Welcome
Please use this space to leave me any messages, and I will respond as soon as possible. Generally, I will respond here, so it is advisable that if your comment requires a response, you should add this page to your watchlist, or check back regularly.

Any 'discussions' which I deem to be inactive will be put into the appropriate archive page.

Postgraduate education

 * 1) When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: [[Image:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]] The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.  When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
 * 2) Please provide a citation for your claims. I've never heard postgraduate education referred to as "quaternary education".  That's not to say that it mightn't be, but it needs a citation. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

(1) Sarcasm is not neccessary, thanks ;-) (2) Do a simple search on Google, and check out my comments on the talk page Thanks Helzagood 22:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Er, where was the sarcasm? More importantly, it's up to the person making a claim to provide citations for it, not those who dispute it.  I've responded to your other comments at Talk:Postgraduate education. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

(1) The sarcasm lies in you saying "there is a little field named...." if that is not sarcasm, I don't know what is. Everyone should know that there is such an entry field, if you had simply asked me to use it, it wouldn't been an issue, but to be so rude is not neccessary. (2) You quote your experience in higher education as evidence of your point, truth is, you have experience in only one institution as far as your user page suggests. I have worked in several HE colleges and universities accross the UK, for several decades and have come accross the term "quaternary education". I do not claim that the term is popular, as I even stated in my edit to the article, but it is used. Moreover, just because the term is not generally used by the public does not mean it is not encyclopaedic - the names of computer programming languages are not generally used or known to the public, but they feature quite heavily in wikipedia.

 * The wording is the standard Wikipedia template summary. I think that you're being rather over-sensitive.  If you still insist that it's sarcastic and rude, I suggest that you take this up at Template talk:Summary.
 * I have experience in seven universities, but that's not the point (unless you think that one's knowledge is limited to what is said in one's own place of work). The point is, as I keep stressing, Wikipedia policy about citation. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Kiwanja
A tag has been placed on Kiwanja, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:Kiwanja. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Seraphimblade 18:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Labour Party (UK) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Epbr123 (talk) 18:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Labour Party (UK) constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. J.delanoy gabs adds 18:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Gordon Brown. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. J.delanoy gabs adds 18:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Helzagood! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Research survey invitation
Greetings Helzagood-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSHzuwaQovaZ6ss

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Proposed deletion of Seedcorn


The article Seedcorn has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "DEFRA is notable. The Central Science Laboratory is notable. There is no indication from reliable sources that this funding mechanism offered by the former to the latter is notable in itself."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
