Hi Barbera,

I saw your name on a view history listing of edits and thought I'd call by. I was hoping to see that you were still involved but didn't expect to be put to shame :)

I'm really pleased to see how things are apparently going and hope that, with many things hopefully being chalked productively to experience, things are going smoothly.

I have not seen any similar case get raised as the one that we were involved in but I haven't been looking too hard. It remains a concern to me that little emphasis is given to resolution of differences but it didn't seem that other editors shared this view but no worries.

The edit count facility wasn't working when I tried but I would be interested to know where your interests have taken you and what are you doing?

regards GregKaye 10:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for checking up on me. I really need to put your talk page on my watchlist so we can stay in touch. I am still very interested in working on the process that I was involved in. If it weren't for you, I probably would have stopped editing altogether. I believe that, in the meantime, I would like to eventually become an administrator and focus on working on the whole process from that angle. It will take me a year to 'prove' myself and prepare answers to the more typical questions that will be raised in the process. So I won't apply for admin status until then. So put me on your 'to-do' list and send me helpful suggestions.

Things are going smoothly, I believe. Ironically, very recently I was being 'followed' around and having a large number of edits reverted by an editor-so I stopped putting myself in this editor's 'sphere of influence' and editing articles that I knew would be critically examined and reverted. So I am walking away from this situation at this time. If you would like to see what I am talking about, see the talk page of the article ketogenic diet and the talk page history of project medicine. Look for my name. Any advice from you would be greatly appreciated. I feel that I am being treated inappropriately and that my editing is being hampered due to these situations. I am not asking or canvassing you to make any responses at all to these already outdated discussions.

I have found it difficult to find other editors who will collaborate in editing articles with me. I was working on bringing the article Pelvic inflammatory disease up to GA status, asked for assistance on the proj med talk page and received no response from the other 350 proj med editors. Stay in touch and let me know of any situations that appear to be similar to what I experienced/am experiencing. I seriously wonder how many editors have been lost due to the process that is not encouraging and does not adhere to WP:HERE. Best Regards,

Hi there,

Just a heads up that you have new email concerning Visiting Scholars at the University of Pittsburgh. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assume you mean, articles should not be deleted because their *sources* do not meet MEDRS. Agree with this, as long as reliable sources can be found to replace them (i.e the subject is notable for an article). This particular article did contain a few more reliable sources, but as I explained in the rationale, no reliable sources can be found which use the term. Therefore the topic is not notable for an article, and is a neologism which does not belong here. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 19:16, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that we are in agreement. I can't argue that the term was/is not a neologism, though I don't remember that being brought up. That would have been a reason for not including the article in the encyclopedia-but there was much discussion about not meeting MEDRS as a reason for its exclusion. I find this troubling. Feel free to continue this discussion on my talk page. I believe it is worth exploring. Best Regards,

Hi Bfpage, I am writing a new article in my sandbox. It has over 100 references. I see from example how to insert the reference and the wiki automatic numbering system. Question 1: How do I reference the same publication in several places in my article? Question 2: When I enter multiple references at the same point it reads [34][35][36]? Can I make it read [34-36]? EE483597 (talk) 22:25, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:GJ 1214 b. Legobot (talk) 00:02, 26 August 2015 (UTC) Hi Bfpage, That would be very helpful. If you just change enough to show me the pattern I can probably go from there. The article I am writing is an update and reformat of a 2000 U.S. Gov. publication in "Review of Scientific Instruments" of which I am the only author. I understand that as a Gov. publication there is no copyright problem. The unformatted text at the end is the original text pasted from the RSI article - waiting for my attention. The duplicated figures are just space holders until I can get the correct ones uploaded. Another question: Are all the keyword links to other Wikipedia articles added automatically at some point? I have found working for Wikipedia educational and enjoyable. I have made some significant edits to "Inverted Pendulum" and "Capstan Equation" Thank your for your help with this. All comments are welcome.2601:281:8100:B0B6:345F:6591:C22D:11C9 (talk) 16:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bfpage, OK, I responded on my user talk page. I am still a little confused about user talk works. EE483597 (talk) 00:44, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are getting better all the time. If you look at the coding here, you will see that I created a new heading with the name or title of the message with '== ==' on each side. Also when you left your previous message here you weren't signed in with your user name so all I could see was your IP address. I didn't really know that it was you leaving the message but I guessed it was you. New editors are given a lot of 'grace' and time to learn all the things they need to know. I only suggest that you read other pages that explain the referencing process and other editing tutorials that will help you learn even faster. Best Regards,

Respected sir ,

       ty for replying earlier regarding following topic  .  

Ref :"Recent edits to Guru Granth Sahib[edit source] Information.svg Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edits because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Bfpage |leave a message 09:43, 28 August 2015 (UTC)"

1. 1 Could you please give more information on what you meant , for future reference . Was it edited as it was not brief or something else ?

1. 2 Also why did you remove the topics/headlines/pointers i added (i understand the explanations were a bit long) , eg the point about "There is one god who is found by grace of god "

This is actually an important text and the granth/book starts with this (in Gurmukhi dialect of course) , and it has so much significance that the original author The 5th Guru had added that to the beginning of all the prayers .

you can verify also it at website www.srigranth.org which is a digital version .

p.s. sorry to read about your health . Hope you get well soon .

Thanks n Regards Bikramjit Singh . Bikram88 (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This edit and this message were serious newbie bashing. Did you not see what Havilahwiki (talk · contribs) was doing? You should be ashamed of yourself. I expect to see an apology on Havilahwiki's talk page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just got this message regarding my sandbox: Not suitable for Wikipedia. This appears to be taken from a collection of essays, which may or may not be copyrighted (I've been unable to verify this).

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Just sending a reminder to complete the survey linked above. (This is the only reminder I'll send, I promise.) Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Thank you!!! Harej (talk) 22:33, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad you made it through 'your trial by fire'. I found that responses by others can be more discouraging than encouraging. What you've done is very important and has much significance.
