrindel's domain seems to be restricted to Ctrl+Alt+Del, it should be easy to avoid him. 2) I am more than happy to help you improve The Mechanix or any other article that strikes your fancy. Just ask.
[edit] Re: Robert Barr now redirect, not dab
I have removed the {{DisambigProject}} tag and re-assessed the Bio-project tag as redirect-class. {{DisambigProject}} instead goes on the talk page of the disambiguation page, along with a new Bio-project tag. Cheers. Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond 03:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the Bio-project banner tag probably (didn't look at the tempalte code yet) has a line similar to this example for the WikiProject Skyscrapers banner:
|redirect|Redirect=[[Category:Redirect-Class Skyscraper articles|{{PAGENAME}}]]
- This line enables you to assess pages as redirect class. As a side comment, Tiesto rocks! Cheers. Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond 01:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirecting "Barr" to "Bob Barr"
You made the page "Barr" a redirect to "Bob Barr" earlier today. Does Bob Barr really outweigh all other usages of "Barr" to that great an extent? I don't see it. I dare say that the average person, seeing just the word "Barr", might think of Roseanne Barr first, if anything. I think it makes more sense as a disambiguation page. Korny O'Near (talk) 02:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to contact me before taking action. Long term, I agree with you. In the short-term, however, I feel the attention Bob Barr is getting in the U.S. Presidential race warrants a default redirect from "barr". That is, during these six months, Bob Barr may be the primary usage of "barr" (see WP:PRIMARYUSAGE). My feeling was that this redirect would be reevaluated after the November 2008 election. Of course, that is just my opinion, and given my libertarian views, I may be quite biased. I would suggest we move this conversation to Talk:Barr or Talk:Barr (disambiguation), but because neither of those pages exist as of yet, it might be difficult to solicit additional opinions. Shall we submit to a 3rd-party resolution (WP:Third opinion)? -Noca2plus (talk) 03:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- As an aside, Rosanne Barr isn't even listed at Barr (disambiguation) (formerly located at 'Barr') but rather, she is located on the secondary diambiguation page Barr (surname). I find that, in itself, to be bothersome (i.e., that one has to tunnel down two levels to find her, when Brendan Fowler aka BARR is found at the top Barr (disambiguation)). However, I'm at a loss to suggest how Rosanne might be moved/copied to Barr (disambiguation) without cluttering Barr (disambiguation) with the 53 other notable Barr biographies (which is presumably why a secondary dab was created in the first place). -Noca2plus (talk) 03:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, good thinking. I added a section in Talk:Barr about it. Korny O'Near (talk) 03:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
