Welcome, David, to our great experiment...well, time will tell how great. --Larry Sanger 16:44, 29 October 2006 (CST)
Hi David, could I trouble you for a question?
David, I started in on the Biology article listed on the Main page. I did demolition because it was not workable and added a couple of lines and a good (I think) external link (AIBS Virtual Library). But I can't seem to make it CZ live even though I put "" on the bottom of the page. Can you help? Nancy
/comments
David, I'm going to have to ask you to remove the comments you've placed on a subpage. The reason for this is to keep the user page space fairly "neat" and presentable for readers. We will have a separate wiki--a successor of the Textop-hosted CZ "planning wiki"--where you can have such material. Thanks --Larry Sanger 02:29, 1 November 2006 (CST)
thanks for welcoming

Hello David
No problem at all. I check this sometimes. --Raphaël Walther 10:23, 9 November 2006 (CST)
Biology article
David, I see you are on-line too. Good morning. Could you assist me please? I've been trying to move that second image needed comment into a sppot on the page for a future jpeg, and I keep messing it up. I just made some kind of inadverdant text box. Can you help? thanks, nancy
Slow progress in biology, but progress. Could you kindly read biology talk page (discussion) and respond? Thanks, Nancy
Category:Biology Workgroup (Top)
David, in these articles of medicine should be included the "Category:Biology Workgroup (Top)"? --Versuri 15:32, 23 November 2006 (CST)

The long tail
Do not worry about people working on apparently obscure articles. There is a phrase in statistics and the The Long Tail. WP and CZ work by using the long tail. The Tail, (The obscure articles) are actually more important than the head. (Top articles) In addition, the top listed, head, articles are generally ok, not great, but ok; where as the tail is full of nonsense and rubbish that needs improved ASAP.
