Very nice to see you editing here, and hope that you continue to contribute. I think I should warn you that WP has some rules about editing articles where one has a vested interest (such as ones own biography). The rules are found here. It's best to read up on these--helps to avoid any embarrassing situations. Best wishes.--Anthon.Eff (talk) 13:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Anton. I am sensitive to such principles, and am all the more sensitive to these issues when writing in a pattern context. The pattern value system is big on giving rather than using patterns for personal economic gain; that is in fact where Wikis came from and how we evolved the early Wiki culture.

I'm really here only because I received a playfully irate mail from my wife's ex-husband asking why there was no Wikipedia article on Org Patterns. I thought I'd get something started. Most of what I've put in there so far as a skeleton is just a quick history and a bunch of reference resources. I'm happy to get others interested in contributing. If you happen by the page, please ping me if you see things heading the wrong way, and of course: edit away... Jcoplien (talk) 20:55, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed the addition of the description of the related work in ObjectTeams ("Role-Based Programming.") It contains several inaccuracies. It contrasts itself with DCI by describing DCI as having more focus on method; no, DCI is a programming technique to support the object paradigm. It says that it solves the schizophrenia problem; no, it does not, as was published at SPLASH (Coplien, James O., and Trygve Mikkjel Heyerdahl Reenskaug. The data, context and interaction paradigm. In Gary T. Leavens (Ed.): Conference on Systems, Programming, and Applications: Software for Humanity, SPLASH '12, Tucson, AZ, USA, October 21-25, 2012. ACM 2012, ISBN 978-1-4503-1563-0, pp. 227 - 228.)

I plan to edit the section down to a minimal summary and to correct the errors of fact. Jcoplien (talk) 19:53, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pail & Shovel Party


A tag has been placed on Pail & Shovel Party requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Liz Read! Talk! 15:48, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
