CE
Hi,i am a CE student and i want to know if you like your job, and if CEs have to work under pressure, thanks.Daniel Leite 13:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. Computer Engineering is a challenging but intellectually rewarding discipline.  You will have a broad yet detailed knowledge of both computer hardware and software, from how boolean logic is built from silicon, to arithmetic units, to a pipelined processor, to machine code, to assembly code, to how higher-level languages compile into lower level code.  However, you may find it equally challenging to find a Computer Engineering job.  I was unable to find one in the midwest, and would have been forced to move to California or Texas to find better prospects.  Instead I got a job as a programmer.  So being a computer engineer has its benefits and downsides.  The negative is that you may not find a job in the specific field of computer engineering, but the positive is that employers will find you competent enough to get a job in the range from software to circuit design.  Personally, I'm liking programming as a job more than hardware, though I still put computers together as a hobby. I work a 40 hour job with good pay and benefits, in an air conditioned building in downtown Chicago, though your first technical job may not be nearly as nice. If want to talk more feel free to leave another message :) Cnadolski 14:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

fr:brunner
Hi. I was looking over Translation_into_English/French and saw the fr:brunner request which you had undertaken. The last comment says "Completed". If this means that you have completed the project, could you please delete it and close it (by putting a line at the bottom of the page as indicated)? If I misunderstand what you meant, please update the status tag with the current status of the project. I'd appreciate it, since I'm trying to help with the extreme backlog on FR->EN. Many thanks! --Storkk 23:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I meant to say "Completed Christiane Brunner". I've updated the translation page to reflect this. There are a few more articles by the name of "Brunner" to complete.--Cnadolski 14:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Chicago Meetup
I've updated the Chicago meetup page with a tentative date. Please join the discussion there toward setting a final date and place. Kelly Martin (talk) 16:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I hope the time and place for the Chicago Meetup are convenient. Your reply would be appreciated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You are welcome, but please thank Kelly. It was her hard work.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 04:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I forgot to remind you to take a look at WP:CHIASSESS and vote if you get a chance.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads-up to vote! I would have never found this on my own.—Cnadolski 17:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Cnadolski, I enjoyed the meetup with you as well. On the way back home to Wisconsin, I got to see a side of Chicago I had not seen before. It's an enjoyable place. Since the Blue line is down, the ride was free, and the bus was filled with nice people, too. I was amused to see that the bus driver stopped for a pretty girl in a summer dress, who had flagged down the bus, and then drove right by another woman (of my age), who tried to do the same thing a few stops later. I really enjoyed how we all shared, and how we all learned from each other. Best, Ancheta Wis 04:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk more at the meetup. I look forward to seeing more of your work on wiki. Hope to see you again, Tom Harrison Talk 20:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1
Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
 * In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
 * I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
 * I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
 * There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
 * What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, Chris DHDR (17:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

[[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°2
It's been one high aiming month! The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for Christmas - and have received an equal number of presents in return! Well, that's this issue. Au revoir et à bientôt till the next time,  Chris DHDR (19:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)).
 * The French Portal is now a Featured Portal!!! It passed its Candidacy with 100%. Special thanks go to NYArtsnWords and all those that have made this Portal work.
 * The Newsletter has made it to a second issue. You can find its page at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter and its archives at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter/Archives.
 * A new page has been setup (WikiProject France/Links) to provide an index of the Projects/Portals pages (as well as helping newbees). When creating any pages in the Project/Portal namespace, please add them to the index page. This page also give WP:FRANCE members a handy watchlist.
 * As like last time, members are asked to renew their memberships at WikiProject France/Members.
 * I will be on holiday when the next issue is meant to come out so could some generous person(s) please do the next issue at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter.

Category:Top-importance Chicago articles
We are going to go through another round of consideration for Category:Top-importance Chicago articles. Last August your votes helped us decide our last round of promotions. Please consider the articles at WT:CHIASSESS and voice your opinion on whether they should be on the ballot near the end of January when we are considering our next round of promotions.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Meetup
Cnadolski - you've previously expressed interest in a Chicago wiki-meet. If you're interested in coming to another one, take a look at Meetup/Chicago 3 and let us know your thoughts. best &mdash; Dan | talk 18:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Request for assistance
Hello, my name is Ian, and I would like to ask for your assistance in translating two wikipedia pages into French. I don't know if you are willing or able to take on requests such as this at this time, so please let me know. The two pages I would like your help in are Kemetic Orthodoxy and Tamara Siuda. I noticed from your user page that one of your interests is Ancient Egypt, so hopefully most of the words will be familiar to you.

I hope to hear back from you either way. - IanCheesman (talk) 05:52, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I posted a reply on your talk page.Cnadolski (talk) 02:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Category:Top-importance Chicago articles
For the rest of this month we are looking for more candidates to be promoted to Category:Top-importance Chicago articles. We are hoping to bring the list of category members to a total of 50. Either you have participated in past votes and discussions or you have recently signed up to be a part of WP:CHICAGO. In either case, please come visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chicago/Assessment where we are determining who to add to the September 1st ballot. Some candidate debates have lingered, but there are many new ones from the project's top 50 according to the Wikipedia:Release Version 0.7. Help us determine which pages to add to the ballot.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:CHICAGO voting for Top-importance Chicago articles
You voted in one of the two most recent ballots. Feel free to come vote at WikiProject_Chicago/Assessment for our next Category:Top-importance Chicago articles. Voting continues until September 10 and nominations/discussions are ongoing for future ballot candidates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chicago/Assessment.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Hockey sticks etc
Hi Cnadolski, in case you didn't know already one of the participants in the discussion about the hockey stick controversy is associated with the Real Climate blog and likely will not accept any of your arguments that are conflicting with the views promoted there. Regards.-192.94.73.10 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC).


 * Since Hockey stick controversy seems to be specifically about the Mann hockey stick, and not hockey stick climate graphs in general, it seems that other editors don't care about Briffa's hockey stick. Even though his chart is still used in many places. Rather than fight an uphill battle to include Briffa's hockey stick in the article, I have discovered more productive uses of my time--unless of course, others want to expand the article and I'll help contribute.Cnadolski (talk)

Orphaned non-free image File:DepecheModeBlackCelebrationOriginalCover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:DepecheModeBlackCelebrationOriginalCover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
