Nominations open for the Military history WikiProject coordinator election
The Military history WikiProject coordinator selection process has started; to elect the coordinators to serve for the next six months. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 (UTC) on 12 September! Many thanks,  Roger Davies  talk 04:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

"big steve" lawing
Just a quick note about your speedy tagging of "big steve" lawing... Your tag of A7 (no indication of notability) was correct, however for pages like these it is best to use G10 (attack page) so that they are deleted as fast as possible. Attack pages (or negative unsourced pages in general) have the greatest potential to do a real person (or other entity) some harm and thus need to go as fast as possible.

Most admins review G10 pages first and most others get processed at random. Thus, an A7 can easily stick around for 12-24 hours sometimes while a G10 will rarely last more than 15 minutes.

Thank you for your consideration, ThaddeusB (talk) 02:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Opinion on Outline
Hi Transhumanist, I think the Outline of Christianity article I've been working on (with help) has become a well developed outline indeed. This could serve as a guideline for other religion outlines.  Burningview   ✉  16:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Whoa. I feel like we're characters in a fairy tale, with you asking...


 * "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"


 * I'm sorry Snow White, but you've got comptetion. :)


 * Outline of Buddhism is currently the most well developed religion-related outline, and it is also one of the best developed of all the outlines on Wikipedia! Eu.stefan has gone all out, and has dedicated an incredible level of effort to improve it.  The outline covers just about every aspect of Buddhism (as far as I can tell), including its teachings, definitions of terms, etc.  And it is still growing...


 * So far, it's about 4 times as extensive as the Outline of Christianity.


 * I couldn't believe Buddhism is more extensive than Christianity (I still don't know), so I went poking around on Google, using Google to search Wikipedia only, and noticed a huge number of articles on a great many aspects of Christianity.


 * Outline of Christianity barely scratches the surface of Wikipedia's coverage of the subject.


 * For an example, here's a search of "Jesus" in article titles: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=Jesus&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=100&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=title&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images


 * The first article in that search that caught my eye is Historical Jesus. This appears to be a major article on Jesus, and it isn't in the outline!  And there may be many other articles about Jesus worth including, such as Nativity of Jesus, Baptism of Jesus, Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus, etc.


 * Out of curiosity, have you ever used Google to do site-specific searches of Wikipedia? (It's powerful, and fun).


 * Also, I'm very interested in your comments about the Outline of Buddhism and how the Outline of Christianity (and other religion outlines) compare to it.


 * I look forward to your replies.

Ramsgate tugboats
I've made a start on improving this article, and would like to develop it further, but would rather not invest the time to do so while there's still the possibility that it might get deleted. Could you please take another look the article and consider whether you can withdraw the AfD nomination? As there have been no delete !votes that would mean that the AfD can be closed and I can work on the article without worrying that my efforts will come to nothing.

Thank you
I'm sorry I've been so inattentive - I've been on a wikibreak of sorts, and I've had my hands full "in real life" for the past couple of months. Hopefully, that will never happen again. :)

Thank you for the barnstar. It means a lot to me to be appreciated. It makes me feel like I've done something worthwhile. I'm very happy that you've found the OOK useful.

The barnstar you awarded to me is now on my userpage, where I display it with honor and pride for all to see.

Outline Update - expanding the Outline of Knowledge - 2009-10-05
Time for some catching up...


 * Special award and thanks to Buaidh

Congratulations and kudos to Buaidh, the first recipient of the Wikipedia World Developer Award, and the first inductee into the Outline of Knowledge WikiProject's Hall of Fame.

The award was announced about 2 months agos on the WikiProject's talk page, and on Wikipedia's Community Bulletin Board.

Buaidh created the historical outlines for all of the U.S. States, the U.S. capital, and most of the U.S. insular areas. He has also worked indefatigably day after day, improving all of the outlines of the U.S. States, and the outlines of all of the countries of the world!


 * Who's been up to what?


 * Buaidh, working hard on the country outlines.
 * Highfields, MacMed, and I worked on the see also sections of the subject articles corresponding to the outlines (adding or updating the links to the relevant outlines and indexes).


 * Wiki-Zombies

Discussions can sure be frustrating - try getting a proposal through on a guideline's talk page sometime. Most of the time, it seems like the opposition is mindlessly following each other, like...

Zombies. (You've got to see this).


 * Outline of Knowledge

Yes, it's a proper noun. It's only proper, since we also have an article called Outline of knowledge which is about knowledge generically.


 * OOK expansion!

After a couple month vacation, I'm ready to slam the gas pedal to the floor. Are you?

Things are speeding up!

Take a look...


 * New to the OOK

The following outlines have been added to the OOK within the past couple of months or so. Some of them were renames, some of them brand new, and some of them recently discovered after sitting in article space for awhile as orphans.


