I've taken a pass through Left-Right Politics and Political Spectrum. Figured I'd alert you, since the watchlist is down. I hope you are happy with the result. I think the two articles are now reasonably complementary, with about 4 paragraphs of overlap. -- Jmabel 20:11, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Radical middle
At Talk:Radical middle: why did you delete my exchange with another user? Normally one does not delete material from talk pages. (Pending your response, I'll leave it as you left it.) -- Jmabel | Talk 00:36, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note, I'll reply on your page.Drernie 17:10, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * No real problem. In the future, if the issue is that you deliberately want to break a link, you can do that by presenting it as (for example) Speakeasy-DOT-net. Still human readable, not linked. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:33, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Got it, thanks.Drernie 20:19, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Spelled "sideways"
Colloquial phrases that don't have an interesting story attached are not suitable for Wikipedia. The article Spelled "sideways" that you created should be probably be transwikied to the Wiktionary. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 21:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will try to fix.Drernie 21:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, one learns new things every day! The redirect you wrote was not right, but my correction wasn't either, since you can't redirect between different Wikimedia projects. I followed the instructions on Soft redirect. BTW, the original title has scare quotes, but the Wiktionary article didn't, so I moved the Wikipedia to simply spelled sideways. Spelled "sideways" is no more. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:19, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

In reply to your note I have tried to shorten and make clearer the argument of Somchai. Please feel free to edit/tidy/shorten further etc.LordHarris 18:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Peer review for the list of baryons
Hi,

I noticed that you had a Ph.D in particle physics, so I wondered you could head over the List of baryons and Talk:List of baryons pages a give some feedback. I'm currently trying to bring that article to Featured List status, but I'm not a particle physicist so I probably made half a dozen mistakes. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

AfD nomination of Transformationalism
I have nominated Transformationalism, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Transformationalism. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Guy (Help!) 22:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Agenda?
Hello. First of all, I'd like to thank you for contributing interesting articles that reflect your expertise. I especially liked the Radical Center article. I stumbled upon Enlibra and as you can tell I don't think it meets Wikipedia's standards - hopefully the community will agree with my assessments. Having gone through your other articles, I think I see a pattern in your editing. On this page you describe yourself as a leader of a think-tank looking to explore centrist policies - fine - but do your responsibilities include creating wikipedia articles for a commission? Some of your articles seem like advertisments. Because you've contributed several useful articles I don't want to be quick to judge- it's quite possible that you're simply a bit over-enthusiastic in finding non-notable ideas that promote your agenda. 206.252.74.48 (talk) 18:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm just over-eager. I don't get paid anything. I was really bored one year and got carried away; I'm much calmer now. :-)Drernie (talk) 06:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to Visit Wikipedianized RadicalCenter.Org to Contribute
Drernie, we've mailed on occasion before, in another venue.

I wanted to invite you and any other Radical Center types to pop in to RadicalCenter.Org which is now a Mediawiki, same software as Wikipedia itself. Just make an account there, confirm the mail, and you are an editor there in the same way that you are an editor here.

The old site remains, but it is static HTML; a wiki allows for much more user participation. I've done a pretty good job locking the new wiki against spam. I also don't want to just cut-and-paste the original text into the wiki, since it has been there for some time and in the interim an election was won by a very centrist/progressive candidate. So any contributions you may make would be most welcome.

Regards, Thardman22 (talk) 20:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rohit Khare


The article Rohit Khare has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability not established according to WP:PROF or WP:BIO.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robin (talk) 03:01, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
