Still no evidence that I was ever here. :(  I guess I'll have to work on extending the Oregon entry to get my name back!

Wow. Go away for a while and find a lot of work gone. I'm especially sad about the Oregon Constitution. I checked into the suggested page, but really didn't see the debate on removing it. If we've removed it, why not the US Constitution?


 * The articles on the United States Constitution are mainly commentary and explanation that cite portions of the source text (at least, they are now). If the Oregon constitution pages were removed as part of the anti-raw-source-text-dump pogroms, I'm guessing they didn't contain commentary? (I could be wrong.) There likely was no debate specific to that set of pages, but rather in general. --Brion


 * Thanks for the response.  I sort of drifted away after all the edit history was lost.  I ***liked*** being associated with the Oregon text I helped write!


 * I'm working on getting the pre-February histories restored to the new database (if I can get hold of a copy of the old database to convert from!), so hopefully that can get put back. --Brion

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Help or drop me a line. Cheers! --maveric149

Hey Rob. I moved the content from your old page (Rob Salzman) here. --Stephen Gilbert

A new Wikipedian.

Welcome, Rob (Mr. Salzman)! Thanks for changing the Aruba article.

No problem. Sorry about the initial misunderstanding. I'll try to contribute what I can, in my own words. :)

Hot damn, Rob!! It's me, AyeSpy! Wotthehellerya doin around these digs?!? In fact, just because you are here, I may put some of my pages back up...

Hey Spy! I got an email inviting me here ... and you know me - always looking for ways to waste what little spare time I've got... Hope to read you here!

Question: I quite like my writeup of Charlemagne, and don't particularly care for the changes. Is it kosher to recorrect someone's correction of my writing? I certainly understand that in this environment, we don't own our own words...

Please, go ahead! Usually in the event that something goes back and forth we start a talk page to clear up what's happening. I'm the one who changed your write up, and you're welcome to change it back, except I found a few things misleading: the kingdom didn't collapse after Charlemagne, but after his successor, and it didn't break into two pieces, but four, of which I would say Italy is pretty significant, if often neglected. I should mention, though, that any quick gloss is doomed to be overwritten sooner or later, by something more thorough.

You're absolutely right re: capitol/capital. I have a history of confusing the two. Of course, you don't need my permission to change them. :) -- Stephen Gilbert

An additional misspelling? Made by moi? Never! ;-) --Stephen Gilbert

Cool addition, that Oregon constitution. May I make a recommendation? Sometimes I personally click 'this change is a minor edit' when I'm doing large blocks of stuff like this. I do a handful as major edits, so people can see what I'm doing, but then I do the rest as minor edits.

This keeps from churning the RecentChanges page as much.

If you feel differently, by all means do differently. :-)

Thanks - I never knew what the minor edit did. I'll make judicious use of it now...

Wow, Rob. You're up late. I was quite serious about nomads/wikipedia. I think there's maybe five of 'em could contribute a little something meaningful...

Sure. What would it hurt?

And at least one of us that are lurking about trying to discern the difference betwixt meaningful and useful. And still wondering if he should care if he doesn't comply to someone's differing definition thereof. Rob, you and AyeSpy generally have some immediately thought-provoking articles here. I'd classify those under meaningful, but immediately thought-provoking articles are not the only meaningful somethings produced here. I want to contribute something meaningful and I'd like to do so within conventions and without elitism. Any advice on how to do such? --User:Invictus

Your user talk page
Hi Rob, I found your user talk page while checking through some deleted contributions. I have history merged it, so that all the edits are in one place. Hope you don't mind. Graham 87 09:06, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Account
WP:2001 has the list of early accounts. Says you joined in March 2001. Anyway, your old account User:Rob Salzman was compromised by, an LTA, due to a bug in the Phase II software, and as such was indefinitely blocked. You might be able to regain access to it by contacting a developer. — python coder (talk &#124; contribs) 14:41, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Interview Request
Hi Rob, I hope it's okay to contact you in this way. I'm a podcast producer working on an episode about open source and knowledge sharing. I found you on a list of early Wikipedia users and wondered if you'd share your motivation and some experiences on our show. Happy to share more details privately, if interested.