 * Outline of knowledge - yes, your eyes do not deceive you!
 * Outline of birds
 * Outline of regression analysis
 * Outline of water - Highfields
 * '''Outline of string theory
 * '''Outline of quantum theory
 * '''Outline of evidence law in the United States
 * Outline of libertarianism
 * Outline of radio
 * Outline of painting history
 * Outline of hydrology
 * Outline of rights
 * Outline of tort law
 * Outline of parapsychology

Here's some more pages that have been renamed to outlines even more recently, but that need to be converted to OOK format:
 * Outline of project management
 * Outline of production
 * Outline of counseling
 * Outline of sustainable agriculture
 * Outline of pseudoscience
 * Outline of human-computer interaction
 * Outline of video gaming
 * Outline of neuroscience
 * Outline of Boolean algebra
 * Outline of Green politics
 * Outline of vaccines
 * Outline of noise
 * Outline of mathematical logic
 * Outline of circles
 * Outline of linear algebra
 * Outline of number theory
 * Outline of organic gardening and farming
 * Outline of futurology
 * Outline of group theory
 * Outline of clinical research
 * Outline of electrical engineering
 * Outline of rail transport
 * Outline of curves
 * Outline of genetic genealogy
 * Outline of environmental studies
 * Outline of geometric topology
 * Outline of U.S. chemical weapons
 * Outline of puzzles
 * Outline of industrial archaeology
 * Outline of graph theory
 * Outline of numeral systems
 * Outline of set theory
 * Outline of partitions
 * Outline of U.S. biological weapons
 * Outline of real analysis
 * Outline of fishing
 * Outline of abstract algebra
 * Outline of eggs
 * Outline of dynamical systems and differential equations
 * Outline of ancient Egypt
 * Outline of computer vision
 * Outline of network theory
 * Outline of differential geometry
 * Outline of obstetrics
 * Outline of complex analysis
 * Outline of triangles
 * Outline of Lie groups
 * Outline of numerical computational geometry

 * Outline of computability and complexity
 * Outline of order theory
 * Outline of commutative algebra
 * Outline of algebraic topology
 * Outline of topology
 * Outline of polynomials
 * Outline of combinatorial computational geometry
 * Outline of recreational number theory

The following pairs of pages are content forks and need to be merged:
 * Lists to merge into outlines:


 * List of probability topics --> Outline of probability
 * List of software engineering topics --> Outline of software engineering
 * List of nanotechnology topics --> Outline of nanotechnology
 * List of calculus topics --> Outline of calculus
 * List of geometry topics --> Outline of geometry
 * List of community topics --> Outline of community
 * List of futurology topics --> Outline of futurology
 * List of American Civil War topics --> Outline of the American Civil War
 * List of computer programming topics --> Outline of computer programming
 * List of entertainment industry topics --> Outline of entertainment
 * List of health sciences topics --> Outline of health science


 * Not sure what to rename these to:
 * List of noncommutative topics in mathematics
 * List of MCAT topics (another ook!)


 * Rough outlines, renamed/moved to draft space:
 * List of information technology management topics --> WikiProject Outline of Knowledge/Drafts/Outline of information technology management
 * List of human resource management topics --> WikiProject Outline of Knowledge/Drafts/Outline of human resource management
 * List of suggested topics for computer networking research --> WikiProject Outline of Knowledge/Drafts/Outline of computer networking


 * Lists that can be structured into decent outlines:
 * List of exponential topics
 * List of computer graphics and descriptive geometry topics
 * List of multivariable calculus topics
 * List of factorial and binomial topics
 * List of permutation topics
 * List of algorithm general topics
 * List of stochastic processes topics

Only a few hundred more to go. :)

Moment of Surrender
Hey there, I apologize for reverting "Moment of Surrender" to a redirect so quickly. Truth is that I have a version of the article I'm working on which should be out very shortly. As it stands, just having an infobox and the position in the album tracklist means the article will fail WP:NSONGS and be deleted. By providing lots of development information, that can be avoided. It's nothing personal, I'd just rather wait until the article is ready than create it prematurely. MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 20:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No I don't take it personally; I just noticed that the song was missing an article so I decided to go ahead and give the basic info on it, but you seem to have sources and knowledge on U2 topics so I have no beef.  Burningview   ✉  20:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good luck with the FAC nom by the way.  Burningview   ✉  20:36, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

People bios
Hi Burningview, thank you for leaving [these comments] on my website. I apologize for not responding sooner. I collapsed my own content, and was unaware that somebody had left me a message until now (I am still trying to figure out the nitty gritty details of Wikipedia). Also, the conflicting information that you found is not actually Kenneth Kim. The name "Kenneth Kim" is very common (generally, there is very little variety in Korean last names, so there is a higher probability that you will run across people of the same name in the Korean ethnicity group than you would in many other ethnic groups.) There is one Kenneth Kim who went to Stanford, one that is associated with KAMA, one that is in Pediatrics, one that is in dentistry, one that is an orthopedic surgeon, and there even seems to be another one in La Crescenta who is also a plastic surgeon. There's also one that is a New Star Media reporter, one that is a a realtor, and one that is a lawyer. The Kenneth Kim in my article is the one that went to Yale, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, and is in plastic surgery. He is often associated with ptosis surgery, but his research work seems to be all over the place (i.e., breast, nose, eyes, etc.) Thank you for the warm welcome and the very helpful advice. I will definitely look into WP:PR.Ƥ Ɓ ❤ <font color="F660AB"> ʗ Һ ɑ ﾋ   20:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Milhist A-class and Peer Reviews Jul-Dec 2009
II intend to apologize for this in the upcoming milhist newsletter, but as a means of encouraging people to contribute to the reviews the coordinators hand out reviewing awards once every three months. Its been over a year since they were last handed out, but now I am cracking down on this to get them out. Its been far too long since the reviewers heard this particular ode to joy, and we all enjoy a little recognition for our hard work, do we not ;) TomStar81 (Talk) 02:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

The Military history WikiProject coordinator election has started. You are cordially invited to help pick fourteen new coordinators from a pool of twenty candidates.
