thanks

Thanks Joe, by the way, two more students have put up articles Leopards as taphonomic agents and Bone tools - I would be grateful if you would weigh in and give encouragment, critique etc.

Question

I'm just curious, is your last name derived from "rapido" or is it just Quick? Call it a long-standing curiousity... --Robert W King 21:57, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Kennewick

Hi Joe,

Just going through Kennewick - couple of things. I would personally not concentrate on the controversy, but on the anthropology. What I mean by this is that I would introduce the fossil (sub-fossil) first e.g. what it comprises, skeletal part representation, geological situation of the find, taphonomy etc. in a dispassionate voice. I would then go on to its significance and then its discovery. Only at that point would I delve into the debate around "is it or isn't it" and "what to do with it". Although I have a clear bias to one side, these debates are incidental to the fossils importance as one of, if not "the", oldest human remains from North America. At this stage, when I read this article, I get the feeling that the author has a non-reburial standpoint - not sure why but thats what I "sense" - and we do want to remove any aspect of non-nuetrality. I would add photos or even a scanned newspaper article to give the article some spice. If you have some of the data on the first bit and can add it, I'd be happy to weigh in.

workgroup assignment _ Yoga

Joe - Thanks for your input on this. My greater concern was actually changing the Category to which Yoga was assigned. Does changing the Template then change the category page, or is that a separate operation? I'm writing from my Blackberry, so I can't sign this properly. Michael J. Formica

And, now, thanks for the tech lesson. Truly appreciated. Ihave to say that I'm getting a bit frustrated with the lack of participation in the topics that I'm working on, but I shall sally forth. Psych, in particular, is a horror show! --Michael J. Formica 08:08, 11 November 2007 (CST)

Biography Workgroup

I was just going to suggest it, and see that you already had. How do we add a workgroup? It seems like the suggestions are there, but there's no follow through. Blessings... --Michael J. Formica 09:29, 11 November 2007 (CST)

checklist

You're like a dynamo. :) Chris Day (talk) 02:01, 21 November 2007 (CST)

It's really just a matter of working out a system and having watched enough articles develop to know when I need to take a look at the edit history or swing by the wikipedia article to make a quick comparison. I also have a couple of handy tricks I've worked out. :) Gotta be done for the night though - I have class in 7 hours. --Joe Quick 02:11, 21 November 2007 (CST)

Yeah, thanks for all the subpage work, Joe! But I notice you're into these articles titled "list of...". These should themselves live on subpages of other pages (i.e., in most cases they should be Catalogs but in some others they might be Related Articles pages). I wouldn't expect you to make all the decisions this would involve (unless you want to)...but basically, somebody is going to have to undo all this subpagifying work you've done on the "list of..." pages. Sorry! --Larry Sanger 21:19, 21 November 2007 (CST)

Yeah, I know. :) I've been skipping a lot of them and simply crossing them off the list so that somebody else can move them and have been moving other ones myself. The only time I'm placing subpages (unless I wasn't paying attention to one or two) is in cases like the lists of anthropologists that Lee Berger made a while back. He added subpages to the articles and created a metadata page but they show up on the list of unchecklisted articles because he didn't create the the talk pages. I'm making the talk pages just to get them off the list. I'll start moving lists and catalogs once I finish up this job, which is actually going way faster than I expected. --Joe Quick 21:27, 21 November 2007 (CST)

Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598)

Thanks for the notice to create the subpage. Did I just have to open that link & save the page? Or do I have to do more? (Chunbum Park 19:39, 20 December 2007 (CST))

Hmm. I think you must have seen an automated message that shows up when someone has placed the subpages template on the talk page but hasn't created the approval subpage yet. I created the approval page too, so you don't have to worry about it. But if you notice that message again, then yes, all you have to do is click on the link and then save the page. :) --Joe Quick 20:01, 20 December 2007 (CST)

Subpagination work

Thanks for all your subpagination work lately, Joe! --Larry Sanger 11:14, 23 December 2007 (CST)

Yes, you're a monster at getting through that list. I've done a bit and have no idea how you get through it so efficiently. Thanks a lot. Chris Day (talk) 23:39, 23 December 2007 (CST)

The goal is to maximize our internal articles by the new year. I figured the best way to do that would be to checklist the articles we already have. :^) --Joe Quick 23:45, 23 December 2007 (CST)

I added a few speedy delete tags as a result of working through CZ:Unchecklisted_Articles#Part_11. Software, Free thought and Jehovah's Witnesses just didn't seem to be up to scratch. What have you been doing with these types of microstubs? Chris Day (talk) 23:51, 23 December 2007 (CST)

Well, I've been speedydeleting a few, but a lot of them I leave alone. It's pretty subjective, but I look at who wrote them (to see if it's someone who is likely to keep working), whether they're from write-a-thon or geor-a-thon days (it seems rude to delete those), and I ask whether I learned something even though the article was a microstub. I also leave notes in the edit summary sometimes to see if I can trigger some attention out of someone who has the articel watchlisted. --Joe Quick 00:09, 24 December 2007 (CST)

En cuanto a esto, el correo es hjavier69@hotmail.com. Stephen Ewen 18:45, 27 December 2007 (CST)

You're right. That got in there because I chose "attribution" when I uploaded it. See the bottom of the source page.--Joe Quick 19:08, 27 December 2007 (CST)
