Names

Thanks to the fragmented discussion, it came up here once again: http://mail.citizendium.org/pipermail/cz-biology/2007-October/date.html Kim van der Linde 17:18, 25 October 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for the link. Aw, Kim, it's just too hard....Aleta Curry 19:47, 25 October 2007 (CDT)

Tallong

Are you from Tallong? The photos make me want to visit. --Joe Quick 22:42, 28 October 2007 (CDT)

I am! Come over any time! It ain't fancy, but we can make you welcome!Aleta Curry 22:52, 28 October 2007 (CDT)

Well, it's a bit of a walk from Chicago, but I have had a yearning to visit Australia for some years now. Let me think of a way to tie it into Latin American studies so I can get somebody else to cover my expenses. Maybe indigenous rights? Australia is really interesting from that perspective. --Joe Quick 23:03, 28 October 2007 (CDT)

Photos

If you compile a list of all photos you've uploaded to CZ I will fix them ;). --Robert W King 08:10, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

This should work. Chris Day (talk) 08:48, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

Robert, Bless you my son. Chris, you rock! How did you do that?! I've been wondering how to keep track of photos I've uploaded and was about to bug Stephen.

By the by, Robert, since Joe is going to make his way out here eventually, you could fly or swim over, too, and take lots of pictures of bugs and wildlife and things!

Aleta Curry 14:57, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

Buy me a ticket and I'm there. ;D --Robert W King 16:24, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

From my first bestseller or first million--it's a promise!  :) Aleta Curry 16:27, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

Ooh! We could all celebrate our Nth approved article in Tallong! --Joe Quick 00:53, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Fine by me. Other draws: my husband is really, really, nice and I'm a good cook. Just make sure you like dogs, cats, horses and wildlife! (And don't freak out with SNAKES and BUGS!) Aleta Curry

This is all set to go. Stephen Ewen 00:41, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Also, you need to get emails for Image:Judell_Lucky_-_tri-colour_Miniature_Fox_Terrier_Bitch.jpg and Image:Jackaroo_Mini_Foxie.jpg, please. Stephen Ewen 01:30, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Isn't Lucky's photo covered in that original permission e-mail? I would think so, since that was first photo I uploaded. But not to worry; I'll take care of all in any case. Aleta Curry 16:34, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

It's not covered. See the email. Stephen Ewen 21:24, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Move

Pedigree_papers drastically needed the adjective. Stephen Ewen 21:06, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

No problemo, except of course now the link I left Jeff doesn't work. Did you move the subpages, too, Speedy Gonzalez? Aleta Curry 21:10, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Oh my, what a mess :-) What were yooou thinking :D --Matt Innis (Talk) 21:15, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

What? Where? WhadidIdo now??? Aleta Curry 21:19, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

I moved the subpages. Just leave a message at Jeff's talk. Stephen Ewen 21:23, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Cool. Not that serious--I'm sure he's got it! Aleta Curry 21:26, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Now I'm totally mixed up. There is a papers(disambig) and a paper(disambig)?!Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 21:32, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Hehe, I liked the Guantanimo Bay part :D ... whatamess --Matt Innis (Talk) 21:45, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Yes, there should be two disambig pages for paper and papers. --Robert W King 21:46, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Okay, that's part's done--and it's not a mess, you meanie! P Aleta Curry 21:49, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Wait, I'm befuddled. Some of the "paper(disambig)" info can also fit on the "papers (disambig)". Should I move it all so the information is available on both disambig. pages?Maybe someone else should evaluate it all; I'm dizzy.Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 21:52, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

LOL at Jeff. Yes, I think both disambigs should be combined. Stephen Ewen 21:59, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Okay, one at a time:

We have

paper, paper (disambiguation) (for singular), papers (disambig for the plural), and pedigree papers. That should do it. Aleta Curry 21:55, 1 November 2007 (CDT)

Frustration

Alack and alas -- my work has consumed me today as I have a conference presentation next week. I may did start an article called Frustration. Grrrrr!! Thanks much for looking for me though Aleta - I really missed the party. The Odd Couple indeed!-- who said an encyclopedia couldn't be camp!?!! I will be back... --Ian Johnson 18:07, 7 November 2007 (CST)

Well, we certainly missed you, but all the vodka, not to mention Hayford's cocktails, took the edge off! See ya next month! Aleta Curry 21:07, 7 November 2007 (CST)

new friend

I found you a friend! User:David_Joseph_Butler See where he's from? Sheesh, I think I'm channeling my mother... --Joe Quick 16:50, 9 November 2007 (CST)

Hey, cool! I'll drop him a note. 'Course, NSW is pretty large! But who knows--we might be neighbours! Aleta Curry 20:08, 11 November 2007 (CST)

Dull thorns.

--Robert W King 21:45, 12 November 2007 (CST)

That took me a minute--LOL. What soured you on them?

Listen, when you come out here, come in Spring (this time of year) and you can see a wild rose in bloom. Very pretty. Not nearly as showy as the others, but with a sweet, understated beauty. But what do I know? I was one of those odd little girls who pulled up the flowers of weeds and proudly presented them to my mother....Aleta Curry 21:51, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Plantstinctionist!!!!!! --Robert W King 21:53, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Stop! I just made one of those loud, snorty laughs and dribbled coffee onto my keyboard! Aleta Curry 21:57, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Approvals

I will email the Biology editors to ask for some action from them. Approvals should be a priority, --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 06:25, 13 November 2007 (CST)

Allrighty, then. Aleta Curry 13:40, 13 November 2007 (CST)

Film, TV, etc.

So, Aleta, we've been agreeing with each other for several months now about the need for a film workgroup. What can we do about it? Is there any evidence that the new workgroup requests page is leading to action? (Oh, and regarding dancers and opera singers in film: touché!) --Eric Winesett 22:07, 14 November 2007 (CST)

Yes, true--it *is* getting to be a bit like "You're right, Eric". "Thank you, you're right, too, Aleta." "Thank you, and you're right as well"....

What can we do about it? Well, we can do what Kim Van der Linde did with the Tree of Life thing, which is to simply start adding the category as if there is one already. I think we might put it to Larry for at least tacit permission, first, though.

Is the new requests page leading to action? I think it *will*, eventually, but is being deferred because of--for lack of a better term--more pressing matters. I know one could easily argue that there is little more pressing than the organisation of articles, and I mentioned this when the Core Articles initiative was started, and Larry's response was that many things might change anyway once the workgroups were sorted out. I and others have also raised the matter of workgroups at other times, and it is my feeling that everyone, including Larry, thinks this is important, but there are only so many hours and all that.

Dancers and opera singers in film-- :) Well, it's not something that would be the first thing which came to mind, is it?

Aleta Curry 14:04, 15 November 2007 (CST)

p.s. - do you *really* sign on, check your watchlist, make your edits, pick a subject and write an intelligent stub in less than 10 minutes??? It's a bird...it's a plane...it's SuperEric!! Aleta Curry 14:12, 15 November 2007 (CST)
