User talk:Information Habitat

Hi. It seems that you're adding a lot of content, most of it to your user pages. This is an encyclopedia project, not a webhost. We are not here to support "grass roots" initiatives of any sort, or allow people to advertise their ideas. Hence pages like Internet community congress are not appropriate, unless you want to write a neutral article that's about the congress.

You may want to reconsider whether this is the place for the projects you're undertaking. Isomorphic 19:05, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

You are also very welcome to stay! But I would also suggest that you try to follow established guidelines that you may find through the Community Portal --Dittaeva 17:57, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I suggest that you move any disputed User:Information Habitat pages from Wikipedia to either this Wikibooks project or to this meta-wiki location. I think your work is interesting and needs to be protected from reactionary Wikipedia zealots who can see no value in weeds. JWSchmidt 13:39, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Minor edits
I noticed your work on the Earth Summit page. Please do not mark as minor edits which are not minor, as defined under Minor edit and Wikipedia talk:Minor edit. --Lowellian 19:35, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)

G'day Robert

I'd prefer to talk on my normal talk page, that's what it's there for, please see my more detailed reply there. Andrewa 13:49, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

A few more comments:

Yes, your additions to Florence Nightingale are fascinating, I'd already looked at them.

When the article quietens down I might have a look at it myself, because while it's full of good stuff it's not IMO a good article. The first thing I'd do is remove the heading from the preamble. Make it a splash if you like, but not a heading. This will reposition the table of contents to below the introductory paragraph, which will make the whole article a lot more approachable to the reader.

But the whole article needs a refactor IMO. It just doesn't read well. I noted before many spelling and grammar mistakes... and now I can't find any of them!

So far as our talking towards a win/win on the matter of hosting for your Information Habitat project, I'm heavily in favour. Please, talk to me.

One thing you might also consider doing is to list all the user subpages that you no longer use for speedy delete. This is the normal way of removing your own unused pages. It would be best to log on under the owning user id to make this request.

I think all the subpages of user: Information-Habitat are in this category, and there may be others. If you think you may have forgotten any, ask for an SQL query to be run to find them all, but they are probably already listed on one of the many discussion pages. The user page itself should stay, perhaps as a redirect, so that anyone looking at edits you have made under this name can find your current user page. That would be a good start IMO.

Interesting link?
This may be old news to you, but I ran across this page at c2.com and it seemed to reflect a lot of your directions. Have a look and follow some of the links from the top section in particular, it might save you reinventing the wheel. Andrewa 17:27, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Are you active
I notive that you haven't edited since 2004 and that your user page refers to a Wikibook Information Ecology   which was deleted in 2005.

Are you still using this account? Is there a better link to your current web activities? Andrewa (talk) 02:25, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

File:HBP-Althaea-officinalis-1988.08.12-0300.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:HBP-Althaea-officinalis-1988.08.12-0300.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.


 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
